Question on Top Gear for the TopGearophiles

[Dyldo]

hi Dubbers

I have no idea if i will get any joy here, but i gotta ask cause its driving me nuts.

Basically I am after a scene or segment where someone (clarkson or may) is driving a freakishly good sounding car and abolutely flogging it. It was a DSG/SMG/eGear/paddle-shift car and I keep thinking its either a Veyron variant or a Koenigsegg or similar.

They are smashing it in a straight line and the video is in the cabin looking at the presenter, and as he hits redline and grabs another gear he keeps yelling "yes" or "more" or "next" or something. They are talking about the amazing sound and power coming from the engine, and they keep grabbing a new gear when the sound and power runs out but they say it with such massive emotion and they just love it. its a mad scene.

Again, its foggy but I think it was Clarkson but a small chance it was May going a bit crazy.

I am 99% sure its a Top Gear video and not 5th gear etc and it might have been a TG special or DVD but am also fairly sure it was just in a regular segment. It has to be a fairly recent one, but again can't be sure.

Any help massively appreciated - or i might be just hallucinating but doubtful.

Nah... it's not going to be a Veyron or Koenigsegg if he's claiming about the sound....

But what you're describing sounds like several scenes... could be one of several Astons, Ascari, Noble, hmmm.

Whats the car he's talking about that puts a droplet of fuel into the exhaust to make it pop?

[nutterz]

are you after the one where james may got to drive the Mini rally car?

i cant find the full clip on youtube but here a mashed up version

dammit, nope. i think its a bit newer and i am fairly sure it was a paddle-shift.

Peel P50

close! very similar

[Dyldo]

in thinking about it again, its definitely jezza and the view you have of him is of HIS right hand side (not viewing him from the RHS) and he definitely grabs a shifter paddle with his right hand and says something like "and another one!" and then when the revs run out "you grab another one" and so on.

[Bflat]

I'm beginning to remember the one...
Sure it wasn't the 458 Italia?

[Dyldo]

nope, just checked and unless they did a separate video its damn close but its not it. he definitely is screaming and having a jizz-fest over grabbing another gear

[Dyldo]

dammit, not the Lotus Evoa or the Enzo

[ryana89]
