Top Gear Series 22 teaser released; Stig's vacation - Video

Top Gear fans have many reasons to rejoice! First, it was the release of The Perfect Roadtrip Part 2 last month, followed by the much talked about Patagonia special which aired just yesterday. Now this, the first teaser of Series 22 of the most watched Auto Show on the planet.

The video starts with The Stig preparing for his vacation, and arrives at a Rent-A-Car parking lot of an airport which is filled with VW Polos. However, The Stig's ride turns out to be a nice yellow Lamborghini Aventador! The next few scenes show The Stig and the Aventador in tourist hotspots like the Leaning Tower of Pisa, an African park, Sydney's Opera House and let's not forget The Taj Mahal.

A suitably vacationed Stig then returns his rental car (albeit in a not-so-pristine condition) and heads back to his natural habitat at the Top Gear test track. "The holiday is over, its time to get back to work", is accompanied by a drifting Jaguar F-Type R Coupe.

Top Gear have not announced the starting date for the series. However, if the video indeed has a hidden message, The Stig's passport has a date saying '31 April'. This could be a hint to the start date of the series.
