Prime Video announced that the show stems from Clarkson's frustration with modern vehicles' excessive technology. "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," the streaming service stated. The project will focus on the Jaguar F-Type V6S, which Clarkson considers a balance of analogue driving and modern practicality.
Clarkson will aim to create a car interior using Diddly Squat leather and wool carpets. Additionally, he will attempt to cultivate flax fiber to produce a flax composite, presented as a sustainable alternative to carbon fiber that has reportedly attracted interest from major car manufacturers.
He will be collaborating with car designer Ian Callum CBE, founder of the design and engineering firm CALLUM, who was instrumental in the original F-Type's design.
