That was hell of a nice car, as above, really hope all goes wel for the soldiers. It was nice to see Hammond doing a proper feature instead of just trying to be funny.

My Passat at work is due for replacement soon. I'll put that down on the list of cars I'd like to replace it

What a bit of kit though

Was a good episode I thought. Electric cars feature was done fairly well. Lambo was ok. Wasn't totally sold. From some angles I loved it, but from others I hated it!

That I'd like to see, bearing in mind it can pull 217 (probably just over 200 at Brunters) and 0-60 in 2.9 your cos would have a job, still be good though.

I wish Richard Hammond was in a Lambo that tried to kill him, every minute, of every day... such an irritating little squirt these days.

The Aventador looked great (but not mind blowing) and from what I saw of the interior it looked lovely but very Audi-ish in there.. apart from the gauges in the speedo binnacle, which looked brilliant IMO.


Cheers,
Grant

Given that Rod's can do 206 at Brunters, and soon should be doing a lot more, I'd put good money on rod smoking it at Brunters. Rod may even be able to match the top speed too if they both have a decent length of road to play on.

Still rather have the Lambo, but think far too many people aren't aware of just how silly fast Rod's car is to 200 mph... sure Rod could tell us which cars would go quicker at Brunters - mabye the Veyron? Any others?

Are you for real?

At these levels of power times are recorded beginnng at 0-100mph. Rod's car was pulling a ton in less than seven seconds (recorded on the old pre engine failure set up in 2005) that Lambo would be in the late 6's to early 7's to a ton.

On his current set up it will be at 200 in seven tenths of a mile, the Lambo maybe 175. Remember, when they claim 'it will do 217mph', these are computer calculated figures, and would need a three mile straight to achieve that speed, like the one they tested the Veyron on Top Gear. It may just get to 200 at Brunters with the right driver (with big enough balls)
