How to watch Top Gear America 2021 online: stream new Top Gear USA on MotorTrend

Maintaining the winning formula of bromance, banter and breathtaking drives while adding some Stateside sauce, the latest incarnation of Top Gear America is out now on MotorTrend.  The 2021 US spinoff sees three new hosts in comedian Dax Shepard (The Ranch), The Daily Show's Rob Corddry, and British motoring journalist Jethro Bovingdon join famous masked mystery driver Stig behind the wheel, so read on as we explain how to watch Top Gear America online - wherever you are in the world right now, you can stream Top Gear USA today.

It's not the first time there's been an attempt at a American-flavoured version of the BBC motoring show which has become a worldwide phenomenon thanks to the combination of car culture chat, reviews and stunts first made famous by Jeremy Clarkson, Richard Hammond and James May.

The History Channel has a US-themed version of the show which ran for six season, while BBC America had a short-lived spin-off in 2017 that was fronted by William Fichtner, Tom Ford and Antron Brown.

Key to the success of the new show will be the chemistry between the three new hosts, but on paper at least, their petrolhead - or is that now gearhead? - credentials stand up.

Bovingdon has competed at the Nürburgring 24 hours three times, Shepherd is the proud owner of 17 cars including a ’67 Lincoln Continental, and ’94 Buick Roadmaster, while Corddry currently drives a Porsche 911 S and Datsun 280Z.

The series has been filmed primarily across the western half of the country, so expect plenty of off-roading adventures across vast US landscapes alongside  power slides, cool rides, and caustic reviews.

How to watch Top Gear America from outside your country

While you can sign up to MotorTrend and watch from anywhere in the world, some of its content is region blocked outside of the US and it's currently not clear if Top Gear America falls under those restrictions - it's certainly not being promoted on the UK version of the site the way it's being highlighted on the American equivalent.
