Default Top Gear Tests 918
Part 6 is 918 test.

The top exhausts are epic. Imagine being behind one when the flames go out like they do on film.

Brilliant piece of video . Made up for the rest of the show .
The noise of that engine screaming to over 9k is just awesome , I loved the "boom" followed by fire it is just the nuts .

When I was a kid I dreamed of a 911SC, today I own a 996TT and dream of the 918. Maybe someday

Agreed - look and sound awesome! The comments made about the 918 and P1 pretty much echo WTdoom views.

the blue flame from the exhaust looks like post production CGI though....a very Top Gear thing to do...

I can't get the above to play, but I did find this segment just on the 918

Great video, the flames must be CGI it just can not be that good, otherwise following will be as great as driving.

I just exchanged an email with Daniel and he said that he believes the Blue Flames are NOT CG but real.
