@oliverrugg37323 years ago They should probably just scrap top gear and replace it with 30 minute episodes of " chris harris on cars" on bbc 1. 1303

@-DC-3 years ago Harris must have a spine of steel as he is carrying the entire show. 680
@

@raphymartinez3 years ago Im a tesla owner and i agree 100% all regular vehicles can be electric. But cars like the 911 should remain gas cars. I cant imagine a gt3 that doesnt scream as it crosses 8, 0rpm. 69

@

@jealva3 years ago Chris is so right about the 997 generation of porsches. Its the sweet spot in terms of modern but still analog p cars and it has the last generation of the legendary mezger engine. 4

@

@nealp8853 years ago If you think about it the previous top gear we all love from 2003 to 2015 was made in the absolute peak car enthusiasts love. After the mid 2010' is when things became less exciting and just a bit bland. 12
@

@siviter3 years ago The 911 can become a plug-in hybrid and be fine for sale after 2030. On the synthetic fuels. I think they will be used alongsideand on historic models. 22

@pic18f4523 years ago Thank you chris, now you just bumped up the prices on all the 997s we' ve been waiting so long for them to drop in price! 5
