Jeremy, Richard and James attempt to save the planet by building their own electric car, and then put their latest 'green' creation through the rigors of the new car testing process. Meanwhile on the track, the battle of the continents, as Europe takes on the USA and Jeremy pits the Corvette ZR1's muscle against the finesse of Audi's R8 V10. The Star in a Reasonably Priced Car is Hollywood's hottest new property, Frost/Nixon and Damned United star Michael Sheen.

5. Episode 5

Jeremy Clarkson, Richard Hammond and James May attempt to prove that cars can be art by taking over an entire art gallery in Middlesbrough and filling it with motoring-related works!

6. Bolivia Special

Undaunted after their epic adventures across Botswana, Vietnam and The Arctic Circle, the Top Gear presenters embark upon their most exciting challenge yet. Clarkson, Hammond and May are dropped deep in the Bolivian rainforest armed only with three shabby 4x4s. Forcing their way through gullies, rivers and dense vegetation, they succeed in crossing the jungle, only to encounter drug lords, the effects of high altitude, and the world´s most perilous highway.

Jeremy Clarkson makes a film about the BMW X6 and ends up conducting one of the most expensive road tests in Top Gear history. James May drives the new Vauxhall Insignia VXR, accompanied by Margaret Calvert, the designer of Britain's road signs; and Richard Hammond tests the 340,000 pound Lexus supercar on the Top Gear track.
