Episode Summary & Review

Summary

Richard tests the Aston Martin’s V8 Vantage against a jet pack man. Who will win the Top Gear race from congested West London to London City Airport, James in the new Mercedes GL500, Richard on the latest, state of the art bicycle, Stig on public transport, or Jeremy in a racing speedboat? Jeremy drives the new Caparo T1. The X Factor judge Simon Cowell is the Star In a Reasonably Priced Car.

Our Take

Very good, not the series’ peak, but an hour that reminds you why Top Gear works.
