Video: meet the stars of Top Gear's 2023 Speed Week

Speed Week is Top Gear magazine's annual performance car of the year test. A gathering of the greatest fast cars from the last year, brought together in one place (this year it’s the Gotlandring track in Sweden, but it could be anywhere in the world) for a week of road and track testing, photography and video production and very little sleep. The goal is to separate the great from the merely good and, eventually, pick an overall winner.

This year, we have 15 contenders vying for the title, including the Porsche 911 GT3 RS, Lamborghini Huracan Sterrato, Porsche 911 Dakar, Honda Civic Type R, Ariel Atom 4R, Alpine A110 R, Lotus Emira I4, BMW M2, BMW M3 Touring, Hyundai Ioniq 5N, Abarth 500e, Toyota GR86, McLaren Artura, Polestar 2 BST Edition 270, and even a Formula E car!
