There's now a Russian version of our favourite car programme.

Watch it here:

Episode 1:

Episode 2:

Don't worry, there are English subtitles!

Cheers,

Russia likes taking an existing product, coping it piece by piece, then claiming it as their own.

They didn't exactly "take" it. Top Gear Russia (both the magazine and the TV show) are produced under licence from the BBC. Same as with Top Gear Australia and the presumably now aborted US version.

Eh, it's kind of annoying listening to the Russian the whole time. :mask:
