Jeremy de-stresses in the SLS in NYC

The Top Gear crew – Clarkson, Hammond & May – have been in New York with a Mercedes SLS, a 458 Italia and a Porsche 911 GT3 RS. We have Video.

It’s that time of the year when Top Gear is off air. So Top Gear off air means the boys must be out playing somewhere in the world for the next series. This time last year Top Gear were in Romania. This time we’ve got Top Gear in New York.

Messrs Clarkson, May and Hammond have been playing in the States for a week or two, and we’ve managed to grab some video of the boys leaving their hotel in New York, together with s suitable set of supercars; a Mercedes SLS AMG, a Ferrari 458 Italia and a Porsche 911 GT3 RS.

If you ever watch Top Gear you’ll know who drives which. And that even the relatively mainstream SLS is a low to the ground supercar. And you’ll all probably remember the boys trying to extricate themselves from a hotel car park in Paris. Think of this as round two.

It seems the good burg(h)ers of New York City were busy resurfacing the street on which the boys parked their supercars overnight. So they were met with a street stripped of tarmac and with raised ironwork when it came time to depart. So stressed was Jezza he had to have a fag. Mercedes won’t be amused. Nor will the tobacco Nazis.

Oh, dear. Jeremy will be so cross for letting himself down.
