This is just what every pedestrian, cyclist and sedan owner has been waiting for; more monster (stop using full-size to describe these) trucks occupying our streets. Existing examples can’t be entered without the obligatory side step addition just so normal sized individuals can get behind the wheel.
The Grand Tour as we know it is ending. There's only one feature-length special left from Jeremy Clarkson, Richard Hammond, and James May and then their off to do other separate projects, leaving automotive television behind. However, like Dr. Frankenstein reviving an unwilling corpse, it seems Amazon Prime, isn't willing to letThe Grand Tour die and is instead interested in bringing it back but with a new trio of hosts, according to Broadcast.
Jeremy Clarkson, Richard Hammond, and James May made the move to Amazon years ago, after a dramatic end to their version of Top Gear on the BBC. After more than two decades on the air together, the trio moved to Amazon to start The Grand Tour, but there’s only one special left before they ride off into the sunset. Top Gear continued on with other hosts, but never achieved the chemistry of the original crew, but it now seems a production company will try the same thing with The Grand Tour.
In 2007, Top Gear’s Jeremy Clarkson, James May, and Richard Hammond embarked on a trip from Nunavut, Canada to the North Magnetic Pole. The special edition was called the Polar Challenge and the team had a pair of 2007 Toyota Hilux Double Cab 3.0-liter diesels heavily modified by Icelandic company Arctic Trucks. A few years later, James May piloted one of these to Iceland’s Eyjafallajökull volcano during the eruption.
There are two more episodes of The Grand Tour on the horizon: one set in Mauritania, which should drop on Amazon Prime Video next month, and another in Zimbabwe, release date to be announced. After that, it sounds like it's over for the iconic trio of Jeremy Clarkson, Richard Hammond, and James May, at least in the business of making extravagant car-themed travel entertainment. If you're wondering why they've called it quits now, Clarkson's left little room for ambiguity in a recent interview.
Tata Motors is evolving its 1.2L petrol engine and at the same time, is developing a brand new 1.5L petrol engine. These engines are said to make a lot of power, be cleaner in combustion and be more frugal with better thermal efficiency. Tata Altroz Racer is now spotted emission testing with a more powerful tune than Altroz i-Turbo.
It's been a minute since Clarkson, Hammond, and May visited the snowy north in their Scandi Flick Grand Tour special. Those who caught the adventure will remember Richard Hammond's blue Subaru WRX STI. For the rest of you, Hammond drove a blue Subaru WRX STI for the adventure. Shocking stuff, this.
The old Top Gear trio of Jeremy Clarkson, Richard Hammond, and James May will be hitting your screen as the hosts of The Grand Tour for the final time in 2024. The two final episodes have now been filmed, taking place in Mauritania and Zimbabwe, where the trio we've grown to love will close a chapter that's been three decades in the making.
