Fifth Gear 12

This high octane series returns to our screens this September for yet another season of power fuelled road-track trials for the fast and furious motor enthusiasts.

Join the Fifth Gear team as they present ten episodes filled with the latest automobile news and reviews, top trends, investigative reports and another set of challenges that put everything from glamorous dream cars to articulated lorries, through their paces.

In this season, the fastest car in the world, the Bugatti Veyron is road tested; the Bowler Nemesis – the off-roader, designed to tackle the world’s toughest rallies - is reviewed. Also, the General Lee from The Dukes of Hazard and The Gran Torino from Starksy and Hutch are raced against each other in a bid to find the fastest TV cop car.

Fifth Gear’s panel of experts, Vicki Butler-Henderson, Tiff Needell, Jason Plato and Tom Ford introduce new celebrities to the show to undertake more motoring challenges. Virgin Radio breakfast show DJ Christian O’Connell, attempts a stunt driving routine; comedian Paddy McGuinness takes his motorbike test and they see just how fast cricketer Shane Warne is on a racing track.
