Jeremy Clarkson to make car using his own farm materials in one-off Prime special

“Frustrated by modern motoring’s endless beeps, bongs and nanny-state technology, Jeremy has decided that if he wants a “new” car, he won’t buy one – he’ll build one,” Prime announced.In the programme, Clarkson will attempt to recreate a Jaguar F-Type V6S, focusing on ensuring the design delivers three crucial attributes: style, luxury and performance.Alongside incorporating Diddly leather for the interior and wool carpets, he will try to grow a crop of flax fibre and process it into a flax-composite – a sustainable alternative to traditional carbon fibre.Clarkson has also recruited car designer Ian Callum, founder of design and engineering firm CALLUM and the man who created both the original F-Type and the Aston Martin Vanquish, to assist him with the ambitious project.Jeremy Clarkson will attempt to ‘grow’ a car using farm materials Prime VideoThe new show will air in 2027.
