Three middle-aged men strap rockets to a Reliant Robin. What could possibly go wrong?
Trains have a place in this world, but no on this DVD, thanks. 'Rockets' it is. Rockets are far more interesting than trains, anyway, especially when their boosters have Reliant Robins strapped to them. That's just one of three challenge films you'll enjoy on this free DVD. You'll also watch a Eurofighter Typhoon blast a mile straight up in a race against a Veyron, and see Jeremy hacking an Espace to bits with a buzz saw. Perfect.
Practical Effects
Real rockets. Real Reliant Robin. Real insurance nightmare.
Editing
Slo-mo explosions cut to smug presenter faces
Stunts
Eurofighter Typhoon vs Bugatti Veyron actual race
Trivia, insights & behind the scenes
This special was originally a free DVD giveaway with The Sunday Times, making it one of the most widely distributed pieces of automotive chaos in British history.
The Reliant Robin rocket segment became so iconic it essentially defined 'Top Gear challenge' DNA for the next decade—absurd vehicle + dangerous modification + presenter terror.
