Meanwhile, May goes on a rant about what is wrong with recent Aston Martins before seeing if the Aston Martin Virage is any different, and comedian Ross Noble sets out to make a fast lap in the Kia. | LineColor = D6B871 }}{{Episode list/sublist|Top Gear (series 17) | EpisodeNumber = 135 | EpisodeNumber2 = 3 | Aux1 = McLaren MP4-12C • Range Rover Evoque | Aux2 = Examine toughness of the Range Rover Evoque in Las Vegas • Second-hand bargains for the price of the Nissan Pixo (Mercedes CL600 • BMW 850Ci) | Aux3 = Sebastian Vettel | OriginalAirDate = {{Start date|2011|7|10|df=y}} | Viewers = 6.55{{#tag:ref|5.41 million on BBC Two, 1.14 million on BBC HD.|group=nb}} | ShortSummary = Clarkson and Hammond see if there is a good second-hand bargain for the same price as a Nissan Pixo - Clarkson believes it might be a nine-year-old Mercedes CL600 he bought, while Hammond seeks to prove the seventeen-year-old BMW 850Ci he purchased is the one.

After heading to Albania and failing to knock a test house with the standard machinery, the trio decide to tackle the challenge with a range of heavy-duty, surplus military vehicles - a FV434 armoured recovery vehicle, a FV180 Combat Engineer Tractor (CET), and an Armtrac 400 mine-clearing vehicle. Elsewhere, the boys get nostalgic for 1970s action/adventure series and attempt to create an opening sequence for a new one, involving a new and updated version of the classic Jensen Interceptor, while Clarkson tests out Lotus' new purpose-built Formula 1-inspired track car, the T125, and rock star and charity ambassador, Bob Geldof, is in the reasonably priced car. Note: Because of the MotoGP 2011 live coverage, the original transmission was on a tight schedule and thus did not end with credits. In the original transmission, Clarkson is warned he is taking too long to end the show, at which point it prematurely ends when he asks "What are they (the BBC) going to do? Cut us off-...", with him responding to this with "Oh, they have!" seconds after it happens. In repeats, the credits are shown after this line. | LineColor = D6B871 }}{{Episode list/sublist|Top Gear (series 17) | EpisodeNumber = 138 | EpisodeNumber2 = 6 | Aux1 = Lamborghini Aventador | Aux2 = Electric cars for the seaside: (Nissan Leaf • Peugeot iOn) • Extraordinary rally team of amputee military veterans | Aux3 = Louis Walsh • Race2Recovery Team • Ben Collins | OriginalAirDate = {{Start date|2011|7|31|df=y}} | Viewers = 6.76{{#tag:ref|5.68 million on BBC Two, 1.08 million on BBC HD.|group=nb}} | ShortSummary = Clarkson and May go on a trip to the seaside, and take with them two new electrically powered cars, the Nissan Leaf and Peugeot iOn, to see how practical they are, while the long-awaited successor of the Murcielago - the Lamborghini Aventador - has arrived on the track to be given a thorough test by Hammond, and Louis Walsh sees how fast he is in the reasonably priced car. Finally, Hammond heads out to a cross-country rally event, to meet with the Race2Recovery Team - an extraordinary rally team, consisting entirely of ex-military amputees, who are taking part for the first time. In his interviews with some of the members, he learns how they are coping with their disabilities, using racing as a cure to their mental traumas, before giving them some help in their preparation for tackling the gruelling Dakar Rally, in the form of former Stig, Ben Collins. | LineColor = D6B871 }} }} Criticism and Controversy{{Main article|Top Gear controversies}}Electric Cars Review filmFollowing the broadcast of the final episode of Series 17, a scene from the Electric Cars Review film was criticised by a disabled motorist charity, in which Jeremy Clarkson and James May were shown parking their electric cars into two disabled parking spaces. In response to this, the executive producer Andy Wilman defended the presenters in an online blog, revealing that both had expressed deep concerns it would create a disrespectful impression, but only used the spaces when the car park's owner gave permission, adding that there had been three other disabled parking spaces available, before apologising to any viewers that had been upset by the scene.[3] In a later scene in the film, Clarkson was shown getting people to help him push the electric Nissan Leaf up a street after it had run out of charge. This sparked controversy when Nissan discovered from the onboard data logging in the car, that its charge had been run down to only 40% capacity before the "test drive", which soon drew in criticism from the company, electric car enthusiasts, newspapers, and celebrities in response to the show's view on electric cars.[4] However, Andy Wilman rejected claims that the show was misleading viewers about the Leaf's charge and range, and stood by the consumer points that were raised in the film.[3] NotesThe viewing figures shown in the Episode Table above, are a combination of the figures from the BBC Two broadcast and the BBC HD broadcast. 1. ^Transmission – BBC Top Gear Top Gear Series 17: starts 26 June « 2. ^{{cite web|url=http://www.barb.co.uk/whats-new/weekly-top-10?|title=Weekly Top 10 Programmes|publisher=Broadcasters' Audience Research Board}} 3. ^1 {{cite news | url=https://www.theguardian.com/media/2011/aug/02/top-gear-disabled-parking-row?INTCMP=ILCNETTXT3487 | work=The Guardian | first=Tara | last=Conlan | title=Top Gear sorry for disabled parking row | date=2 August 2011 | location=London}} 4. ^{{cite news | url=http://green.autoblog.com/2011/08/02/top-gear-airs-controversial-nissan-leaf-segment-responds-to-critics | work=autobloggreen | first=Eric | last=Loveday | title=Top Gear airs controversial Nissan Leaf segment, responds to critics | date=2 August 2011}} References{{reflist}}{{Top Gear}}{{Italic title}}{{DEFAULTSORT:Top Gear (series 17)}} 2 : 2011 British television seasons|Top Gear seasons |
