Top gear
It’s hard to imagine a more authoritative show than Top Gear. The first issues of the British television project were published in 1977. For a long time the program was broadcast in the format of a television magazine. The cycle restarted only at the beginning of the two thousandth, it was after this that the audience could enjoy the Top gear, which we are familiar with now: with humor and excellent texts. The creators of the project do not focus only on test drives and technical reports of cars, there is a huge amount of genuine British humor and ruthless practical jokes.
Of course, to imagine a program without Jeremy Clarkson, Richard Hammond and James May is simply impossible. And it’s worth mentioning that as a result of regular viewing of this show, one can seriously get carried away with cars. According to official statistics, the transmission audience is about 350 million people! By the way, in 2015, the BBC channel announced the dismissal of Clarkson, followed by his colleagues. In May 2016, a new episode with new presenters was released.
Counting cars
The name of this program is more familiar to the Russian audience as “Turn-around”. It is worth saying that domestic adaptations of various foreign series and television shows are a real nightmare. However, there are pleasant linguistic exceptions, one of them is Counting Cars.
Russian translators were able to convey the main idea of ​​the project as brilliantly and succinctly as possible. What does the "Turn-around" tell about? The main character is a guy from the bohemian Las Vegas. His name is Danny Prince - this cool name suits him perfectly. Danny is a real creator in the auto world, it is difficult to imagine such a task that he could not complete. Next to him is always his team, these people can effortlessly reinvent the great 1967 Pontiac GTO muscle car!
Pimp my ride
It is difficult to imagine a person who has not heard anything about the TV show "Wheelbarrow for pumping." This truly legendary show of universal significance was once a kind of guide - not only to the world of auto-tuning, but also to the universe of urban culture. To understand this, just recall the original title of this program, which led the rapper Xzibit, - Pimp My Ride.
The thing is that pimping can be called an integral part of hip-hop. Do not believe? Remember the joint composition of Snoop Dogg and Dr. Dre called Still Dre. Most of the attention in the video for this track was taken by lowriders, crazy jumping along the road. This filigree craft became the basis of this transmission about cars. Everything is quite simple: Xzibit takes an incredibly boring car and, together with his team, turns it into a crazy monster. By the way, sometimes transformations and bells and whistles are so crazy that the television project has become the basis for numerous memes.
Fast n 'loud
A television project called “Fast and Loud” will tell about cars everything that any more or less advanced user should know. Auto economics, incredible designs and quite complex engineering tasks - all this awaits the viewer of this project. However, the main part of the show can be called a challenge to your talent. There are only two main characters - this is Richard Rowling, who is well versed in motors, and his partner Aaron Kaufman is a truly crazy mechanic who never seeks easy ways. Together, the guys drive around Texas to find used or just old cars that have long been corroded by rust. Why do they do it? They like to give cars a new life.

Another genius in the field of automotive modifications is Chip Foose. He is convinced that there is never much auto tuning. However, a project called “Cool Tuning” is not a boring alteration in a car workshop, but rather a real mini-detective. The secret to the popularity of the show lies in the fact that the owner of the machine, which is modified during the transfer, has no idea what is happening.
Chip and his team must take possession of the car so that no one suspects something is wrong. After that, Foose and his mechanics redo the car and enjoy the reaction of its owner! Frankly, the participants in this show about cars do not complain, because all of Chip’s design adventures lead to only one result - he has truly exclusive cars!
