In the end we decided we'll show a lovely and mostly tasteful film celebrating our achievements over the last ten years."Some of the most-loved aspects of the Top Gear TV show will be recreated for exhibition guests, including the famous Cool Wall.An array of some of the world's most expensive and high-performance vehicles are also set to be on show for visitors, such as the Ariel Atom V8, Aston Martin V12 Vantage Roadster, Aston Martin Vanquish, Ferrari 458, Koenigsegg CCX and Lamborghini Aventador.However, the live stunts in 2012 could be a significant draw, with Clarkson taking on The Stig with help from the armed forces and a new world record attempt by the Top Gear Stunt Team.Fans keen to head along to the show are therefore encouraged to book their tickets as soon as possible, as it is likely to be a sell-out.Speak to the modified car insurance team at Performance Direct for an expert, professional service and a choice of cover from the UK's leading specialist insurance underwriters.Posted by Jack Smith"},{"@context":"https:\/\/schema.org\/","@type":"BreadcrumbList","itemListElement":[{"@type":"ListItem","position":1,"name":"Latest News","item":"https:\/\/smart-motoring.com\/latest-news\/#breadcrumbitem"},{"@type":"ListItem","position":2,"name":"Cars","item":"https:\/\/smart-motoring.com\/latest-news\/\/cars\/#breadcrumbitem"},{"@type":"ListItem","position":3,"name":"Modified Cars","item":"https:\/\/smart-motoring.com\/latest-news\/\/cars\/\/modified-cars\/#breadcrumbitem"},{"@type":"ListItem","position":4,"name":"New Top Gear arena show announced","item":"https:\/\/smart-motoring.com\/latest-news\/cars\/modified-cars\/new-top-gear-arena-show-announced\/#breadcrumbitem"}]}]
