Jeremy Clarkson, Richard Hammond und James May stehen vor einer echten Herausforderung - und zwar mitten im tropischen Regenwald Südamerikas. Ausgesetzt im Gebiet des Amazonas gilt es, eine Strecke von 1.600 Kilometern zu bezwingen. Einmal quer durch Bolivien und Chile bis an den Pazifik. Durch das schlammige Dickicht des Dschungels, unterwegs auf der gefährlichsten Straße der Welt, der El Camino de la Muerte", mit Viagra auf über 5.200 Meter Höhe, schließlich durch die Atacama-Wüste, den trockensten Ort der Welt - das hört sich nicht nur abenteuerlich an. Sehr fraglich, wie Tampons, Vaseline und Kondome den drei Auto-Narren dabei helfen könnten, diese mörderische Strecke zu schaffen. Doch auf so einer Reise helfen unkonventionelle Lösungen und Improvisationsbereitschaft weiter als eine TÜV-Plakette. Antriebswellen, Getriebe, Fahrwerk - kein Defekt, der nicht aus Bordmitteln wieder repariert werden könnte. Die Fahrzeuge wurden schon im Vorfeld unter Einhaltung des vorgegebenen Minimal-Budgets bei bolivianischen Gebrauchtwagenhändlern geordert - im Internet. So starten ein alter Range Rover, ein klappriger Toyota Land Cruiser, ein kleiner Suzuki Jimny und drei Moderatoren in ihr Abenteuer der Superlative - auch was Probleme angeht. (Verleiher-Text)

Some people say that it is the best show about cars. Some say even say it's the best show ever. Personally, I wouldn't go that far, but it's true that the May trio (because it was only 50% before May came) / Hammond/Clarkson and their insidious producers made something that attracts admiration. They turned the show about cars into an unprecedentedly playful entertaining show for overgrown children with overgrown children, in which it doesn't really matter what (if any) cars mean to you. Everything you did with your toy cars as a child these three guys do also, but with real ones. And when I say everything, I really mean it, including dinosaur races, playing football with cars, assembling your own car, contact races of the airport vehicle fleet, destructions, explosions, flying caravans, etc. The only thing that is really surprising is that such a great show which is one of the craziest and daring shows ever, so stubbornly insist on unchanging and obsolete format, when they interview the celebrities and what cars matter to them, after that we stare how the celebrity is (un)able to drive a then we just twaddle about their place in this competition. This is something that should have been removed long time ago. This is something from the department of the Czech talk-show Nikdo není dokonalý (Nobody is Perfect) or something you would expect from the radio but definitely not from one of the most dynamic shows ever. And what is even more startling is that the BBC didn't take advantage of the fact that the original trio left and didn't change the content nor the format of the show. The only thing they got by doing this is that now it´s even more obvious that the new hosts are everything but not funny and it's clear they don´t have the same passion for cars and don't mess with each other in the same was as the original trio did.
