In Top Gear season 7 episode 2, the show's hosts Jeremy, Richard, and James continue their quest to find the perfect winter vehicle by testing out a variety of cars and trucks.
The episode kicks off with a race between Richard in a Land Rover Defender and Jeremy in a motocross bike. The race takes place through slushy and snowy terrain, with both racers struggling to keep a grip on the slippery surface.
Next up, the hosts take on a challenge to build their own winter vehicle out of an old car. The catch? They can only spend £1,500 on the project. James opts for a Volkswagen van while Richard chooses a Subaru Legacy and Jeremy settles on an old Mercedes-Benz.
The hosts then take their creations on a series of challenges, including a hill climb and an ice race. As expected, the cars don't fare too well, with James encountering engine problems and Jeremy's Mercedes struggling to handle the slippery conditions.
In the final segment of the episode, Jeremy takes the new Porsche 911 Turbo for a spin, testing out its acceleration, handling, and braking capabilities. The car impresses Jeremy, who declares it one of the best sports cars he's ever driven.
Overall, Top Gear season 7 episode 2 is a fun and lighthearted episode that showcases the hosts' humor and camaraderie. While the winter vehicle challenge is a bit of a dud, the race between Richard and Jeremy and the Porsche review are highlights of the episode.
