Top Gear TV series is back for its 25th season

 Beaming Matt LeBlanc gets behind the wheel and tests out a flying car in action-packed trailer for Top Gear's new series

Top Gear has teased its upcoming series with a new trailer featuring flying cars, martial arts and what appears to be a demolition derby.

Friends star Matt LeBlanc will also lead the team in building the world's fastest tractor, tackling America's Wild West in a brand new V8 sports cars and attempting to land a Nasa research plane in a muscle car. 


LeBlanc - joined by Chris Harris, Rory Reid and The Stig - travelled to Japan, the US, Italy and Guildford, Surrey, for the BBC2 motoring show's 25th series.

The 60-second trailer sees LeBlanc belly slap a sumo wrestler on one bumpy drive, while Reid crashes into a fruit and veg stand on another high speed venture.

Harris labels the demolition derby-esque event the 'worst thing I've ever done' before being sent tumbling through a partition wall by another driver.


Teasing Top Gear's return, the BBC told fans to expect stunning photography, state-of-the-art supercars and celebrity guests in the six hour-long episodes.

There is no release date yet for the 25th series, but viewers expect it to launch no later than the spring.


Former host Chris Evans may have only lasted one season, but ratings have improved under the helm of LeBlanc - who said this series would be a step away from the Clarkson era. 

'It will be closer to what it was last year versus the season before,' he explained.

'I think we've tried to broaden the demographic of the show, try to make it not lose the sort of petrol-head nature of it, but maybe open it up to people who aren't so petrol-heady.

'Expand the comedy, try to have bigger, broader films, but it will be more of the same in the sense it starts with the car.'
