The Grand Tour’s Jeremy Clarkson has revealed his shocking ‘main reason’ for ending the record-breaking Amazon Prime show.
Not mincing his words in finale One For The Road, which was released today, the motoring expert, 64, mulled over the contemporary move towards electric vehicles.
Jeremy branded them as ‘s**t’ and said that he could not enjoy them because he saw them as ‘white goods.’
As they headed for Zimbabwe for their final adventure, Jeremy gushed over his Lancia Montecarlo, particularly the engine’s soothing sounds.
‘Some popping and banging nicely from the back,’ he confessed on camera. ‘Love that sound.’

In a furious rant during the show finale, which was released today, the motoring expert, 64, mulled over the contemporary move towards electric vehicles (pictured with fellow show hosts James May (M) and Richard Hammond)
But his mood quickly shifted gears when thinking about the more conscious move to electric vehicles.
‘And all you lot growing up today with your electric cars, you’re never going to hear it,’ he asserted.
As the trend leans towards perceived greener electric options, Jeremy fears losing traction with Prime Video’s eco-conscious younger audience.
‘There are lots of reasons why we’re jacking this show in, but, for me, one of the main ones is I’m simply not interested in electric cars,’ he declared.
‘They are just white goods, they’re washing machines, they’re microwave ovens.
‘You can’t review those, you can’t enjoy them. They are just s**t.’
In the UK and many other country across the globe, the choice to move away from the traditional motor to electric is because electric cars produce zero tailpipe emissions, helping to reduce air pollution and combat climate change.

Traditional petrol vehicles emit carbon dioxide (CO2) and other harmful pollutants, contributing to global warming and poor air quality.
Jeremy’s admission comes as his fellow motor host Richard Hammond said he is getting ready to ‘wake up and cry every day’ after bidding goodbye to his partnership with Jeremy and James May.
Speaking on Monday’s This Morning ahead of the final episode, Richard admitted he was ‘struggling to get his head around’ the end.
Joining hosts Cat Deeley and Ben Shephard, he recalled his career on Top Gear and said: ‘It went berserk and we didn’t know it would go out of control. It feels really weird I can’t get my head round it.
‘I’ve been doing this for 22 years because of that partnership. I’ll be forever grateful to Jeremy and James.’
Richard continued: ‘It’s not sunk in yet. I reckon six months from now I’ll wake up every morning and cry.
‘When I got the job, I was 31, I burst out crying when they called. I said to my wife, ‘this is going to change everything,’ and it did.’

Prime Video has today unveiled the final episode of The Grand Tour: One For The Road.
Jeremy, 64, Richard, 54, and James, 61, unite for one last time and sharing their last moments together after gracing television screens as a trio for the last 22 years.
In their last adventure, viewers see Jeremy, Richard, and James ignore Mr Wilman’s instructions and head to Zimbabwe in three cars they’ve always wanted to own.
The trio embark on a stunning road trip through beautiful, challenging landscapes in a Lancia Montecarlo, a Ford Capri 3-litre, and a Triumph Stag before finishing the episode with an emotional ending on a strangely familiar island.
