BBC has shared a new Top Gear teaser video, featuring Matt LeBlanc and an Ariel Nomad.

The revamped show will be back on BBC America this May and features an entirely new lineup of hosts now that Jeremy Clarkson, James May and Richard Hammond are in a new show on Amazon. The former Friends star will share screen time with Chris Evans, Sabine Schmitz and more, and it will be interesting to see if Top Gear can carry on without the original three hosts and if it can overcome all the drama and growing pains that have been reported.

It appears that in one of the new episodes, LeBlanc will put the Ariel Nomad, an off-road version of the Ariel Atom track car, to the test. It also looks like Top Gear producers may be drawing inspiration from Ken Block’s Gymkhana videos.

As for the show Clarkson, May and Hammond are working on for Amazon, it remains untitled and is expected to debut this fall.

    Verdict still out on how Top Gear is going to be when released ........... and the same feeling for how the original top gear members are going to fair with their new series Both maybe a flop could be a bearish bet
