'Epic' Race Coming in Next Season of 'Top Gear'

This should be a helluva thing: a race in Japan which pits the Bullet train against the Nissan GT-R.

Given that the Shinkansen (Bullet) trains have been tested up to 275 MPH, this is gonna be one crazy contest.

Yeah, the car's looks are pretty polarizing, but its performance envelope is staggering; besting Porsches, Ferraris, etc. My guess is they'll praise its performance, but trash it on its looks, finesse, etc.
