And you aint gonna see the bobsled run against the Evo on Motor trend tv, car and driver or Final Gear...this is what makes TG the best auto show in the world
It looks like the boys are lossening up a bit too and becoming thier old selves again!
This ep was wayyyyyy funnier than last weeks
You could tell Richard still didnt like it that much "After 17 commercial breaks". It seemed like it though.. way over advertised.
DB9 = my dream car (along with Ford GT).

Just finished watching it
The DB9 was already my favorite current car, but now seeing (and hearing) it in action made it my all time favorite car. It is simply beautiful and amazing, even with all of those bugs splatted on it

They wouldn't let it go on the board as you cannot just go out and buy one, but it was top by a LONG way!

Woops! You are right, I didnt see the R. Yeah that makes a HUGE difference and I completely understand. 1:01 is awesome though! The Stig did a lap in a F1 car at just under 1min exactly.

AM is making a DBRS9 for the public. It's gonna have the carbon fiber body, but not as much HP.
Aston Martin DBR9
We couldn't resist. We simply had to send the Aston DBR9 round the track to see what lap time it would get. The DBR9 has already won a bunch of stuff, and run out of petrol at Le Mans. It also has 600bhp and weighs an entire tonne less than a normal DB9. So it wasn't exactly a surprise when it went round the track in 1.08.6. Of course, you can't buy a DBR9, so it's not allowed on the power laps board. There is some good news though - there is going to be a version you can buy, called the DBRS9. Its only got 500bhp but you do get a carbon-fibre body and it does 0-60 in less than 4 seconds. And all for a wallet-eating £170,000. Bargain.

Tey had the DBRS9 in hte studio right after they ran the dbr-9. I'm shocked they didn';t run it as it would have been a legal car for the powerlap board
