Jeremy puts two brand new cars from BMW to the test out on the track and on the open road. Starting with the BMW M3 out at Dunsfold, Jeremy decides to put the all-electric i8 to the test on a road trip up to Whitby in search of the best fish and chips in town. There, he must decide which he wants to use for the drive home.
With production of the Land Rover Defender finally ending after more than sixty years, Richard decides to pay tribute to this icon by replicating a famous advert for the car. An ad which saw the car being winched up the side of a dam.
Power Test[]
James hits the Top Gear test track in the all new Mercedes-Benz AMG GT.
The Stig later conducts a test to see how fast it is although in the beginning, he's seen hitting a lifesize cardboard cut-out of Daniel Ricciardo, furious that Ricciardo managed to be much faster than him although he later gets into the car and conducts the lap. As he heads to the first corner, various banners are on the wall behind him, stating "Ricciardo is a co-", the last word hidden by some big tyres.
