This Week's Grand Tour Ep Will Be All About The Bugatti Chiron
The Bugatti Veyron vs plane race on Top Gear’s seventh series is up there with the show’s best ever features. And now that particular film has just turned 12 years old (it originally aired on 11 December 2005), we’re effectively getting the sequel.
Yes, in the latest episode of The Grand Tour’s second series, Jeremy Clarkson will at last be meeting the Bugatti Chiron. And yes, he does say it’s “the fastest car in the world.” With a disappointing lack of pause, we must say.
Elsewhere, James May drives the new Kia Stinger GT, and there’s a Vauxhall Insignia crashing into some bins, for some reason.
You’ll be able to stream the episode from Friday 22 December, or a little before depending on your location.
Growing up on a diet of World Rally Championship highlights and lengthy Gran Turismo 2 sessions, a life in cars was as good as inevitable for Matt.

Pssst, 21st of December is a Thursday, not a Friday
this is the fastest car
pause
in the world
It’s not though, not in acceleration, top speed or any metric.
Not a ‘hypercar’
Oh yeah just a 1500hp supercar that can easily break 260mph, pretty sure that’s in the hypercar range.
When he said that, they very well could have been doing takes before koenigsegg made their record. If that’s the case, then at the time he said it, it was the fastest car in the world.
