简介：大猩猩带着龟速船长跟鼹鼠的离开让无数车迷惋惜bbc的top gear自此一去不复返。损失了一档最为精彩的汽车节目，不过有消息称，他们会在另一个公司旗下重新开创一个一模一样的节目。对于这个内容我们先暂且搁置。回到top gear，问题来了，原来的导演、编剧、剧组甚至stig何去何从呢？ 答案是：来中国了！！！ 不得不佩服我大天朝的挖人能力..可是，挖过来干嘛呢？原来中国也有一档top gear名为《巅峰拍档》，在第一季中由程雷、任贤齐、田亮搭档的组合获得了不错的收视率，但是反响平平。如今收获如此强大的阵容，甚至stig也加盟其中可谓实力大增。 说的难听点..中方只要出三个主持人就好了，要再玩地跟上次一样，那还搞毛！！ 那么，就跟随小编的步伐，来扒一扒主持人的那些事儿。 第一季的三个主持人程雷、任贤齐、田亮如今只剩下了程雷。作为东方卫视的台柱，从童年回忆的《智力大冲浪》、到《相约星期六》再到耳熟能详的《中国达人秀》 程雷无疑是陪伴我们一路走来，成为最受上海电视观众喜爱的主持人之一。而上海的老阿姨也喜欢情切地称之为“阿拉程雷”。足以见得程雷的影响巨大。 " 这么看来，程雷的留任是个必然..尽管他犯过不少错误，翻车、“5.7排量的8升发动机你得给力啊！”等等，但相信在接下来的表现他应该会让我们看到他的进步，毕竟全民偶像啊.png?.png?.png? 田亮作为运动员出生，在节目组表现平平，英俊的外表下并没有展现卓越的主持实力，也许其他的综艺节目更加适合他的个性，比如《爸爸去哪儿》。当然，田亮的离开并没有公开真正的原因，不知道是否与跟程雷闹翻有关。（两人曾因任贤齐的mv意见不合） 至于任贤齐，毕竟专业出生，所以在三者中的表现也更能得到认可。他的离开多少有点可惜，难道是因为普通话不标准？ 好啦.png?.png?.png?接下来看看这次到来的两位新近加盟的大咖。隔了眼袋的mm马，马东.png?.png?.png?.png?每一个《奇葩说》的观众都对他的表现印象深刻，作为议长的他花式广告的能力让大家惊叹，而各种黑人的绝活也给嘉宾挖了不少坑。不知道马东的这一手广告能不能给巅峰拍档一些启示呢？（什么？你不知道《奇葩说》？21世纪最牛逼的脱口秀节目！咳咳，国内） " 伴随马东加入的，还有他辞去爱奇艺首席内容官的新闻，两者有没有联系暂时还不得而知..不过凭借能说会道的嘴，马东也许会给我们带来完全不一样的体验。 再来说说另外一个新主持——欧弟。其实个人对欧弟的了解并不算多，他曾经也做过一些主持节目，与汪涵搭档过《天天向上》等，对于主持工作应该是有一定经验的。而对于车，相较于程雷、马东，他的开车技术应该也更为出色，当然还要作为颜值担当，看样子压力不小。 对主持人的一番梳理之后，对新一季的节目又充满了期待（重点不应该是换了英国的人马嘛!!!!!） 大家都说，没有大猩猩他们三个人的top gear不是真正的top gear，要创造他们这样的巅峰的确不可能。但做出属于我们中国优秀的电视节目也并不是不可能..有人说马东会去扮演大猩猩的角色，我倒觉得没必要，做好自己的把中国的一些文化特色融入其中就是一档好的电视节目.png? 当然，还有不少看点值得我们期待.png? 1、明星车手能不能不再开出赛道未完赛.png?.png? 2、台词会不会再有错误啊.png?.png? 3、红牛会以怎么样的形式植入广告 4、节目比例会不会调整啊等等 好吧.png?10月19日，一起期待吧！

主演：杰里米·克拉克森,詹姆斯·梅,理查德·哈蒙德
简介：148Series 19, Episode 127 January 2013Damian Lewis　　Review Richard reviews the Pagani Huayra, the latest supercar from the Italian manufacturer. The car is capable of savage acceleration, with a lot of attention placed into the bodywork, interior and utilizing cutting edge technology. Despite the massive twin-turbo engine and horsepower, thanks to its sophisticated aerodynamic package, the car can easily be driven hard without the risk of spinning. The Huayra also set the fastest time on the Top Gear Test Track in the hands of The Stig, 113.8, beating the previous record, set by the Ariel Atom V8.　　News The Dacia Sandero is now on sale in the UK. The Mercedes-Benz SLS AMG Black has been updated to produce extra horsepower, but the handling is still challenging. Jeremy claims that he has found a male equivalent version of Fifty Shades of Grey, presenting a kid's book about tractors. The new Chevrolet Stingray is announced. James May turned fifty the previous week. Also, the rally team composed of war amputees (previously mentioned in series 17, episode 6) finally completed their challenge of finishing the 2013 Dakar Rally.　　Review James reviews the new Bentley Continental GT, and notes the new engine and subtle ride characteristics. Believing that the Bentley, with four wheel drive system and a big, powerful engine, can handle things worse than a Welsh countryside road, James takes the car onto a Welsh stage of the World Rally Championship, with Kris Meeke behind the wheel, and James being the co-driver. Despite the car having less grip, more weight, an electronic handbrake (unsuitable for usage on a rally stage) and James not being proficient at giving pace notes, the Bentley was actually faster than one of the full WRC cars.　　Star In A Reasonably Priced Car Damian Lewis takes his turn in the car, and drifts the Kia Cee'd around the snow-coated test track and crosses the finish line sideways, setting the slowest ever time of 209.1. Jeremy cheers Damian up by making a separate board for snow (he justs put the time underneath and to the side of the fastest lap time on that board) and says that he is the fastest driver ever on their snow board.　　Challenge Jeremy attempts to build a car smaller than the Peel P50, naming his creation the P45. It was based on a quad bike, with bodywork fitted, designed to wrap around the driver. He then presented his idea to the 'Dragons' in a Dragons' Den style format. All of the dragons declare themselves out and back in the studio, Richard concludes that for the P45 to be put in production, Jeremy would have to be dead.　　149Series 19, Episode 23 February 2013Mick Fleetwood　　Challenge, Part 1 In another challenge, the presenters picked three super cars to take on an epic race. Since it was Hammond's turn to select the challenge location, the team went to the Western United States. Jeremy selected the Lexus LFA, James chose the new Aston Martin Vanquish, and Richard took the SRT Viper. After a brief drive in the Nevada desert, the trio headed to Las Vegas Motor Speedway, specifically the drag strip, to compete in drag races organized by the Las Vegas Police Department; whom organized it with the theory that allowing people to drag race, legally, at a closed circuit, would prevent street racing. Despite the high performance of their cars, the trio were beaten by modified production cars, and 4WD cars, in each of their drag races.　　