BRENTWOOD, England – Can a 216 mph (347 km/h) Ford GT supercar get from New York’s Central Park to Niagara Falls faster than a plane?

British TV trio Jeremy Clarkson, Richard Hammond and James May attempt to solve this conundrum in the latest episode of The Grand Tour, which is available to view on Amazon Prime Video from tomorrow (Friday). One of the most challenging aspects was filming the GT driving through Manhattan during rush hour.

Ford’s Emma Bergg watched the race unfold, and while she cannot say who won, she does hint at some of the fun viewers can expect to see.

“In this episode, Jeremy, driving the Ford GT, races James and Richard who are both travelling together because Richard is still recovering from his big accident in Switzerland. The really interesting part is that it is an actual race – the two separate film crews don’t communicate with one another and it really does go down to the wire.”
