The Top 41 moments were not just limited to car-based segments but also included some of the most hilarious and memorable Top Gear stunts, such as the time the presenters tried to build their own electric car and the infamous Reliant Robin space shuttle challenge.

The challenge pitted the Porsche 911 GT2 RS against the Lotus Exige Sport 410, and the Ford GT against the McLaren 570S.

Another new challenge was the introduction of the 'Stig's cousins.' Several different drivers appeared on the show, each dressed up as the Stig and competing against each other in various races, including a drag race and a time trial.
