In the first of a new-look series of Top Gear Jeremy Clarkson drives an insanely powerful Swedish supercar, Richard Hammond races a jet powered canoe and the boys create the world's first convertible people carrier by sawing the top off a Renault Espace!

Wonder what new car Richard will be racing a jet powered canoe in.....

Totally look forward to the CCX! Lets hope it doesn't break down and we get to see Clarkson ripping plenty of burnouts images/smilies/driving.gif

As for the Espace...well its been done before so I wonder how they will differentiate this segment.

Well the press release simply says

Quote:

Richard Hammond races a jet powered canoe

I'm assuming someone is in this really fast jet-powered canoe and Richard is in some newly released car and they need to race to a particular point perhaps??

They always say that TVRs smell like a canoe factory, so maybe its not a canoe, but a powerfull fiberglass jackhammer!

And do you guys really think its gonna be the CCX? I guess it could very well be the CCR... Which would still rock my world to pieces!!!!!

ryosuke · April 27th, 2006, 03:05 PM

i actually wondered:"what swedish supercar?"
then i read ccx...i totally forgot knnooenigngneggegsegs images/smilies/biggrin.gif

If I'm not completely off Jeremy already did the roof thingey in "Heaven and Hell"...with the latter being the palce where the Espace rightfully went images/smilies/tongue.gif

MoltenAG47 · April 27th, 2006, 06:07 PM

Looks like Justin Hawkins will make his second appearance as guest for the May 7th, 2006 episode. Is there a replacement for the Liana? How many previous guests will return to "update" their times?

News here about his appearance.

If you would look a bit closer, I have changed it recently, and it already is the CCX...

@Kebab gud: Where did you read that they brought a CCX to the UK? For testing purposes? Or for a customer? The last thing I heard from them was the SportAuto Supertest (a mag that takes cars to the Ring and another track to really put it trough some serious stuff... http://www.koenigsegg.com/news/artic...=131&type=news)
