Season 1:
In the 80's, posters of the Porsche 911, Lamborghini Countach and DeLorean adorned many a children's room. In Top Gear Norway's premiere program, Petter, Fredric and Esben decide to see if the poster cars also work on the road. At the racetrack, Fredric and The Stig test whether the new Bullitt version of the classic Ford Mustang lives up to the original, and we offer two celebrity guests in a relatively cheap car: the actors Emilie Skolmen and Jon Øigarden.
Finally here, the biggest electric cars with the extra equipment all Norwegians have been waiting for - trailer hitch! The guys in Top Gear Norway decide to test the joys of electric camping life on Norway's steepest roads in the North-West. At the same time, Fredric travels to Japan to track down a legendary car that only goes by the name Godzilla, while Petter tests the Porsche 911 Carrera S on track in Norway. Celebrity guest in a relatively cheap car: Musician and host Fridtjof Nilsen.
It's time to state it once and for all: What is the fastest of car, boat or train if you are going from Lake Mjøsa in the south to Lake Mjøsa in the north? And for the first time in Top Gear Norway's history, a celebrity without a license will drive a relatively cheap car on the race track. A guy who also happens to have a Porsche Cayenne standing in the garage, namely OnklP! And Esben is testing the BMW M5 Competition on the track.
Petter, Fredric and Esben have been criticized by the producers for being too little family-friendly in their choice of test cars. That's why they test drive the family car and the legend Volvo 940 - on a rally track in Sweden. At Rudskogen, Fredric tests the car he hopes will be his new race car: Toyota Supra. And a guest in a relatively cheap car is black metal vocalist, wine connoisseur and Porsche enthusiast, Sigurd Wongraven.
A viewer named Kjell Inge wonders which luxury SUV he will choose on his next beach holiday to Denmark. Esben, Fredric and Petter take the job of finding out if Bentley Bentayga, Lamborghini Urus or Mercedes G63 AMG is the right choice. Celebrity guest in a relatively cheap car is author and Italian sports car enthusiast Tom Egeland. And Petter finds out if the new Aston Martin Vantage will be a new Bond car.
The Norwegian Top Gear guys find out that the best way to get to both the amusement park and Christmas shopping in one day in Copenhagen, is to borrow their Utility Task Vehicles - or quad bikes. They also manage a real race, and to invent "erotic motorsport". Celebrity guests in a relatively cheap car: Hasse Hope and Magnus Devold. Esben test Jaguar's new XE SV Project 8 on track.
Esben and Petter bring two angry GTI variants of the Renault Megane and Ford Focus brands to check the top speed on the Gotland Ring. 190 centimeters tall Fredric is sent to Japan to test the microcar Hyundai Mira e:S. Celebrity guest in a relatively cheap car is ice warrior Erik Follestad. Fredric tests the Mercedes-AMG GT 63 S 4Matic.
Esben, Fredric and Petter go to Beitostølen to check the slopes and snow depth, each with a four-wheel drive from Ford, Land Rover and Suzuki. Celebrity guest in a relatively cheap car is Dum Dum Boys vocalist and car mechanic Prepple Houmb. And then the big question is - can the Audi R8 catch up with the other supercars?
