Top Gear Patagonia Special

Part one of two. A gruelling trip to the world's southernmost city

The first half of a two-part special, the filming of which caused controversy in Argentina because of a registration plate that drew links to the Falklands War. Jeremy Clarkson, Richard Hammond and James May take three used V8-engined sports cars on a gruelling road trip covering 1,600 miles through Patagonia. Their chosen vehicles are the Porsche 928, Lotus Esprit and Ford Mustang, which are subjected to rigours beyond the scope of their original designs - from tackling swamps and crossing deserts to navigating forests, beaches and ski slopes. Their destination is Ushuaia, the world's southernmost city, where they hope to stage a game of car football against Argentina
