Evans, 49, a self-admitted auto enthusiast with an individual accumulation of vintage vehicles, has marked a three-year arrangement to front BBC2’s most-watched project.

Accentuating that Evans will front an “all-new” line up in its declaration, the BBC adequately precluded an arrival to the show for Clarkson’s previous co-has, James May and Richard Hammond.

The fate of Top Gear, which routinely pulls in a group of people in abundance of 5 million, was tossed into uncertainty after Clarkson, 55, was let go for punching a maker amid a line over providing food.

Evans, who at present has the BBC Radio 2 breakfast show and the One Show, said: “I’m excited, Top Gear is my most loved system ever.

“Made by a large group of splendid personalities who love autos and see how to make the hugely confused appear to be fun, nonchalant and easy, when truth be told its definitely not, and that is the virtuoso of Top Gear’s worldwide achievement.

“I guarantee I will do all that I can to regard what has gone ahead before and take the show forward.”

Evans affirmed on Twitter he will keep on facilitating his radio breakfast show – yet made no notice of the One Show.

“Chris is an immense fanatic of Top Gear and has extraordinary admiration for the specialty and hard working attitude of one of the best generation groups on the planet,” Shillingshaw said. “He knows the marvelous meticulousness it takes to make a solitary succession of Top Gear, not to mention an entire arrangement. He is now brimming with splendid thoughts and I can hardly wait for him to begin.”

Production on the new series of Top Gear is set to begin in the coming weeks.