News Jeremy comes up with a solution on how to solve the crisis affecting Britain's town centres sacking all traffic wardens and removing double yellow lines. The trio then review a Chinese product designed to stop drowsiness behind the wheel, before they took a first look at the 2013 Jaguar F-Type. They praised its styling, but criticized its high price tag of £60,000, as well as its target audience. James mentions Peugeot Citroen's car intended to run on compressed air; Jeremy attempted to use a fire extinguisher to demonstrate, but failed after only causing himself to turn slowly around.　　Challenge, Part 2. After leaving Las Vegas, James and Richard make fun of Jeremy's LFA for lacking not only Bluetooth connection and iPod connectors, but cup holders, despite being the most expensive car. They are then tasked to head to Willow Springs International Motorsports Park, but they instead stop on a grooved road, where each car drives over the grooves and produces notes. When they reach Willow Springs, they are forced to play an aerial version of Laser Quest, where they would drive 5 laps around the track, whilst being chased by two Aermacchi SF.260 armed with laser guns. In the end, James won the challenge by being hit only 17 times.　　Star in a Reasonably Priced Car Fleetwood Mac's Mick Fleetwood drove the Kia Cee'd around the Test Track with a lap of 145.4.　　Challenge, Part 3 Departing Willow Springs, the group headed for Los Angeles, California. In order to do real world testing, Richard devised a challenge to see who could burn the best elevens. The three instead ended up drawing a phallus and left LA. The team then stayed for a night in Palm Springs. However, the producers gave them a final challenge. The three would drive from Palm Springs to the Mexican border at Calexico the following morning, and the last to make it to the Mexican border would have to travel into the country itself to drive the Mastretta MXT, a Mexican sports car made fun of by the presenters in an earlier series, for a later segment on the show. In revenge for taking them to America, Jeremy and James sabotaged Hammond's Viper, causing him to lose 10 minutes in the race. Despite making a stop for fuel, Jeremy made it to the finish line first, with James in second. Richard then walked to the border being the last person to arrive. At the studio, James and Jeremy end by saying that the Viper was awful and that the Vanquish and LFA were amazing.　　150Series 19, Episode 310 February 2013Amy Macdonald　　Review Jeremy reviews the Toyota GT86 and the Subaru BRZ. The cars are almost identical, but Jeremy prefers the Toyota GT86. The Stig then completed a lap of the Test Track in 1313.　　News They discuss the new Subaru Impreza, which is not coming to UK, and they then talk about the new Maserati Quattroporte.　　Challenge, Part 1 The producers have reserved a single ticket to a football match at the San Siro in Milan, Northern Italy. The trio have a race from Wembley Stadium to the San Siro. Jeremy drives the Shelby Mustang GT500 and Richard and James travel on public transport. Similar to the previous race to Monte Carlo, Richard and James are not allowed to use any cars, and Jeremy is not allowed to use any trains. According to Jeremy, since the last epic race, the trains have become faster and boats have become slower. Richard and James opened up a big lead whilst travelling on the Eurostar, and arrive in Paris while Jeremy was still crossing the English Channel on a ferry. After reaching France, Jeremy discovers that the Mustang only holds 50 litres in its fuel tank. After leaving Paris, Richard and James discuss what to do upon arriving in Milan — as there are two of them but only one ticket. Hundreds of miles behind, Jeremy ends part 1 of the challenge stating out loud, I'm gonna lose!　　Star in a Reasonably Priced Car Amy Macdonald drove the Kia Cee'd around the Test Track in 144.4. During one of her practice runs, Amy accidentally destroyed one of the runway lights, which Jeremy gives to her after revealing the lap time.　　