Because we say nice things about them (unlike many of our journalistic brethren) the team at TopGear.com have sent us some very nice preview images from the new series.

There are more great images at the official TopGear.com website.

If case you’ve missed our tweets and earlier story, the show returns to BBC HD and BBC Two this Sunday.

In the opening episode, the trio head to Italy for a supercar shootout featuring the Lamborghini Aventador, the McLaren MP4-12C and the Noble M600.

Their trip starts at the incredible Nardo test track, a facility so massive it is visible from space, before heading north for a nerve wracking drive around the centre of Rome.

The journey concludes at the legendary Imola circuit, a track challenging enough to have embarrassed many an F1 driver, with a timed challenge against the incredible skills of The Stig.



Back in the studio the presenters look forward to some car highlights of 2012 and will.i.am takes the wheel of the Reasonably Priced Car.

The team have also sent this great video of their celebratory caravan firework , marking their 10m Facebook ‘likes’
