Top Gear S27E01

The 27th Series of BBC Top Gear promises to be the craziest Top Gear of this era because joining alongside Chris Harris are two new presenters, Freddie Flintoff and Paddy McGuinness, as the new Top Gear team are doing crazy stuff while sampling the best machines on Planet Earth.

The 27th series kicked off with an sorta epic road trip at Ethiopia, known to be the birthplace of humankind, as the three presenters set off with what they're known to be the finest example of every driver's first car. Chris drives a Mini, Freddie drives a Porsche Boxster, and Paddy drives a Ford Escort Mk2. With cars like these, the boys set off to their Ethiopian adventure filled with vast mountains, world heritage sites, and the hottest year-round place on Earth, the Danakil Depression.

On the track, meanwhile, Chris Harris samples two of the most hardcore mid-engined exotics on the road today, the Ferrari 488 Pista and the McLaren 600LT. When handed to the Stig, the 488 Pista overtook last season's 911 GT2 RS to become Top Gear Track's fastest car at the time of 1:12.7 while the 600LT did it in 1:15.1

As the world gone mad nowadays, the 27th series of Top Gear is going to be mad as hell thanks to the new team assembled for such purpose but still, there's a lot of fun things waiting for you this summer on Top Gear.
