Top Gear 25 sees Matt LeBlanc, Chris Harris, Rory Reid and The Stig return, with guest appearances from Sabine Schmitz and Eddie Jordan.
Six hour-long episodes see the team tackling the big issues: building the world's fastest tractor, tackling America's Wild West in shiny new V8 sports cars, attempting to land a NASA research plane in America's ultimate muscle car, and more.
Filmed in locations including Japan, USA, Portugal, Italy and, er, just outside of Guildford, expect Top Gear's trademark array of photography, state-of-the-art supercars and celebrity guests.
In the first episode of the new season, Matt, Chris and Rory take a motorsports road trip across America's Wild West in the latest V8 sports cars from McLaren, Jaguar and Ford.
As every schoolkid knows, 2018 marks the 116th anniversary of the V8, the most enduring sports car engine of them all. So to mark this important moment, the lads each chose their ultimate all-round V8 sports car, and headed to Utah's Wild West for a series of challenges.
Rory and Chris both went British, with a Jaguar F-Type SVR and McLaren 570GT respectively. Matt went American, affordable and everyman in the shape of a blue-collar Ford Mustang. Albeit one with 850 horsepower.
Weapons selected, the trio set off on a motorsport-inspired pilgrimage across the States, a pilgrimage including oval track racing, a visit to the Bonneville Salt Flats...and a moonshine run to the border. Being hotly pursued by Officer Kenneth Block. Yee, and indeed, haw.
Oh, and Rob Brydon tackles the Top Gear track in the Reasonably Fast Car.
