1996 Jeremy Clarkson Supercar Drag Race - TVR Cerbera

You were wondering how long it would take me to get to the escort Cosworth. Well, we're finally here, but just to demonstrate what I mean by quickly sitting back now and watching the Cozy stick. Lotus reaches the quarter mile post. 1.7 seconds faster, which puts it in the Premier League, a league for cars that can go from 0 to 60 in less than five seconds. Let's start with the Aston Martin Vantage. It now weighs about twice as much as a Golf GTI, so that's to be expected. have twice the power no, it has four times as much weighs the same as a planet, like the Starship Enterprise For years, since the days when Brylcreem was a popular fashion accessory, people have argued loudly and pointed a lot with the finger on the The 911 understeers, oversteers, does it really matter?

What we've all forgotten is that the 911 Turbo and this latest incarnation in particular are fast enough to rearrange your internal organs. Thanks, the engine of this Lotus Esprit may seem something out of the ordinary. a vacuum cleaner but it's a twin-turbo V8 so the Esprit has just hit puberty it will shave the next surprise surprises the Dodge Viper now as expected Uncle Sam's answer to the European hypercar has an engine that is not measured in cubic centimeters or cubic inches you measure it in acres now you're thinking what the hell is this doing here. I mean, he only has a two-liter Vauxhall engine and he actually does, but that two-liter Vauxhall engine is basically the same as them. in touring cars and remember the Caterham weighs about the same as a J-cloth so the big Bruiser from Blackpool, yours truly TVR, this car is fast enough to create its own weather so I What we have here are six of the creepiest. cars in the world and a two mile track.

I will feel a

coming. What we're going to do is fly them around the track for a mile to find the fastest production car in the world and before everyone starts saying, what's up? the x or the y or the Z I must explain that we do not have McLaren F1 or jaguar xj220 or Ferrari F50 because they are limited edition Ultra cars without Ferrari 512 because when Ferrari found out about the competition they refused to play and without Lamborghini Diablo. Since I already

d with a lead and wasted a lot of time answering the burning, fingers-in-your-ears question, what is the fastest production car in the world, we decided to go for a

drag

strip style race to eliminate the driving skill of The equation.

As far as possible this would be a horsepower battle and as speed increases with aerodynamics which would make money smart said the Caterham would take early leave but in the mid ranges where it was needed brave power, the Vantage would be good. sounds lonely, the big Aston had already won, wow, but the smart money was wrong despite the light weight of the catering, its small engine was no match for this lot, the Porsche was ahead, but look at that TBR, the Vantage 2 was fighting to stay miles away from Blackpool. 2,300 horsepower rocket here tearing up the Leicestershire countryside and in the middle distance it's still TVR Porsche right in front of the lotus here's the TV is going to do it can it really do a standing mine in less than 30 seconds close too close tested abroad This Server, I remember thinking it was fast, I mean indecently amazing and distorted face, but I had no idea it could do this, almost the cheapest car here turned out to be the fastest foreign one, I don't know.
