Trama

A race to Niagara Falls from Central Park NY. A new AMG is tested on the track.

The trio engage in race to see who can get from Manhattan, New York City, to an observation tower overlooking the Niagara Falls - Clarkson opts to win the race in the new Ford GT (647 BHP, has the boot of the size a glove-box in a normal car, can't move the seat so move the steering wheel and pedals to be comfortable, 216 mph, only a 12 gallon fuel tank, hard suspension, 400,000 $ (can have 2 Ferraris for that price), V6 turbocharged (60% same components as the ford pickup truck)), while Hammond and May seek to beat him using public transport. May and Hammond must take the 2 subways and an airport train to JFK, flight to Buffalo and from there a bug to the Niagara Falls. Hammond is hobbling on crutches since his accident injury is not fully healed yet. Ford GT was put together by a team of only 20 people. As Hammond was slowing them down, May takes a wheelchair for him at JFK. Meanwhile Clarkson downgrades them to economy and tells flight attendants not to serve them alcohol. Hammond and May are slow getting to the airport, but then land In Buffalo, they are 130 miles ahead of Clarkson (as he got stuck in a jam). In the end its very close, but Clarkson makes it first by a whisker.

Conversation street: At the end of the F1 season, Kimi Raikkonen creates a record for the longest chug of champagne on podium. In Abu Dhabi since they serve rose water on podium and not champagne, maybe that's why Kimi never finishes on podium there. Self-Driving cars are programmed not to run over people. So, theoretically you could be herding it, bullying it, maybe to back up into a river (since it will make ethical decisions on whom to save and whom to allow to get hurt). Clarkson would buy an electric car, if it can survive the death road in Bolivia. The trio have never had clothing sponsorship, but their reputation is so bad that they consider reverse sponsorship.

Meanwhile, Clarkson looks at the Mercedes AMG GT R. The car was designed by Merc designers who begged their bosses to do something interesting and in turn created a car which only appeals to a person with a mental age of 8 (every man). Green color, childish noise, long bonnet, whale teeth shaped grill. Body made of carbon fiber, titanium and magnesium, huge exhausts, powerful brakes. Holds the lap record at Nürburgring. But that's the issue that it's so well built, that it doesn't slide or anything like the previous Mercedes AMGs. Twin turbo charged V8, 577 BHP (but same engine in E class saloon produces 600+ BHP). New test driver Abbie Eaton takes it for a timed lap around the Eboladrome. 1:18.7. 3rd on all-time list.

Kevin Pietersen (First car Nissan Pulsar, owned a Vauxhall Vectra) competes against Brian Wilson (First car V8, 1994 Thunderbird, rolled a stopped sign and got into a police chase. Bought a police car once and got pulled over in that for impersonating an officer) in "Celebrity Face Off" to determine who is the fastest driver amongst them. "Who is the fastest person who throws and catches small balls".. Cricket vs baseball. Once an Aussie cricketer drank 52 beers on a place coming over to England for the Ashes. Kevin 1:17.2 , Brian 1:17.5
