Jeremy Clarkson and James May plan to undertake a Grand Tour across Italy, driving an Aston Martin DB11 and a Rolls-Royce Dawn respectively. Their plans are interrupted by Richard Hammond arriving uninvited in a Dodge Challenger SRT Hellcat. The tour starts at the Palio di Siena, passing through the Piazza dei Signori, Vicenza and ending up in the Venetian Lagoon. However, the scenic cultural tour is constantly interrupted by Hammond's loud Hellcat with his revving, his constant need to refuel, and his insistence on performing donuts whenever possible. They eventually manage to ditch him and end up in Venice, but Hammond had somehow caught up and as he was doing donuts in a speedboat, Clarkson and May end up in the harbor.
