In their last adventure, viewers can expect to see Jeremy, Richard, and James ignore Mr Wilman’s instructions and head to Zimbabwe in three cars they’ve always wanted to own.
The trio will embark on a stunning road trip through beautiful, challenging landscapes in a Lancia Montecarlo, a Ford Capri 3-litre, and a Triumph Stag before finishing the episode with an emotional ending on a strangely familiar island.
The Grand Tour: One For The Road will launch exclusively on Prime Video in over 240 countries on 13 September.
