Top Gear boys put on a great show

Top Gear Live

This year the Top Gear boys joined forces at the NEC’s annual MPH show to bring some of the series’ most unique and unusual motors to the public.

The show featured an amazing array of exciting cars from iconic manufacturers including Aston Martin, Bentley, Caparo, Ferrari, Koenigsegg, Lamborghini, Maserati, McLaren, Pagani, Porsche, Rolls-Royce and Spyker – pushing the insurance bill for this year’s show was a jaw-dropping £1 billion!

The Top Gear cars included the show’s trademark smashes, crashes and customised cars – plus acrobats laying their lives on the line, along with some middle aged men overexerting themselves before erupting into flames for no apparent reason.

To top it all off, the infamous STIG orchestrated a troop of international stunt drivers via a system of whistles and clicks!
