According to Wheels24, it looks like the first episode will feature the hyper-car test between the Ferrari LaFerrari, McLaren P1 and the Porsche 918. The trio had planned to do the test before they had to cut ties with Top Gear.
Amazon have put aside £160m for the three series, meaning each individual episode will have a budget of £4.5m.
