After a spectacular start of first ever season of The Grand Tour hosted by former BBC Top Gear trio Jeremy Clarkson, Richard Hammond and James May, Amazon Prime has recently dropped the season 2's trailer.

The 35-second trailer shows the trio motoring through various countries including Mozambique, the UK and Switzerland. The trailer has been released after Hammond's car burst into flame almost a month ago while filming the new series. Hence, it is not confirmed that the airing of the season 2 will start as per the schedule in October.

The good news is that the trailer confirms a lot of cars will be featured in the new series. Despite the trailer being very short, it gives a glimpse of the 10 cars to be featured.

The 2-litre, 16-valve Fiat twin shaft supercharged engine in the Lancia 037 developed 310hp of peak power and debuted at the Costa Smeralda Rally in April in 1982.

The trailer also shows a tall host (most probably Clarkson) driving a green coloured Jaguar XJ6 on ice. The first Jaguar XJ was launched in 1968 and the XJ designation has been used for Jaguar flagship models ever since. In 1970, the XJ6 got a 4.2-litre Borg-Warner Model 12 cylinder unit. In 1972 the option of a long wheelbase version, providing a modest increase in leg room for passengers in the back, became available.

This is the car that Hammond crashed during the filming. The Rimac Concept One is a two-seat high-performance electric car designed and manufactured in Croatia by Rimac Automobili. With an output of 1224hp, acceleration time of just 2.5 seconds from 0 to 97kmph and a price on request, Concept One has been described as the world's first electric supercar.

The massive power figures let the Chiron sprint 0 to 100kmph time in mere 2.5 seconds. 0 to 200kmph speed can be achieved in 6.5 seconds and to reach 300kmph, Chiron needs just 13.6 seconds. The Chiron will accelerate till the top speed of 420kmph.
