Top Gear track record smashed

Featured Replies

Not sure if this is old news or a repost but the record has been broken by nearly 5 seconds!

Full story (inc TG not being willing to test it themselves) here.

Could it be that 'their' test driver is just better than the Stig???

That's one explanation, for sure. Looking at the article and the list, I wonder whether the Top Gear team have "overlooked" it because unlike the other cars, it doesn't appear to have space for luggage or even a passenger seat?

loved the US site - all those built up Chevy engines. I used to be heavily into those, once upon a time.....

9.9 for 1/4 mile........I'd have it in the twisties, hmmmmmaybe not.

I see it even has reasonable "in gear" times too ;)

30-70mph 1.8 secs

Does the Ultima have any luggage space?

There are purpose made alloy sealed luggage containers either side of the cockpit accessible from inside the car, space behind the seats and in the doors. Storage is also available behind the access panel under the front section.

Trips abroad are no problem and neither is the weekly supermarket expedition.

Poor show on the top gear boys for not doing this themselves :thumbdwn:.

I've read about that car before, it's built on the same industrial estate as the company that make our electrical design software - I was soooooo tempted to bunk off last time I went there for training and see if I could have a look around the factory :D.

Simply amazing performance though :cool:

In a head to head race it would lap a Ferrari Enzo every 12 Laps:eek::eek:

Wonder if it can be Re-mapped:rolleyes::rofl:

I recckon my EVO on need for speed carbon could have it Though:rofl::rofl::rofl:

My old boss at AmD had an Ultima with a 4.2 biTurbo Audi V8 in it (before the RS6 was about aswell).

the in-car video is pretty good , i don't think the Top Gear team have ever shown a forward facing full lap of the track

awesome sound aswell :thumbup:

Just read the TG track has been mapped for GranTurismo when it comes out on PS3 whenever it is.

My Octy does it eventually in 4 seconds.
