Jeremy Clarkson Says Report The Grand Tour Will End Not True

A report surfaced in The Daily Mail over the weekend claiming The Grand Tour will end following its third full season on Amazon Prime, but Jeremy Clarkson has now dispelled of the rumors.

The report claimed that Amazon had yet to sign on Clarkson and his co-stars, Richard Hammond and James May, for a fourth season of the show. Filming is currently underway on the third season, which should air later this year. Speaking to The Daily Star, Clarkson said the report is untrue. Additionally, the TV presenter tweeted out that it was “hilarious” anyone believed The Daily Mail’s initial report.

“All I will say for now is that, as usual, the reports are inaccurate,” he said.

What seemed to fuel these rumors is Amazon has yet to approach the show’s producers about a fourth season, leaving some employees wondering what may happen when filming for season three wraps up. Additionally, Clarkson recently took a job as a host of ITV’s Who Wants to be a Millionaire – but filming for that weeklong series will be brief, and won’t get in the way of any Grand Tour obligations.

The Grand Tour producer Andy Wilman said his team is “focusing on series three at the moment,” but didn’t comment on the rumors that the show won’t be renewed for a fourth season. It seems The Daily Mail heard Amazon had yet to approach The Grand Tour team about Season 4, and saw that, along with Clarkson’s new Millionaire gig, as evidence that The Grand Tour’s future may be in trouble. Thankfully that doesn’t appear to be the case, so fans of Clarkson, Hammond and May can rest easy for the time being.

Review: Saying Goodbye to the CC V6

For all its size and its global reach, Volkswagen is still, in many ways, a deeply human company. There was, for instance, the Bugatti Veyron an ego project if ever there was one. Then the purchase of Ducati, a move most called folly. And then there was the Phaeton, the Volkswagen that most folks can’t afford. Not only were these moves all strange, I’m sure that they made VW’s accountants furious. None of them made good business sense, but they were all deeply interesting and they all are evidence of the heart that beats at the center of VW. Among these follies is the CC, a car that everyone agrees is rakishly handsome, but that no one really wanted to buy. The car couldn’t last, but the world is brighter for its having been in it. With the approach debut of the Arteon, it seems like a good time to look back on its sadly departing predecessor. The version I drove, because I live in Canada, is a V6 Wolfsburg Edition, which apparently isn’t available in the States. Nor is the V6, not as...

T-Prime Makes World Premiere at Beijing

[ See image gallery at www.vwvortex.com ] The SUV segment is one of the fastest growing segments in the world and Volkswagen is showing the world how to do it. With the new T-Prime Concept GTE that was revealed today, the company is showing off all of the technology you can look for in its coming models. The T-Prime is a full-size hybrid SUV that can go up to 31 miles on a charge and gets 87 mpg. The hybrid power station is good for 375 hp and 516 lb/ft of torque and puts the power down with 4MOTION all wheel drive. It’ll get you up to 60 in six seconds. The concept’s real party piece, though, is its interior, which features exclusively touch, gesture, and voice controls. Everything from the infotainment, to the display, and even the gears are controlled by touch-screen. The T-Prime Concept GTE is bigger than the Touareg, and design elements are likely to find their way into all of their SUVs, of which there will be many. Volkswagen is also announcing that they expect to make an S...

Watch: The Transport Does a Whole Hell of a lot More than Transport

Petrolicious doesn’t only feature million-dollar classics, it also features the more generally neat, like this 1996 T4 Transporter that became Instagram famous and started and is starting an empire. Callum Creaser’s T4 started life as a panel van, but over the years it has become a homebrew camper van that has gone on adventures around the world. After posting about his adventures to Instagram, the diesel van gained a following and launched The Rolling Home, a series about other people’s small spaces and homey cars. Based on a 1.4-liter diesel with no ECU, Callum says his T4 is easy as pie to work on since information is widely available from sources like ours.
