[Intro]
(Fast classic British rock guitar riff, energetic drum roll, driving bassline kicks in)

[Verse 1]
The Cotswolds tent is standing proud against the winter rain
The three presenters take the stage to talk of cars again
Tonight we celebrate the past, the British racing green
The finest luxury machines that England’s ever seen

[Verse 2]
But first we hit the Eboladrome, the track is sleek and grey
Jeremy handles a beast that wants to come and play
The Lancia Stratos replica, a wedge of pure desire
With a roaring Ferrari engine spitting out some yellow fire

[Verse 3]
It’s short and wide and dangerous, it spins around the bend
The short wheelbase is lethal, making tires meet their end
Jeremy is laughing loud, his hair is flying high
As he drifts the retro monster beneath the cloudy sky

[Verse 4]
Now Richard and James May are heading on a trip
To look at Jaguar's history and test the modern grip
They want to see if old designs can match the brand new line
Or if the modern corporate world has ruined the design

[Verse 5]
Richard chooses heritage, a classic from the old
A beautiful saloon car that is worth its weight in gold
The Jaguar Mk Two, with leather and with wood
To drive around the countryside like a wealthy gentleman should

[Verse 6]
But James arrives in luxury, a modern sleek design
A brand new Jaguar XJR that stays upon the line
With supercharged V8 power and computers in the chest
He thinks his modern cruiser will easily win the test

[Verse 7]
They drive through classic villages, the rain is pouring down
Two generations of a brand moving through the town
Richard is shifting gears by hand, the steering wheel is tight
While James is sitting in a lounge, relaxed and out of sight

[Verse 8]
Jeremy joins the conversation back inside the tent
He thinks that both their choices are completely time misspent
A Jaguar should be loud and mean, a proper racing car
Built to conquer racetracks and travel very far

[Verse 9]
He brings the Project Eight along, the wild four-door sedan
The most aggressive Jaguar built by any modern man
With track suspension fitted and a massive wing in back
It looks like a street fighter ready for attack

[Verse 10]
They take the cars out to a track to settle up the score
Where rubber meets the asphalt and the big V8s just roar
The classic Mk Two is leaning hard in every single turn
While Richard fights the steering wheel, making his tires burn

[Verse 11]
The modern XJR is fast, it glides across the straight
But the heavy weight of luxury is slowing down its gait
Then Clarkson blasts right past them with a terrifying scream
The Project Eight is flying like a petrolhead’s wild dream

[Verse 12]
It sets a crazy lap time on the leader-board wall
Proving that the track design can easily rule them all
But James and Richard argue that the comfort has been lost
And making cars so brutal comes at a terrible high cost

[Verse 13]
Back inside the Cotswolds tent, the crowd is laughing loud
At the ridiculous Jaguar debate that split the country crowd
They talk about the old days when the villains drove the brand
The coolest bank-robbery cars in all of British land

[Verse 14]
In Celebrity Face-Off, the battle lines are clear
Two world-class actors walk out with a roaring cheer
Luke Evans and Kiefer Sutherland are back upon the screen
To see who is the fastest star the track has ever seen

[Verse 15]
They push the little driving car around the gravel bend
Fighting for the top spot until the very end
The leaderboard is updating, the times are very tight
Beneath the studio spotlights shining through the night

[Verse 16]
The eighth song is slowing down, the Jaguar films are past
The Project Eight and Stratos proved that history was fast
The Grand Tour truck is waiting, the engines roar out loud
On to the next adventure, keeping petrolheads so proud

[Verse 17]
So play the British rock tonight and let the guitars scream
The high-speed Jaguar special was a beautiful fast dream
Three presenters bickering about a racing line
The grandest tour is rolling on, everything is looking fine

[Outro]
(Screaming classic rock guitar solo, fast drum finale crashing, sound of a supercharged engine revving high, final loud chord fading out)
