VIDEO: OPENING SCENE TO THE GRAND TOUR BECOMES THE MOST EXPENSIVE EVER SEEN ON TV!

THE £2.5million opening scene for Jeremy Clarkson’s new car show is the most expensive ever seen on the small screen.

Shot in the Californian desert, it features 150 cars, 2,000 “petrolheads”, acrobats, stilt-walkers and six jet planes.

Clarkson, 56, and sidekicks Richard Hammond and James May sped across the Lucerne Valley in customised red, white and blue Ford Mustangs.

The trio were followed by £20million worth of cars, including a Bugatti Veyron and Rolls-Royce.

A source said: “Nothing remotely like it has been seen before.”
