See What Happens When Top Gear Goes Stateside

Tonight sees the return of a television behemoth - but in an all new setting.

Top Gear USA make its debut on BBC3 tonight, invading our shores with plenty of high octane, American-made muscle car action.

Looking at the trailer it seems we can expect all the things we love about the home-grown version of Top Gear, but with a liberal helping of American attitude.

The burn-outs, the breathtaking speeds, the ridiculous challenges, all washed down with a generous helping of three odd-looking blokes taking the mickey out of each other.

However, in this incarnation of the Top Gear brand, they are joined by high-fives, whooping and names like Ford, Chevrolet and Cadillac in place of the, more EU-friendly, Ferrari, Lamborghini and Pagani.

Will a state side version of Britain's favourite motoring show drive audiences to BBC Three? 

We'll all have to tune in at 7pm tonight to see if Tanner Foust, Adam Ferrara and Rutledge Wood can fill the shoes of Messrs Clarkson, Hammond, May and The Stig.
