Three Frenchmen, one missing Stig, and all the chaos Japan never asked for.
The three hosts are assigned a new mission: if they want the producers to green-light another season, they must find The Stig who mysteriously disappeared on his trip to Japan.
Practical Effects
Real Japanese locations, real terrible decisions, real consequences.
Production
Genuinely gorgeous shots of Japan they definitely didn't deserve.
Writing
The loosest 'plot' in Top Gear history, and that's saying something.
Director
Stéphane Gillot
Trivia, insights & behind the scenes
The French Top Gear adaptation notoriously struggled with identity; this special was their desperate bid to prove they could handle original content rather than just copying Clarkson & co.
Shot during Japan's 2016 tourism boom, the special accidentally captures pre-Olympic Tokyo before the massive 2020 infrastructure changes.
