  • MINIs race through a London garage in 'The Britalian Job'

    The 1969 film The Italian Job features one of the best chase scenes of all times, as three MINI Cooper S models run from the police through the streets and storm drains of Turin, Italy. In homage to the 1969 film, and to honor British athletes participating in the London Olympic Games (several of whom have cameo appearances), MINI has released a video it’s calling The Britalian Job. The short film, directed by Top Gear’s lead director, Phil Churchward, is heavy on both London landmarks and nods to the original film. Park Lane Motors, where the MINI Coopers are dispatched from in...

  • An F16 closes on a Lamborghini Aventador

    The appeal of running exotic supercars against military aircraft never seems to get stale, and in recent years we’ve seen the Spyker F1, the Bugatti Veyron and the Lamborghini Reventon throw down against various fighter aircraft. We've even seen Top Gear USA pit a Dodge Viper against an attack helicopter, though not in an outright drag race. The net result is usually this: the supercar is much quicker off the line, and quicker down much of the airport runway. As a fighter jet builds speed and gains lift, however, the ultimate nod generally goes to the fighter aircraft. Despite the...

  • Screen grabs from Forza Horizon

    When it comes to console driving simulator games, the Gran Turismo series for Playstation and the Forza Motorsport series for Xbox have always favored action over plot. Those wanting a bit more plot with their racing had to settle for games like the Need For Speed series, which (generally) told a good story but lacked realistic physics. Now comes word that a new version of the Forza Motorsport franchise, dubbed Forza Horizon, will take the series in a whole new direction, blending both realism and an actual story line. Turn 10 Studios, the game’s creator, calls Forza Horizon an...
