In Top Gear season 24 episode 3, the gang heads to Saint-Tropez, France, to test out three of the most expensive convertibles money can buy: the McLaren 570S Spider, the Audi R8 Spyder, and the Porsche 911 Turbo S. They take on a series of challenges, including a race around a naval air base, to determine which car is truly the best.
Next up, host Rory Reid travels to Iceland to test out the new Volkswagen Up GTI, a pocket rocket of a car. He braves the ice and snow to put the car through its paces, showing off its impressive handling and speed.
Back in England, the team tackles a challenge set by the Royal Mail: can they successfully deliver a package using only cars that cost less than 2,500 pounds? Chris Harris opts for a Jaguar XJ6, Matt LeBlanc chooses a Russian UAZ Jeep, and Rory Reid goes for a Ford Transit van. They navigate a variety of obstacles and challenges along the way, but will they be able to complete the task?
Finally, the episode concludes with a performance test of the Kia Stinger GT, a car that has been making waves for its combination of luxury and performance. Can it live up to the hype? The team puts it through its paces on both a drag strip and a winding road to see if it truly deserves its spot in the competitive sports sedan market.
Overall, Top Gear season 24 episode 3 offers up a diverse range of cars and challenges, showcasing the hosts' endless enthusiasm and love for all things automotive.
