UPDATE 2 January 2011: Season 16 is scheduled to start on 23 January [more…]. – Fans of Top Gear will have to wait until early next year for Series 16 to go to air. The news was published in the above snippet taken from the UK version of Top Gear magazine (September 2010 issue). Traditionally, [...]

The 1200bhp Bugatti Veyron Super Sport recently set a new world record for the fastest production car ever made. The average top speed recorded during the record run was an astounding 431km/h. But what is it like around the Top Gear track? Watch the clip from episode 15×05 below and see just how the Super [...]

Tom Cruise and Cameron Diaz will appear in the next episode of Top Gear. They will be the guests at the wheel of the Kia Cee’d in the “Star in a reasonably priced car” segment. The news has just been revealed by Richard Porter on TopGear.com. Porter explains, “Back in 2002 when we were planning [...]

If you haven’t caught up with the news the Kia cee’d is Top Gear‘s new Reasonably Priced Car. This fact was revealed overnight when episode 15×01 went to air on BBC2. Understandably the top brass at Kia UK are making some noise. Stephen Kitson, Kia Motors UK spokesman said, “The last time Top Gear paid [...]

As most of you will know, the wraps are about to come off a new season of Top Gear (and a new Reasonably Priced Car). The first episode goes to air on UK screens in a few hours and over at the offical site Andy Wilman, Executive Producer, gives us a preview what to expect. [...]

Great news for Oscar’s mum and dad; they’ve been featured in a new preview for Series 15 of Top Gear. The new season kicks off this weekend and you can see the latest BBC2 promo right here on AUSmotive. There it is, just after the jump. If you’d rather not listen to a couple of [...]

The makers of GT5 have finally announced a release date for their new gaming epic. North American buyers can get their hands on GT5 from 2 November 2010. Dates for other markets are yet to be announced. It’s been almost six years since the release of GT4 so the new version is not only eagerly [...]

Hyundai recently launched a couple of new TVCs that rip off Top Gear. Disturbingly called “Top Deer” the ads centre around the show’s familiar air hangar set and, of course, Jeremy Clarkson, Richard Hammond and James May. The ads have been very well executed, there’s no denying that. But is the actual premise of the [...]

The guesswork is over and it now appears Season 15 of Top Gear will return to UK screens on Sunday 27 June. At least, that’s the tip given in the latest UK version of Top Gear magazine. Should be a pretty reliable source, then. A bit interesting the boys will be back while the World [...]

If AUSmotive’s calculations are correct there’s around 56 days until Series 15 of Top Gear goes to air. So what’s in the pipeline for the next season? Well, a couple of weeks ago a YouTube clip surfaced featuring the lunatic parents of Oscar and, as it happens, Jermey, Richard and James. Some say Oscar is [...]

A number of sources are currently suggesting Series 15 will premiere on UK screens in July. BBC’s scheduling of Top Gear during Germany 2006 shows it is unlikely they will air Top Gear while the World Cup is underway. The final of South Africa 2010 is on Sunday 11 July. This all points to a [...]

Two of the scooters used in the Top Gear Vietnam Special have recently been purchased by the UK’s National Motor Museum. The 1967 Piaggio Vespa 150cc VBC Super used by Jeremy Clarkson and the rather inappropriately decorated c.1973 Honda 50cc Chaly will be added to the museum’s permanent World of Top Gear exhibition. Prior to [...]

Earlier this week we brought you the news that The Stig had been spotted alongside Loch Ness in Scotland. Now, for some inexplicable reasonthe chums at Google Street View have decided to blur little Stiggy’s image. As you can see above they’ve not done a terribly convincing job, either. From other angles, though, and further [...]

Another random Google Street View sighting of The Stig. Last year he was spotted at an office block in Hammersmith. Now, he has been spotted on the shores of Loch Ness in Scotland. While that first spotting might have had some legitimacy, given the office block is supposedly the Top Gear offices, I dare say [...]

It’s now approaching three years since the Top Gear Polar Special first went to air and the company behind the cars from the episode are giving you the opportunity to fill Jeremy Clarkson’s shoes. Reykjavik-based Arctic Trucks Experience are now offering a variety of self-drive tours around Iceland. You can choose from daily trips, 2-5 [...]
