Join Jeremy Clarkson, Richard Hammond and James May as they travel across the globe on their Grand Tour.

Sometimes it’s even a show about cars, reviewing Italian classics, hot hatchbacks, muscle cars, pick-up trucks, luxury vehicles and more. There’s something for everyone (If you like middle-aged men doing things with cars, then this is the show for you!)
Prime Video has thousands of popular movies and TV shows, including award-winning Amazon Originals, plus live sport and more. All included with Prime!

  • I just rewatched every episode of Top Gear all seasons and then grand tour completely for the 3rd time. Please don't ever Stop. If there is any show so immensely vivid, funny, exiting, knowledgeable, adventurous and entertaining on this planet to have been ever made... It's this one. The Grand Tour must always Go on. It's is an epic story about friendship, playtime and love for all things 4 wheels. It's a celebration of God's best works, to contemplate the mysteries of his creation...... It's never a Terrible disappointment. It is THE BEST SHOW ever.!!!! The legacy that these three created, the hilarious banter, the carefree insults, Damn it...!!! This is the Best❤️

    • Is it interesting? Because most people I imagine will say its rather stupid. The idea could work if you wire up EVERY machine in the gym and then store it all in a massive battery. Even then its a massive amount of money spent upfront, maybe if the gym itself is powered by the device it would make long term sense. The video itself was stupid, and in line with the petrol only message they always send.

  • Take a look at the new solar powered Aptera. With the full solar panel option it can charge up to 40 miles a day in the summer. You can also plug it in. Battery sizes up to 1000 mile range. I will only need to plug mine in about 2 or 3 times in the winter. I ordered the full solar panel option, AWD, and with a 600 mile range battery. 0-60 MPH in about 4 seconds with a top speed of over 100 MPH. Expected delivery around summer 2024

    • @@thebolsta You do know cars can be repaired right? ICE cars also don't last very long. All cars need regular maintenance and replacement parts every once in a while. Electric cars are even cheaper to maintain because there are less moving parts. The big question used to be the battery but by now we know that they last more than a decade and still function so that question has been answered. The next big step that is being implemented already is battery recycling. I know of some battery recycling plants but right now they don't have a lot of work (other than research and testing) because the first generation of e-cars from the 2000's are still going strong.
