Stig drove that car hard! Too bad the video fails right as they are about to reveal the time.

neanicu

Yes...unfortunately. I'll try to update the link as it becomes available...
But except the last minute of the review where they only reveal the track time,the rest is all there and it's looking good!
The entire episode can be watched for those interested...

Wikipedia says it came in 2nd (all-time) at 01:14.3. Pretty amazing.

I love this car. Saw it in person a few times at Sector111 and Spring Mountain Racetrack. It's on my shopping list.

Stig was working that puppy hard. Brilliant car.

TRAKCAR

its easy to see that the Stig was having fun.. but fauk $150K?

that's a lot of money for a track car only indeed.
However for those only driving to the track and back this car is a wet dream no brainer.

Nizer

Well they are getting licensed. There are a lot of lonely mountain roads begging for a car like this.....just not in FL.

True 100%

Yes, but there I could move but there is a tax barrier...

What did you guys think about the Ferrari F12 at the end of the show?
Where's Rad?

The F12 is awesome. It has a 46/54 weight distribution, My Fiat with no fuel on-board has a 45/55 weight distribution, and with a full load of fuel moves to 44/56. Essentially the F12 has the balance of a rear mid-engine car.

It is priced just a little higher to what a Scuderia sold 4 years ago, but comes with one of the best V12 in business right now (same engine used by the Fiat LaLa). 730Hp, a close ratio 7-speed tranny.

Unfortunately, V12 Fiats have horrible resale.

amazing car, i liked it better before the price increase but honestly feel it's worth about 100-110k USD... at that price i would seriously consider one..

300lbs lighter than my atom and the same horsepower... and with downforce and aerodynamic.. it would be a blast to drive.

my favorite part is how you can fly abroad and have them mold the seat to your body (heaven forbid i gain some weight.. and they then adjust the pedal box to your height as well..

1 seat means fun driving 24/7 without anyone asking for a ride or bitching during the ride.
