The Grand Tour hosts Jeremy Clarkson, Richard Hammond and James May have handed over the keys, with new presenters Francis Bourgeois, James Engelsman and Thomas Holland ready to try their hand at one of the biggest car shows on TV.
In a brand new trailer, the TikTok star (and Mashable 101 alum) and YouTube Throttle House hosts embark on their first Grand Tour, and there's more than sweet burnouts in store. You'll spy an appearance from Formula 1 champ Jenson Button, some kind of challenge to reconstruct a chopped up school bus, and what looks like a Chevrolet Corvette C8 ZR1, Hennessey Venom F5, and Ford Mustang GTD ready for the content creators to test drive.
"Absolute hellfire!" Bourgeois gleefully exclaims in the driver's seat, with 2,031 horsepower behind him. As one commenter on the YouTube video says, "I can't believe I'm saying this but I think this has a chance to work."
The Grand Tour returns to Prime Video on Sept. 6.
