    Lego House May Face Very Real Wrecking Ball In 24 Hours

    No doubt you were impressed by the two story Lego house built by Top Gear's James May and 1000 volunteers. Unfortunately, the pictures may be all that's left unless they can find a buyer in the next 24 hours. More »

    Take a Look At the House Made Completely of Lego Bricks

    Top Gear's James May is working on building an entire house out of Lego bricks for another show, and it's really coming together. Hell, even the toilet is made of Lego in this place. More »

    This Is What It Feels Like To Fly In a U2 Spy Plane

    I love Top Gear, but when James May gets the opportunity to fly to the edge of space on board a U2 spy plane, my love turns to plain, absolute, complete, overwhelming hate. Bloody good video indeed. More »

    Stuntman Steve Truglia drives a puny Toyota around a loop-the-loop in a record-setting stunt for British TV show (and Top Gear doppelganger) Fifth Gear. The full stunt, safe descent (hopefully) included, airs this Saturday. [Dailymail]

    Top Gear America to Build 70MPG Car Out of a 1971 VW Rabbit for $7,000

    Sure, you can get a fuel-efficient hybrid car, but it'll cost tens of thousands of dollars. That's too much for the Top Gear America crew, who've set out to build a 70MPG car for $7,000. More »

    Top Gear Crew Puts the Tesla Roadster Through Its Paces

    If there's a more entertaining show about cars in the world than the BBC's Top Gear, I've never seen it. Which is why we're psyched to see them take on the Tesla Electric Roadster.

    Top Gear Races Nissan GT-R Vs. Bullet Train In Japan

    The Top Gear crew is in Japan for this week's episode and they've got another heated race for us: A Nissan GT-R R35, a gadget car by dynamic handling and Playstation inspired dashboard vs. a bullet train, running both from Japan's northern Hakui-Shi coast to Tokyo. With no surprise ol' Clarkson is driving the fiery beast while Hammond and May are left traveling Japanese public transportation. I'm not gonna spoil the race for ya though, but Jalopnik has the results for you. [Jalopnik]

    Shooting Flying Cars with Machine Guns, Rocket Launchers

    I'm on the beach on semi-vacation now, here in the south of Spain, and we have BBC One via satellite. This means one thing on Sunday nights: Top Gear. Chances are that you probably have watched Top Gear clips on YouTube, like the one above, in which Jeremy Clarkson replaces clay pigeons and shotguns with real flying cars, machine guns and, at the end of it, a gas-tank-seeking (no kidding) rocket launcher.

    Top Gear Coming to NBC in Remake Form

    I've got good news and bad news. First, the good: the amazing British auto show Top Gear is coming to the US! Now, the bad: it's in the form of a remake on NBC, haters of original ideas and kings of the unnecessary remake! That means that the wonderful hosts — Jeremy Clarkson, James May and Richard Hammond — won't be involved. Instead, knowing NBC, it'll probably be hosted by Macho Man Randy Savage, Vern Troyer and Alicia Silverstone. Time will tell whether or not they'll be able to pull the remake off (they did a damn good job with The Office, after all), but I'm more than skeptical. Hit the jump to check out my favorite Top Gear segment ever and then try to imagine NBC doing something half as entertaining. More »

    Full-Sized Remote Control Cars and Explosions

    Oh how I love Top Gear. Why is there no show this good being produced in the States? In today's example of why this is one of the sweetest shows on TV in any country, we see a race between a souped-up remote-control electric car and a regular old remote-control car. The results are, well, not expected and infinitely entertaining. Keep on keeping on, Top Gear. [Jalopnik]

    BMW Prototype Races Autonomously

    Top Gear got some time behind the wheel of a BMW 330i that can drive itself. How it works: a human driver takes the car around the track for a spin, while the car records data of event. Then, using military-grade GPS, the car can coordinate its position on the track with the driver data to zoom around at high, pants-crapping speeds. It's like Knight Rider's KITT, if David Hasselhoff preferred tweed over leather. [crave via bbg]

    What Car Nuts Really Think of the Prius Hybrid Electric

    The Prius is widely recognized as a technological marvel, with its regenerative braking, its hybrid electric motor setup, and the supercar-low drag coefficient of 0.26. Which is why it's sobering to geeks and treehuggers to watch Top Gear describe the Prius as so slow that "a child could run into the street, retrieve his ball, and grow to puberty, before the Prius could hit him." And at a tested 45mpg, it's actually less green than a diesel. More »

    Boeing 747 Makes Mincemeat Out of a Couple of Cars

    Next time you decide to take a little joyride behind a Boeing 747 with its engines at full throttle cranking out 58,000 lb. of thrust each, think of this video from the Brit car series Top Gear. Forget how small electronics fare in a blender. We want to see how large machinery stands up to a 747! More »

    Radio-Controlled Car Goes Full Size, Man Inside

    Radio-controlled cars are toys, right? Well, not this one, where the crew of the Brit TV series TopGear runs a full-sized radio-controlled car through a muddy obstacle course. Looks like it's not easy to control, as the two guys try it out on each other. Must be a weird feeling! – Charlie White More »

    Lightning Strikes Car, With Man In It

    Cars are supposed to protect the driver in the case of a lightning/voltage strike. Apparently it's not the rubber tires that insulate the vehicle, but that the shell is attached in a way to keep the threat away from (most) of the cabin. More »

    Top Gear's Limey Bastards Hack Cars for Remote Control

    There are only so many stunts you can pull in a car before you worry about getting yourself killed. So UK auto show Top Gear rigged some with remote controls, and raced them past a swinging wrecking ball, through a dirt track, and over ramps.– Brian Lam More »
