The new show by the trio of Top Gear finally has a name: The Grand Tour

The new show on Amazon properties engines but with three of the most famous faces in the industry finally has a name. Transmission, "driven" by Jeremy Clarkson, James May and Richard Hammond, will be called The Grand Tour. The three ex-Top Gear to the BBC signed for Bezos giant last July with the promise of a return in the world of entertainment based on the automotive industry.

We have long known that the program will debut on Prime Video from next autumn, with at least three seasons to be supplied over the years. But until now it lacked the name of the new adventure of the three famous British presenters, name of which the three have often joked in recent months. The Grand Tour can be reduced to TGT, or GR, an acronym that does not then differ much from that of the previous show presented by the trio.

The similarities with the BBC program do not end here: Amazon has indeed revealed that the three will travel to the world, as indeed is also the name implies, and will use in each case of an audience of spectators. Everything just as they did on the old format of Top Gear, only that the public will not be made to sit inside the traditional hangars of Top Gear, the rest not really very mobile, but in a more easily transportable tent in various places.

Meanwhile the BBC is trying to develop a new format for Top Gear in order to make people forget the old and distinctive style of the previous three presenters. At the helm, or rather behind the wheel, there will be Chris Evans (not that of Captain America). The new season will begin in the coming weeks with a new set of co-presenters, including the Friends star Matt LeBlanc and Eddie Jordan expert, celebrated name of the motor sport world.
