Synopsis
Top Gear Season 9 (2007) — watch online on iFILM: six BBC episodes plus an American road-trip special.
The season opens with Richard Hammond back in the studio after his near-fatal crash in a Vampire jet car at 288 mph. James promptly takes a Bugatti Veyron to its actual maximum — 253 mph on a Volkswagen test track, faster than any Formula 1 car. The USA Special is the centrepiece: each host buys a car for under $1,000 in Miami and drives it through Mississippi to New Orleans, with painted slogans on the bodywork that quickly attract very hostile local attention. Other episodes turn a Reliant Robin into a space shuttle and close out the run with a homemade stretch limo.
Nine series in and the show still manages to find new territory. Stream Top Gear Season 9 online on iFILM.
