Top Gear Host Chris Harris Fronts New BBC America Motoring Show

NEW YORK: Top Gear‘s Chris Harris is bringing his hit YouTube series to BBC America, with the motoring show Chris Harris on Cars to debut July 11.

Chris Harris on Cars spotlights the best vehicles on sale and explores their technical complexities. Among the cars profiled are Porsche 911 GT3 RS, McLaren 650S, Aston Martin GT12, Ferrari 458 GT and Ferrari 458 Spider, among others. Launched on YouTube in 2014, Chris Harris on Cars has amassed over a quarter of a million subscribers and the content has been viewed over 20 million times.

The series is distributed by BBC Worldwide.

Sarah Barnett, president of BBC America, said, “Chris Harris on Cars is mischievous, insightful and downright entertaining; we think BBCA viewers will love it.”

Harris commented, “If wanton tire destruction, powerslides and continuous drooling over the world’s fastest and most expensive road racers like the Porsche 911 GT3RS or the Aston Martin GT12 is your thing— you could do considerably worse than watch me put them through their respective paces on track and road on BBC America.”
