Episode Description

Hammond once again investigates whether motorsport expertise and professional touring car drivers can finally settle the question of which taxi in the world is truly the best. Contenders in this global test include the British Hackney carriage, a Volkswagen Beetle taxi from Mexico, the Ford Crown Victoria yellow cab from the United States, a Hindustan Ambassador taxi from India, a Mercedes-Benz E-Class taxi from Germany, a Toyota Hiace taxi from South Africa, and a Lincoln Town Car stretch limousine taxi from Russia. Elsewhere in the episode, Clarkson evaluates the track performance of the BAC Mono and tests the Ferrari F12 Berlinetta on the roads of Hertfordshire. May pays tribute to the soon-to-close BBC Television Centre by staging a race through the building between parkour runners and motorcycle trials champion Dougie Lampkin. The episode also features film director Ron Howard, who discusses the background of Rush before setting a lap time in the Reasonably Priced Car.
