Top Gear Australia: Ashes Special

Top Gear: US Special is a full-length, special edition episode for BBC motoring program "Top Gear", and was first broadcast on BBC Two on 11 February 2007, as part of the 3rd episode of Series 9, with the special repeated in an edited version for UKTV channel Dave.
 The special sees hosts, Jeremy Clarkson, Richard Hammond, and James May travelling on a journey from Miami to New Orleans in three used cars to find if it's more economical to buy a vehicle rather than rent one.
 The Production Notes section of the "Top Gear" website describes the creation and production of this episode as "one of the most grueling shoots in Top Gear history, damn near finishing off several members of the crew through exhaustion."
The 7th generation of Rolls-Royce Phantom was a large luxury car made in the United Kingdom by Rolls-Royce Motor Cars.
 It was launched in 2003 and is the first model introduced during the BMW era.
 The Rolls-Royce Phantom Drophead Coupé, and the Rolls-Royce Phantom Coupé, are both based on the 2003 Phantom.
 It also won the "Top Gear" Car of the Year Award for 2003.
Top Gear: Extra Gear, known simply as Extra Gear, is a British online television series, broadcast by BBC Three, which is online only and is available on on-demand service BBC iPlayer in the United Kingdom; the series serves as a spin-off show to "Top Gear".
 In the first series, the main presenters were "Top Gear" co-presenters Rory Reid and Chris Harris.
 After Reid and Harris were appointed as main presenters to the parent show, comedian George Lewis was announced as the new lead presenter, starting from series 2 onwards.
The eleventh series of "Top Gear" was aired on BBC Two during 2008 and consisted of six episodes, beginning on 22 June and concluding on 27 July 2008.
 A new character was introduced in this series named Top Gear Stunt Man (credited as Jim Dowdall, though not named in-programme); he appeared in the first two episodes of the show, and made a guest appearance in the next series.
 With the exception of the final episode, this series saw two guests in each episode, with the segment "Star in a Reasonably Priced Car" being re-branded subsequently as "Stars in a Reasonably Priced Car".
The Pagani Huayra (] ) is an Italian mid-engined sports car produced by Pagani.
 Succeeding the company's previous offering, the Zonda, it had a base price of €850,000.
 It is named after Huayra-tata, a Quechua wind god.
 The Huayra was named "The Hypercar of the Year 2012" by "Top Gear" magazine and received a very positive review when tested by Richard Hammond on "Top Gear".
 The Huayra was previously the fastest road car to go around the Top Gear Test Track, setting a time of 1:13.8, beating the previous record of 1:15.1 set by the Ariel Atom V8 in January 2011, and also placed above other hypercars such as the Aston Martin Vulcan, Bugatti Veyron 16.4, Bugatti Veyron 16.4 Super Sport, Ferrari Enzo Ferrari, Koenigsegg CCX, Lamborghini Sesto Elemento, and Pagani Zonda F.
 It is also unofficially faster around the track than the Ferrari LaFerrari.
 However, in June 2016, the Huayra was beaten by the McLaren 675LT that set a record of 1:13.7.
The twenty-third series of "Top Gear" was aired during 2016 on BBC Two and consisted of six episodes, beginning on 29 May and concluding on 3 July; it was planned to feature ten episodes, but this was revised following concerns the series would conflict with the two major sporting events of Summer 2016, despite the fact it was broadcast alongside UEFA Euro 2016 tournament.
 Following the departure of Jeremy Clarkson, Richard Hammond and James May, this series featured a new hosting line-up that consisted of Chris Evans, Matt LeBlanc, Sabine Schmitz, Chris Harris, Rory Reid and Eddie Jordan; regular unnamed driver The Stig was the only part of the former line-up not to leave.
 While the format received only minor changes, the studio at Dunsfold was redesigned and the Top Gear Test Track received a brand new rallycross circuit to co-exist alongside it, complete with a brand new car for celebrities – a Mini Rallycross Car, which replaced the Vauxhall Astra Tech Line.
 A brand new spin-off show was also created, entitled "Extra Gear", which was broadcast on online channel BBC Three, and had the same number of episodes with each airing immediately after each episode of Series 23.

 Price was to be ranged between 31,000 and 47,000 USD and was scheduled to be available to the Chinese market in 2014.
