It's been a while since we've had anything new from former Top Gear hosts Jeremy Clarkson, Richard Hammond and James May. We've got a little over a month before the trio's new Amazon show, The Grand Tour, premieres November 18th, but finally we have a real look at what they've been up to.
Unsurprisingly, The Grand Tour doesn't look like a radical departure from Top Gear, but as the name would suggest, there's a much greater focus on road trips. That's a good thing because the best segments on Top Gear in its former state were the epic adventures–not tired old bits like Star in a Reasonably Priced Car.
Production value is as high as you'd expect from this trio, and there are a ton of lustworthy cars featured here. There's clips of a comparison test between the LaFerrari, McLaren P1, and Porsche 918, an Alfa Romeo 4C Spider in Egypt, an Aston Martin DB11, and a Dodge Challenger Hellcat. Of course, there's also a selection of oddballs and beaters to contrast with the high-dollar machinery.
The trailer also shows Clarkson, Hammond, and May up to their usual, destructive antics, which will no doubt please those disappointed by the re-booted, Chris Evans-led Top Gear.
The Grand Tour premieres on Amazon Prime Video 18 November, and we're eagerly waiting.
