Top Gear: Patagonia Special is a two-part British television special which serves as a precursor to the 22nd season of the motoring magazine show Top Gear following Jeremy Clarkson, Richard Hammond and James May as they take three V8-engined sports cars on a gruelling 1,600-mile journey through the spectacular landscapes of Patagonia.
Along the way, they encounter rough roads, collapsed bridges, broken bones and a cow as they press onwards against the odds in a quest to reach the southernmost city in the world.
The usual habitat for a Porsche 928, a Lotus Esprit and a Ford Mustang is the civilized world of tarmac, but in the hands of Clarkson, May and Hammond, these three sports-bred machines face swamps, deserts, forests, beaches and ski slopes as they try to get to the southernmost city in the world, in order to stage an epic game of car soccer against Argentina.
Along the way there are broken bones, epic backdrops, mechanical calamities and cows, plus a climax that wasn't exactly the one that was expected.
