Spy camera – Top Gear spotted filming in New York


The three famous presenters of the Top Gear show have been spotted in New York rumoured to be filming season 16 of Top Gear, in some rather fetching supercars…

Now that the Stig has apparently made himself known as Ben Collins, Top Gear encountered a few issues following the whole debacle. This has not curbed the trio’s enthusiasm, including Jeremy Clarkson, James May and Richard Hammond, as you can see from the Top Gear Season 16 sneak peak video above.

The supercars included Hammond in the Porsche 911 GT3 RS pushing 450bhp which he adores… Clarkson driving an SLS AMG – 571bhp, and May driving a red Ferrari 458 Italia – 570bhp! Where else could you find a Ferrari driving experience that delivers that much punch?! Three supercars fitting the same description, driven by British presenters and followed by a camera crew were also seen in North Carolina!

It seems like the were having a bit of bother getting off the kerbs and back onto the roads in the video, where they obviously have only a few centimetres of space due to the supercars being extremely low!

Looks like we’re in for a treat when Top Gear Season 16 hits the screens, I personally can’t wait!

Porsche 918 Spyder plug in hybrid supercar to be produced!


Porsche has decided to run a limited number of their 918 Spyder plug-in supercars after showing it off at the 2010 Geneva motor show this year. Overwhelming numbers of people who admired their concept car have provided the push needed for them to be able to make the 918 Spyder.

Not wanting to go all out into the production stage before securing some orders, the minimum required was 1,000 and some sources said they had around 2,000 in the first seven days! There were also talks about Porsche’s commitment to the balance of incredible performane working side by side with drivetrains which are very efficient. Production will remain in Germany for now.

The drivetrain was pretty clever, being plug-in it added 218bhp to the already powerful 500bhp engine, providing a whopping 718bhp in total!

The miles per gallon in this supercar is out of this world, being a hybrid it does 78mpg! It does 0-60 in about 3.2 seconds with a top speed of just under 200mph!

Rumours abound are speculating the price to be around £400,000. Of course getting in and racing around in a Porshe doesn’t have to cost the Earth, when our Porsche driving experience starts at £99 but our recommended Porsche supercar experience is the Porsche master driving experience!

Harrods owners’ supercars get clamped outside their own store!


The new owners of Harrods managed to get their supercars clamped after parking outside their storefront. The video below shows both the colour co-ordinated Lambo Murcielago LP670-4 along with Koenigsegg CCXR, jointly worth over 1.5 million pounds, after being clamped.

The exotic supercars drew enough attention as it was, but what created the most ogling was when the two supercars managed to get clamped for their parking.

Maybe the £150 parking fine didn’t bother them, especially after they bought the previously owned store from Al Fayed for 1.5bn pounds three months ago, but it certainly created a bit of a stir.

Both supercars are revelled for their power and ferocious speeds. The Koenigsegg is capable of a whopping 249 miles per hour while the Lambo would be left slightly behind at just over 210 mph. Both do zero to sixty times in around 3 seconds.

The family who bought Harrods have an estimated worth of 2.5 billion pounds, with not bad taste in motors I say!

Which brings me to the question… If you were a billionaire (or billionairess) what supercars would you have parked in your garages?

You could always get a taste for supercars with our supercar experience, which has many people coming back for more great experience days!
