Episodios de Temporada 1 (15)

1 Winter Olympics Special
12/2/06
Solo disponible en la temporada
The team travel to Norway where they attempt Olympic events - in cars. A rocket-powered mini is fired off a ski jump, Jeremy and James tackle the biathlon with 4x4s, Richard stages a game of car ice hockey, and the new Jaguar XK races a speed skater.
2 US Road Trip Special
10/2/07
Solo disponible en la temporada
Jeremy Clarkson, James May and Richard Hammond travel to Florida in order to prove that a fly-drive holiday would be more fun if you bought a car instead of renting one. Having picked up some wheels for no more than $1,000 each, the boys embark on an epic road trip to find out who got the best deal, encountering heat, flies and some very angry locals along the way.
3 Polar Special
25/7/07
Solo disponible en la temporada
It's the ultimate test of man against machine - or should that be dog against machine - as the Top Gear team set out on their most ambitious and arduous challenge to date. Jeremy Clarkson, James May and Richard Hammond take part in an epic land race to the Magnetic North Pole. Jeremy and James drive a specially modified Toyota Hilux. Richard, meanwhile, travels on a sled pulled by a team of 10 Canadian Inuit dogs. Pitting dog power against horse power may sound like a one-sided contest but, given the nature of the terrain, there's no telling who will make it to the pole first.
4 The Bolivia Special
26/12/09
Solo disponible en la temporada
They've crossed Vietnam by motorcycle, ventured through the deserts of Botswana and narrowly avoided getting shot in Miami, but nothing has prepared Jeremy, Richard and James for their most epic adventure yet. The boys are dropped deep in the wilds of the Bolivian rain forest with nothing except three shabby 4x4s, which they bought from the local classifieds as they attempt to drive to the coast of Chile. On the way, they encounter local drug lords, are pushed to the edge (literally) on the infamous Death Road and battle the absolutely debilitating effects of altitude sickness. Nothing has prepared the boys for their toughest (and most unmissable) challenge they have ever faced!
5 The Vietnam Special
25/12/08
Solo disponible en la temporada
Jeremy Clarkson, Richard Hammond and James May travel to Vietnam. Their aim is to travel the entire length of the country in just eight days, thereby achieving what the American military failed to do in 10 years. However, first they must each buy some suitable transport for the trip and, despite having several million Dong in their pockets, this proves to be of rather less value than they originally thought, especially in one of the most expensive car markets in the world. Nonetheless, the boys are resourceful and, with their wheels finally sorted, they set off on one of the most spectacular and incredible Top Gear road trips ever attempted.
6 The Botswana Special
5/11/07
Solo disponible en la temporada
The team travel to Africa where they are challenged to buy a second hand car costing no more than £1,500 and in no way designed to go off road and drive across the wilds of Botswana. Along the way they must negotiate salt pans, rivers and reserves full of animals while facing sweltering heat and suffocating dust.
7 Middle East Special
25/12/10
Solo disponible en la temporada
The three wise men of Top Gear embark on a seasonal road trip in attempts to recreate the famous journey across the Middle East to Bethlehem. Their adventure takes place in a trio of open top sports cars, each ill-equipped to face the conflict ridden mountains of Southern Turkey, the dangerous war zones of Iraq and the searing deserts of Syria.
8 The India Special
27/12/11
Solo disponible en la temporada
Jeremy Clarkson, Richard Hammond and James May set out to boost the British economy by embarking on a trade mission to India. Equipped with three old British cars and a range of uniquely British products, they set off on an epic road trip across one of the world's most fascinating and challenging countries, devotedly promoting Britain with distinctly mixed results.
9 Africa Special Pt. 1
11/3/13
Solo disponible en la temporada
In the first of a two-part Top Gear special, Jeremy Clarkson, Richard Hammond and James May are in Africa with a simple mission -- to find the definitive source of the Nile. Over the years many explorers claim to have already done just that, but the Top Gear trio believe that they can do better by traveling further and faster than any exploration team in history using only grit, ingenuity and three ageing estate cars.
10 Africa Special Pt. 2
18/3/13
Solo disponible en la temporada
In the second part of the Top Gear special, Jeremy Clarkson, Richard Hammond and James May continue their epic African odyssey. Having survived insane traffic, lethal mud slides and some distinctly dubious map reading, the trio and their ailing estate cars reach the climax of their quest to find the definitive source of the Nile.
11 Burma Special Pt. 1
8/3/14
Solo disponible en la temporada
Jeremy Clarkson, Richard Hammond, and James May are on a mission to build a bridge over the River Kwai in Thailand. In order to do so, they must first drive across a country that has been largely closed to Westerners for over 40 years: Burma. The trio must make this trip in three trucks that have been bought for a limited budget. What follows is an epic journey of beautiful scenery, regular adversity, ongoing malfunction, and constant bickering between the three hosts.
12 Burma Special Pt. 2
15/3/14
Solo disponible en la temporada
Jeremy Clarkson, Richard Hammond, and James May continue their journey in three ancient and barely functioning trucks, heading toward their final challenge - building a bridge over River Kwai in Thailand. Having climbed mountains and endured a Burmese trucker stop, they must now venture into the Shan state, an area rife with civil war and normally closed to Western TV crews.
13 Patagonia Special Pt. 1
26/12/14
Solo disponible en la temporada
Jeremy Clarkson, Richard Hammond and James May take three V8-engined sports cars on a gruelling 1600 journey through the spectacular landscapes of Patagonia.

14 Patagonia Special Pt. 2

15 Burma Special Extended Edition
9/3/14
Solo disponible en la temporada
Jeremy Clarkson, Richard Hammond, and James May are on a mission to build a bridge over the River Kwai in Thailand. However, in order to do so, they must first drive across a country that has been largely closed to Westerners for over 40 years: Burma. The trio must make this trip in three trucks that have been bought for a limited budget. Unsurprisingly, they are not quite as the presenters might have hoped or expected. What follows is an epic journey of beautiful scenery, regular adversity, ongoing malfunction, and the constant bickering between the three hosts.
