The final special episode of The Grand Tour is set to release soon on Amazon Prime Video, which will see Jeremy Clarkson, James May and Richard Hammond head off on one final adventure.
Titled 'One For The Road' the episode will see the trio head to Zimbabwe in three cars they've always wanted to own.
This will be a Lancia Montecarlo, a Ford Capri 3-litre, and a Triumph Stag for Clarkson, Hammond and May respectively.
Overall it will encompass "a stunning road trip through beautiful and sometimes challenging landscapes leading to an emotional ending on a strangely familiar island".
The concept for the episode echoes 2007's Top Gear special in Botswana, with Clarkson saying: "The premise of the original Botswana film was: why, when you leave London and move to Surrey, do you always buy yourself a 4x4? You don’t need one.
"To prove this, we decided to drive three perfectly ordinary cars across Botswana."
He continued: "I've always liked the premise that cars are much tougher than you think they are. They can take so much punishment; people don't believe how much their car can take before it expires.
"So, we did a similar thing this time: the three that we took to Zimbabwe were, on the face of it, ridiculous, but as you can see in the film, they survive. The concept was just driving cars we liked."
When will The Grand Tour: One For The Road be released in the UK?
The Grand Tour: One For The Road is set to release on Amazon Prime Video in the UK on Friday, September 13.
The programme officially aired its last series in 2021 but has been followed by three specials with 'A Scandi Flick' in September 2022, Eurocrash in June 2023 and Sand Job in February this year.
The Grand Tour premiered back in November 2016 having been conceived in the wake of Clarkson, May and Hammond departing from Top Gear on the BBC.

It followed a format similar to Top Gear's, with a focus on car reviews, challenges, races, and studio segments.
Discussing the show ending, Clarkson said: "I'm not saying this in a derogatory way by any means, but James has the emotions of a stone. He just doesn't do emotions, so there were no tears from him.
"Hammond, yes. I was surprisingly unemotional in a weird way because I can see James and Hammond any time I want to, they're only a phone call away, and I'm sure we will. And I've done enough of the travel, I was worn out by it."
The Grand Tour: One For The Road launches on Prime Video on Friday, September 13.
