'Amazon Top Gear' news: 'The Grand Tour' crew in Namibia for premiere episode?

"The Grand Tour," the new motoring show being dubbed Amazon "Top Gear," will introduce a brand new format, where hosts Jeremy Clarkson, James May and Richard Hammond travel the world with a big tent with them.

Amazon is not ready to reveal yet where the original "Top Gear" trio will set out during the premiere of "The Grand Tour," but it appears to be all set up already.

On Twitter, Clarkson hinted that Amazon "Top Gear" is bringing them first to a desert. He teased this with a clever tweet that surely had fans guessing.

"I'd love to name the first location for the Grand Tour. But by the time we are ready to tell everyone, we will be in a desert. No wifi," he tweeted.

The post had many fans throwing in guesses on what desert Clarkson was referring to. Majority of the Twitter folks concluded that Amazon "Top Gear" will be visiting Namibia in southwest Africa, a place rich with deserts and cheetahs. If "desert" is the biggest takeaway from Clarkson's clue, then Namibia is the likeliest candidate for the Amazon "Top Gear" folks, knowing that it is home to the oldest desert in the world— Namib desert. Looking at the Instagram account of Clarkson, it appears that fans actually got it right. "The Grand Tour" host recently shared a photo of a view from their location in Angola, hinting that they headed there right after their visit to Namibia.

It certainly makes sense for Clarkson and the group to pick Namibia as their first destination, especially if "The Grand Tour" wants to go big on its premiere. It is also one way of showing they mean business.

The veteran motoring journalist also teased days before that one of the destinations of "The Grand Tour" crew will be Yorkshire, since it is the hometown of the original "Top Gear" hosts.

"The Grand Tour" premieres on Amazon this fall.
