It seems Matt Le Blanc got a little more than he bargained for in the new series of Top Gear. 

In a new 90-second teaser for the BBC1 series, the former Friends star rescues a group of naked ramblers on the Isle of Man in his enormous Avtoros Shaman. 

The series is the first since Matt has taken the reins since lead presenter Chris Evans quit the show last year.

In one shot, a tuxedoed LeBlanc is cornered by police in Montenegro while another shows Matt, Chris Harris and Rory Reid endure an awkward BBC car insurance interview interwoven with clips from the new series.

The trio are quizzed by a strict risk assessor on prior motoring convictions, whether they will participate in competitive driving, and if they require fire cover.

Responding to the final question, LeBlanc tells the interviewer "no fire" before The Stig makes a timely entrance with a small flame burning his sleeve.

Tough going: The trio faced a tough interview in the trailer which will air on the channel on Saturday night 

The first trailer for the latest series of Top Gear features an array of supercars and extraordinary vehicles - from the Aston Martin DB11 to the Ferrari FXX K, to the Russian eight-wheeled Avtoros Shaman. 

Meanwhile, Reid is seen crashing his taxi in Kazakhstan and Harris drifts the Ferrari FXX K in Daytona, Florida.

The £2million track-only hyper hybrid car will go froms 0-62mph in under three seconds, and tops out at 217mph - so it's safe to say there's some content for serious petrol heads.

The trailer will premiere on BBC One on Saturday night ahead of Let It Shine.

Returning to BBC Two this spring, Top Gear has experienced a second line-up change in as many years with Chris Evans quitting the show after one series, saying he gave it his best shot but it was "not enough".

Following his resignation, Evans said LeBlanc is the "captain" that the show needs going forward and should remain on the show, dismissing reports that the pair's relationship had broken down amid flagging audience numbers.
