A little bit of muscle: Richard Hammond cruises through London in 155mph Ford Mustang GT for Amazon Prime show... as Top Gear announces new complete line-up
He and his co-presenters, Jeremy Clarkson and James May, might be outnumbered when it comes to the number of presenters they're going up against when it comes to former show, Top Gear.
But if Richard Hammond was worried about battling for viewer ratings with the BBC when the trios new Amazon Prime shows hits screens, he didn't show it when he cruised through London on Thursday in the impressive new Ford Mustang
Clearly delighted to be behind the wheel of the brand-new 155mph muscle car, the 46-year-old presenter couldn't keep a smile off his face as he filmed a segment in the sporty motor.

Obviously sticking to their guns when it comes to the format of their new car show, Richard (affectionately known by fans as Hamster) and the crew chose to role the car through central London in a grand-standing way.
Accompanied by a police motorbike escort the crew filmed Richard revving and roaring his way through Westminster, and past the iconic Houses of Parliament.
Testing out the 2016 GT Coupe model, the presenter was treated to all the grunt and roar that the car's 5.0litre V8 engine could unleash.

Moving on: His appearance came just hours after former show Top Gear announced a brand new seven-person line-up to replace Hammond and his colleagues Jeremy Clarkson and James May
Climbing into the car, which is the first generation of the iconic muscle car to come in right-hand drive, Richard could barely contain his glee.
Sporting his familiar long dark hair in a sweeping side-parting, the Birmingham-born presenter also sported a groomed beard.
And it's little wonder that Richard was so delighted, as the presenter has never been shy of admitting his 'love for the Stang' - especially on Top Gear.

An eye-grabbing spectacle: Accompanied by a police motorbike escort the crew filmed Richard revving and roaring his way through Westminster, and past the iconic Houses of Parliament
However it looked as though the presenter was more than pleased with his latest test-drive, as according to AutoExpress.co.uk the car packs quite the punch.
Clearly keen to bring the spirit of its' petrol-guzzling, tire-burning predecessor's to European shores, the car has an astonishing 412bhp - while it squeals from 0-62mph in a blistering 4.8 seconds.
Leaving passers-by and the crew in no doubt what his feelings were towards the new GT model, Richard flashed a thumbs-up from the driving seat at one-point.
And if the announcement of the new-look Top Gear's new cast - which was announced only hours before hand - had affected him in anyway, the popular presenter didn't let it show.
