Top Gear pitches the Mazda MX-5 against a Greyhound

In Cars, Mazda, Videos / by /

Now this is really good. Hamster from Top Gear reviews the latest best selling roadster of all time, the Mazda MX-5. A very good review I have to admit, but the best part of this video is the challenge the Top Gear folks put it through. A race in a greyhound race track against a greyhound. It is the year of the dog after all. And dogs are fast mind you, it goes from 0-72km/h which is also it’s top speed in about 6 strides. That’s about one second. A greyhound is also the 2nd fastest accelerating animal in the world after the cheetah. The video is after the jump. Do watch until the end for a funny conversation on animal handling characteristics.
