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.

2018 Lamborghini Aventador S Roadster Review

“Supercars just don’t excite me anymore.” These words, spoken to me over a month ago by another journalist, friend, and (so-called) enthusiast were echoing in my head for far too long, but they’ve finally been drowned out. Drowned out by the wail of a naturally aspirated 6.5-liter V12 engine mounted in the middle of the new Lamborghini Aventador S Roadster. My friend’s point is that back in the good old days, there was a crop of supercars that captured the imagination with amazing style, sounds, performance, and more. Today, it seems like everything is capable of supercar performance, with large luxury sedans outdoing some of the best and most dedicated teams of car nuts, while former pillars of automotive excellence are suddenly pumping out family-friendly SUVs. Beyond that, another league of supercars, dubbed hypercars have cropped up with hybrid gas-electric powertrains that make magical things happen quickly, but at the cost of the acoustic drama, visual flair, and engag...

Project SportWagen: Going Stage 2 with APR

    When we last left you, the humble little SportWagen was fresh from the development process with our friends at AWE Tuning, sporting a new downpipe, exhaust and intake, allowing things to breathe a bit easier.  The car sounded great, but there was no getting around the fact that our wagon was still quite, well, slow.   While we realize that nothing we do to the Golf SportWagen at this point will make it a race car, we still felt compelled to do something .  To put it bluntly, we had a fever, and the only cure was more power. Flash forward a few hours, and we found ourselves at Waterfest, staring down APR’s palatial spread and the numerous tuned vehicles surrounding it.  Earlier in the year, APR had hinted to us that their 1.8 TSI files would be quite impressive, and based on what they were able to do with the 2.0 TSI found in the new GTI and our time in their Golf R, we knew it’d be worth the wait.  So with this in mind, we lined our G...

Project Golf SportWagen- Intro

I’ve never really been one for SUVs and crossovers.  The current offerings aren’t the body-on-frame, go-anywhere specialty tools I remember from my youth, and what they lack in capability, they also lack in on-road performance. The current crop isn’t terribly good at handling or being efficient, which in my opinion are major components of our ideal driving experience.  So when it comes to space or utility, I usually look for something of the wagon variety- and it seems that I’m not alone. We hit quite a few shows around the east coast each summer, and we see modified Jetta SportWagens at nearly every event. Even amongst common consumers, these cars are highly sought-after. They don’t depreciate much, making even early Mk 5 2.5 versions expensive in comparison to other Jettas or Golfs of the same vintage. This year, Volkswagen launched their latest SportWagen, which is now billed as a Golf.  In many ways, this latest SportWagen is the best yet and it has certai...
