They also didn't use the full track. I'd guess the reasoning is that the large track has big straights and the stang would have been right on it...althought the lotus would have smakked it once the twisties hit.

I'd like to see the Atom against the exige on the full course.

 

Is there a link to YouTube/Putfile where one can watch the last episode online?

 

There is just over a 1,300 lb advantage for the Lotus. The Exige is 2,016 lbs, while the Mustang GT is 3,356 lbs (5-speed manual). When you saw the finish, where the camera was at the line, the Mustang didn't lose by all that much. These cars ARE really quick.

 

ya it definitely was pretty tight. I thought that was a pretty funny comparison though, cool idea. Basically take two completely opposite cars... one super light with a tiny engine and one big heavy car with a huge V8. I agree with you Doug about the longer track, probably woulda brought the stang a bit closer.
The cool wall is hilarious. Like they totally bash some cars you'd expect them to love, like the new XK, or the elise, or the Ford GT... its funny.
Still haven't finished watching the show though... gotta get on that.

 

I just watched the last 2 episodes last night. good stuff.

 

I like how the mustang is between cool and sub-zero on their wall.

 

just watched tonights show, the Koenigsegg was back......!

Also, see a Mercedes S Class as you have never seen one before.

another excellent show

 

The Koenigsegg wasn't just back, it did the best time ever on the Power Lap Times list!
And seeing Hammond and May driving around in JC's modified S-Class was the best laugh I've ever had watching TopGear!

Great episode, indeed.

 

WOW that Keeinisigiiggigigiggg..was fast!!! Ugly as all get out but fast!
Jeremys Livingroom on wheels was great!
