Top Gear Finale: Preview


There have been ups, downs and also some vomit, but the new series of Top Gear is almost over. The future looks uncertain as the public has not taken to Chris Evans and there are reports suggesting Matt LeBlanc will quit if Evans stays on. That aside though, what will feature on tomorrow's show?

True Icons

Tomorrow's show will host some real icons of the motoring world - the Honda NSX and the Ford Mustang. Chris Harris will be taking the reigns of NSX whilst Rory Reid will will be behind the wheel of the Mustang. It won't be the hairy-chested V8 though, Reid will be driving the four-cylinder 2.3 litre EcoBoost powered model, which may not sound overly exciting but it will still offer a 0-62mph time of 5.8 seconds and top speed of 145mph.

Matt LeBlanc also gets in action, he'll be driving the Porsche 911 R which features the body of the GT3 and the engine of the GT3 RS. Chris Evans will also be driving some motoring icons - albeit a little more classic. He'll be investigating a technique called 'resto-modding', a process in which classic cars get modern upgrades to bring them in the 21st century. Essentially you get the best of both worlds - lovely, classic styling fused with modern performance and handling.

Dempsey and Davies race in the Rallycross car

The Mini Rallycross car will be host to actor and race car driver Patrick Dempsey and comedy giant - literally - Greg Davies. Will either of them be able to knock Anthony Joshua off the top of the leaderboard?

So all-in-all the show whets the appetite of any petrolhead and it has the potential to finish the series in style.