Challenge, Part 2 The high speed TGV slowed down as it approached the mountains that surround Northern Italy. Jeremy began to catch up and was nearly neck and neck with the train, until road works at the Mont Blanc Tunnel slow him down. The train starts to accelerate again and reaches Northern Italy ahead of Jeremy. Richard and James use a tube network to get to the streets near the finish line. James maintains his opposition to run on television and Richard runs off alone to find the finish line, which is at a bar in the IM Villa Veuve Cliequot. James then assembled a bike which he had hidden in one of his bags and rides to the bar, only to find that Richard is already there and has won the race and the ticket to the football match. Moments later, Jeremy arrived and accepted defeat for the first time ever in an epic race of all the series.　　151Series 19, Episode 417 February 2013Lewis Hamilton　　Review Jeremy reviews the Vauxhall Astra VXR, Ford Focus ST and Renault Megane Renault Sport Cup. The Stig did laps of each car, the Focus being the slowest at 129.6, the Astra VXR at 128.3, and the Megane in 127.7. Despite this, Jeremy chose the Astra VXR as the best overall car of the three.　　News They discuss the newest cars, such as the Alfa Romeo 4C, the next generation Ford Mustang would be sold in Great Britain, but the UK version would come with a 2.0 EcoBoost engine, and the importance of the handbrake turn in male development.　　Review Jeremy tests the all new Kia Cee'd, putting it through a myriad of strange road tests. Including Matt LeBlanc doing a lap with both the old and new Cee'd, Bruce Willis (in character as John McClane) testing the horn of the Cee'd, Eric Clapton testing its auxiliary input jack, and Jeremy testing the Cee'd's self parallel parking feature.　　Star in a Reasonably Priced Car Lewis Hamilton opens up about his move from McLaren to Mercedes AMG and takes the old Suzuki Liana around the Test Track, setting the fastest F1 time, a 142.9.　　Review As punishment for losing the previous race, Richard is forced to review the Mastretta MXT in Mexico. Minding his words, he states that the MXT was an ambitious undertaking for the first-time manufacturer, but that it had its share of flaws.　　Challenge Jeremy and James play car rugby using Kia Cee'ds and Kia Sportages at Twickenham Stadium and Stig in Vauxhall Astra Police car as the referee. Jeremy's team wins.　　152Series 19, Episode 524 February 2013James McAvoy　　Challenge, Part 1 Jeremy and Richard attempt to design a car targeted at elderly people. Jeremy demonstrates the complexity of modern cars' dshboard. Richard brings a Fiat Multipla and both modify it. Jeremy breaks the dashboard and replaces it considering it to be too complicated for elders. Richard asks for the airbags saying that it is dangerous for the elderly who are as delicate as children, and that he needs it for a safety feature. Jeremy makes a speedometer which reads 20 mph at the top speed, he also uses an old design switch for rear fog light which does nothing. Jeremy installs a pet-cage and replaces the back seat with high seat chairs and the Fiat badge with a Rover one. They paint it in beige after observing the shade of a hearing aid. Richard uses water-resistant fabric as seat covers, and while stitching hurts his eye. They complete the car and end the part 1 with Richard wearing heavy bandages over his left eye.　　News Volkswagen will launch GTI version of the new Golf and GT version of Up will be launched. Kia will launch the Pro Cee'd GT. The Mini Paceman is launched, and the trio mock the front end of the car, claiming that it looks depressing. The trio agree that the British are the best drivers. Alfa-Romeo releases photographs of the Gloria, in which the trio make fun of it's name. Richard had arrived late so James and Jeremy had attempted to play tennis with cars (which has a lot of editing).　　Review James reviews the new Range Rover in London. The new car is completely redesigned, 400 kg lighter due to Aluminium body, has active suspension, new gearbox, minimalist dashboard and offers better comfort. James then races it against TerraMax at Nevada Automotive Test Centre, Nevada. The race was to a hill 10 mile across, passing through rocky terrain, hillock, mud, river and sand-tracks. TerraMax was switched to drone mode during the race to deflate the tyres and take a short-cut. The Range Rover's automatic Terrain Response System is demonstrated. James takes a longer route to ascend the hill but still wins the race. At the studio, the trio consider the driverless cars to be not very practical.　　Star In A Reasonably Priced Car James McAvoy drove the Kia Cee'd around the Test Track with a lap of 143.6 despite having less experience of driving cars. He drove over grassy patch in the last corner but manages to keep the car under control.　　