Filming is underway on Jeremy Clarkson, Richard Hammond and James May’s still untitled Amazon Prime car show, and the trio are putting three supercars head-to-head.

They all posted photos from the same shoot, standing in front of a Ferrari LaFerrari, a McLaren P1, and a Porsche 918 - a bit of a middle finger to the BBC as this was a race rumoured to be featuring in Top Gear before the infamous ‘fracas’.

“With a skeleton crew, filming for Amazon Prime's new motoring programme has begun,” Clarkson wrote, with Hammond adding: “The band is back together and it feels brilliant."

May echoed their sentiments, writing: “Great first day at work. I can't stop staring.”

It isn’t clear why the show is currently operating with a mere “skeleton crew”, given the eye-watering budget it’s been granted by Amazon Prime.

A title and teaser trailer for the show can probably be expected soon, the former being rumoured to be the very frank ‘Gear Knobs’, which copyright was filed for by Clarkson’s lawyers.

With Top Gear producer Andy Wilman on board, the show is set to continue down the irreverent, adventure-based route that the trio carved on Top Gear, with shoots set to take place around the world.
