The episode showcased a race between presenters Jeremy Clarkson, Richard Hammond and James May to the 2006 magnetic north pole.

The idea was originally proposed by the BBC to coincide with the Polar Challenge race, an annual event where competitors race to the 1996 location of the magnetic north pole by trekking and cross-country skiing. The attempt would be shown as a one-off Top Gear special in 2007. As part of the challenge, the car would be racing against a dog sled, the traditional means of transport around the Arctic. Top Gear presenters James May and Jeremy Clarkson would drive the car, and Richard Hammond traveled with the dog sled, accompanied by driver Matty McNair.

To date, this is the only episode of Top Gear that has been broadcast in high definition.

The vehicles used in the challenge were two 2006 Toyota Hilux double cab 3.0l diesel pickup trucks and one Toyota Land Cruiser 120. A trailer on 38" tyres was also used to carry part of the equipment and fuel. One Hilux was used by the presenters and was fitted with camera and sound recording equipment, the other two were used by the film crew, two driver/repair experts and one polar expert. All vehicles underwent the same extensive modifications to make them suitable for the Arctic conditions. The major modifications to the trucks included:

* The standard wheels and tyres were replaced with bespoke Arctic Trucks wheels and 38" studded snow tyres. The tyres were able to run at pressures as low as 3psi for better flotation over snow. The tyres are called Arctic Trucks AT405.
* The wheel arches were raised and extended to protect the larger tyres
* The standard 3.0-litre D-4D engine was modified to cope with the very low temperatures. Heaters were added to increase fuel and coolant temperature, a large heavy-duty battery was fitted and the air intake was modified.
* A 90 litre auxiliary fuel tank was fitted
* The gearing ratio was lowered to 1/4.88
* Two Winches that could be fitted either to the front or rear of each of the vehicles were carried, in case they got stuck in the snow

The Hilux was chosen because it had proven itself to be exceptionally durable. The car had featured in various Top Gear challenges, being floated out to sea, set on fire, and finally being placed on top of a tower block which was then demolished. After all this, the Hilux was still able to be driven away. The Hilux was therefore the obvious choice for this test of endurance.