Challenge, Part 2 Jeremy and Richard road-test their car at Christchurch, Dorset. The car has large front bumpers made up of foam, large rear-view mirrors, squeaking ball under the brake-pedal, large magnifying-glass on the dashboard, sat nav (voiced by Richard Briers) with only four destinatons. The car has an artificial cat on the roof which later fell over on the way of Bingo hall. Richard later shows his system to find the location of parked car (the car activates a flare and then releases a balloon). Jeremy shows that the radio only plays Horse of the Year Show theme on a loop, which both later find to be irresistible to clap along. The name of the car is revealed to be The James. They pick up three elderly ladies from a pensioners' home for road-testing and drive them to a bowling club where it is shown that Richard fitted the airbag at the rear for parking assist which inflates the airbag on close proximity. Jeremy and Richard buy food for picnic, choosing only British foods. They attach the shopping trolley to Tow hitch and head for picnic. The roof of the car leaks as it rains. Jeremy and Richard end up choosing a picnic spot on roadside where they find the trolley to be damaged during reversing and the food to be soaked, however they ate the food which was not ruined. The next day both leave Christchurch and Jeremy shows his system to prevent the car from being driven on the wrong side of the road, the car initially sounds alarm and later the tyres, doors and other parts of the car explode which stops the car and renders it immobile. At the studio, James considers the heater to be complicated, the trio thank Richard Briers and announce the Africa special.　　153Series 19, Episode 63 March 2013No Guest　　First of the two-episode Africa Special, taking place in Africa. The episode was shot in 2012.　　Challenge, Part 1 Buy used estate cars for up to £1,500 in Britain and report at a small village in rural Uganda. Jeremy arrives in a BMW 528i Touring, Richard in a Subaru Impreza WRX Estate and James in a Volvo 850R Wagon. The challenge is to find the true source of the river Nile.　　They set off an discover that exploring isn't as difficult as first thought when they go on a nice easy drive and find Lake Victoria, of whom the Victorian Explorers thought was the source of the Nile. However they are then told that it is not the actual source of the Nile and there were two other disputed locations for it, one in Rwanda and one in Burundi. However, Jeremy Clarkson insisted that both of these locations were wrong and decided to head west towards Lake Edward to see whether there was a link between that lake and Lake Kivu in Rwanda.　　In their journey west, where they visit the Entebbe Airport and from there see the Ford Scorpio Estate back-up car. They continue into Kampala, Uganda's Capital City where they get held up in a traffic jam overnight, the most hurrendous traffic they'd ever seen.　　They continue on well-maintained highways west finding their trip incredibly easy before reaching the town of Mbarara in the southwest of the country, via a stop in Jezza, a village in Mpigi District. Here they stay in a disgusting hotel, after driving through tea plantations in an attempt to discover a lovely teahouse hotel, which in the mind of Richard, was bound to found due to tea programmes he'd seen.　　In Mbarara they stayed in the Economic Lodge with Jeremy having a bed with faeces on it. They left the hotel disgusted before Richard has the idea to make the cars 'hotels'. James modifies his Volvo by adding a library, Richard adds a cooker and Jeremy adds a coffin. The coffin he uses to put his clothes in, he sleeps on Egyptian Cotton.　　They leave for Lake Edward, camping overnight there because of its beauty before heading in search of the river heading for Lake Kivu. None of the rivers connect the lake as they all head east rather than south. They give up, leaving them disappointed. Then Jeremy looks at a map and discovers the source of the Nile must be on the other side of Lake Victoria. His reasoning is that the Mediterranean Sea is effectively an inland sea and so Gibraltar is the true mouth of the Nile, rather than Alexandria in Egypt.　　After discovering this they decide that they must drive straight to the other side of Lake Victoria to get to the southeast coast in Tanzania near the Serengeti. They start this journey by heading south into the Rwenzori Mountains, finding the going hard and most of the time getting their vehicles stuck in mud.
