Somewhere a frustrated James Bond film writer crumples up the sheet of paper with his idea on it, and begins searching for another one now that his has been publicly displayed by Top Gear…
Too bad the Exige is saddled with the Toyota engine. Good for reliability, but not so good for speed. Everything else says "race car" on this vehicle, so why does it have a cam setup that's best suited for fuel economy? "The Kick" should come onboard much earlier than the last 2000 RPMS. A real performance engine setup would transform this car into a beast.
hahaha….
hehehehe. wish could do so
i have this episode… quite hilarious especially the ending part where the apache fired a shot at the car.. which looked so fake….
anyway, in the same episode… there was a MPV race…estima,serena,espace and many more battled it out in an oval circuit…
Top Gear's staff are still children. They always make hilarious test
Sweet stuff. I was lucky enough to catch a live demostration of this, linked below :)
