Here’s the trailer for Top Gear, Season 13:

If you’re a car fan and a latecomer to Top Gear, here’s what it’s about:

“Top Gear” takes extraordinary and ordinary cars to the limit and beyond to find out if they’re half as good as manufacturers claim. Full of extreme stunts, challenges, celebrity appearances and weekly features, “Top Gear” is far more than a car show; you’ll find no boring stats or impenetrable conversations about camshafts here. It’s the sharp wit of hosts Jeremy Clarkson, Richard Hammond and James May that make it more than just a motor show.

Season 13 of Top Gear premieres on BBC AMERICA Monday, January 25th at 8/7C. All episodes will be available for iTunes download on Tuesdays, day after broadcast.

And here’s a preview of the coming season:

The world’s biggest car show is back for a 13th series. Hot on the heels of their epic challenge in Vietnam, which saw Jeremy, Richard and James travel the entire length of the country in just eight days, the boys are no less ambitious.. Richard goes to Abu Dhabi to test the new Lambo Murcielago LP640-4 SV; the boys buy three £1,500 rear-drive sports cars and somehow find themselves entered in a terrifying French ice race; film star Sienna Miller, King of Twitter Stephen Fry and chat show host Jay Leno are among the stars taking part in ‘Star in a Reasonably Priced Car’ and in a television-first, the mysterious Stig takes off his helmet to reveal just who he really is…
