The automotive event launches in London on November 4, at the MPH Prestige & Performance Motor Show powered by Shell V-Power, and will be played to over 300,000 spectators across seven cities around the world.
The crew will then take in Birmingham, Dublin, Brisbane, Melbourne, Johannesburg and eventually Oslo for five months of touring. The ‘Prototype Tour’ ends in March 2011.
“He thought we said Dublin when we actually said Dunsfold,” explained Clarkson. “Car stunt shows used to involve standing in rain soaked concrete car parks watching men in branded hats driving round in circles. But Top Gear Live continues to prove that proper theatre with cars is possible and yet again, we’ve pushed the boundaries of car theatre for this ‘Prototype Tour’. It’s ambitious, but for once, it isn’t complete rubbish.”
Top Gear Live will feature some of the world’s most expensive, powerful and extremely modified cars. Stars of the show will include the first ever transparent car and a custom-made “Godzilla” Nissan GT-R going head-to-head with a police helicopter. Indoors.
