15 Reasons You Should Be Excited About "The Grand Tour" Season 2 Trailer

They've taken the best parts from Season 1 and turbocharged them.

1. The show is bringing us to more gorgeous and exotic locations.

Switzerland – such a beautiful country. Don’t bring up the money laundering allegations, though, it makes them furious.

2. They've found new, grueling ways to test the hosts in addition to the vehicles.

Richard Hammond was nearly killed making Season 2. So close. Still, there’s always Season 3 to complete the job.

3. And we've got plenty of driving challenges that are...ill-advised? Insane? ENTERTAINING!

Literally driving down an icy mountain. Under no circumstances should you try this. And neither should they. It’s like a punishment you get if you’re found guilty of treason in North Korea.

4. Seriously, some of the new stunts are bordering on lunatic.

All three presenters inside a flying car. It’s like a remake of Chitty Chitty Bang Bang where no women or children were allowed to be involved.

5. Clarkson, Hammond, and May have returned – and they're being their usual selves.

Tag yourself.

6. Clarkson is working very hard.

You’d say he had delusions of grandeur, but take that away from Clarkson and there’s nothing left. Nothing. He’d be just a denim-clad husk.

7. Hammond is doing what he does best: crashing.

This isn’t the worst one. Not by a long chalk. Not. Even. Close.

8. And May? May is... Well, May is coping with each day as it comes.

How has he not gone postal after all this time? He has to snap soon. One day, that red mist will finally come down, refuse to lift and…well, no Season 3.

9. This season, they've even challenged themselves to drive some crap cars.

These look like commuter cars for cannibalistic road warriors living in a post-apocalyptic desert. And Hammond looks like a minor bad guy who won’t survive beyond the first quarter of an hour. Which, given his track record on the show, is well within the realms of possibility.

10. There's also going to be plenty of senseless destruction...

The best sort of destruction: the type that targets people who own private jets.

11. ...pushing cars to their absolute limits...

Your dad literally bursts into tears of sorrow when he watches this GIF.

12. ...and wheelies. There will definitely be wheelies.

Clarkson’s stashed his duty-free in the back. Amazing the thing can move at all.

13. We can also expect to see some of the latest and greatest supercars on earth.

This white one looks...really space-age environmental chic. Like a really top-of-the-line washer-dryer.

14. Including what looks like the fastest and most powerful petrol production car of all time...

Don’t look at the rock. That was free. Look at the expensive car.

15. Not to mention things that are a bit more interesting than cars.

What’s this? Oh, just some new and terrifying military tank that one day will be battling aliens to save humanity, I expect.

Three presenters. Dozens of challenges. And more fire, explosions, crashes, and terrified swearing than ever before. Tune in to Amazon Prime Video for Season 2 of The Grand Tour on 8 December 2017.
