Richard Hammond in S550 Mustang GT

[cbrookre]

Can't wait for the new show. I might switch to Amazon Prime just for the show.

Amazon loves to hear this! I am ready for this to come out as well... Top Gear is going all out, very PC cast with Matt f'n LeBlanc?

Let's be fair -- the "cheap interior" bit is still true on base Mustangs.

Ask me how I know. . .

I wouldn't say "cheap." Sure, it's not a BMW, but it's not an igloo cooler interior like a Chevy Cobalt either. It's respectable, even if nothing to brag about.

Thanks for posting this! Great news and photos. I will not be watching the new BBC Top Gear, but will be watching every episode of Jeremy, James and Richard's new show over and over on Amazon. The Top Gear fiasco was just another factor in my decision to drop my tv service and switch to all online viewing, along with a $50 hit to my bill from Century Link for not updating my loyalty discount when I was supposed to. (Once I saw it on my bill I was on hold for almost three hours, and they still did not fix it.) addle:

I don't think those fading stripes will ever grow on me. They look worse every time I see them.

Well it's because it's a cheap car.
I think the S550 is still a very American car even being RHD. Cheap, powerful, stylish pony car.
I wonder why they choose to have the EB for the show of do the GT's in UK have no heat extractors?

It's got the 5.0 badge.

I'm pretty sure all export Mustang GTs don't have the heat extractors. Apparently it's for pedestrian safety. :shrug:

Here's a video that goes through some of that at about 44 seconds in...

Watched enough of them a few years back to figure out not to watch. Insulters of America and our love of American cars. So I'd say they're faking it for a new audience and ratings.

Except Hammond loves American cars for the most part

with Matt f'n LeBlanc?

Bet you he can out drive you.

I think he owns a '65.

Nah he owns a 67 or 68 fastback been on TG before.

I find it funny that the Europeans posting in this thread don't care for the trio, and the Americans do.

Yep, no heat extractors on European GTs.

I enjoy watching them and look forward to this show (the wife hates Jeremy though. Probably from me watching continuous repeats on Dave).

The only thing disappointing about this is that 4.8 second 0-60 time. I would assume Hammond could do better than your average Joe when it comes to the 0-60 time.

And please, no one mention the fact that the Euro version has a little less horsepower than the NA version. It's not enough to drop this engine to a 4.8 performance. Odd.
