The sixth and final episode of James May's Cars of the People aired on the 7th of February, 2016. It was presented by James May, as the last of six Top Gear spinoffs, and was the 186th episode of the show as a whole.
Synopsis[]
"This is a model of KITT, from the 1980s TV series Knight Rider with the 'Hoff. And this is the 1966 jet-powered Batmobile. The fantasy cars of TV and cinema were formed by our dreams of the car of the future. We liked the idea of a car that would talk to us, that knew where it was going, that would fly and we wondered if it could actually drive itself. Did anything come of the wild imaginings of the creators of these things? Did any of it become reality to filter down to the real cars of the people?"
After a brief introductory sequence, May announces that the theme of the show's sixth episode would be centred around innovation, and the future of the automobile.
Trivia[]
- This was the final time that any of the three hosts for the first 22 series of the show would appear in official Top Gear media until the Sabine Schmitz Tribute.
