How about that Pagani?

I recently saw a video where Horacio told the story of creating the new car.

Amazing what he and his team can do.
If you click on the part 2 of this video, you will see Hammond testing the Huayra in it.

Default Don't miss: Top Gear - Lexus LFA vs Dodge SRT-10 Viper vs Vanquish this weekend

After returning from the US roadtrip, it is well known Clarkson did a final review of the LFA and called it "the best car I have ever driven"

Remember to tune in February 2rd, 2013 for the season special "US Road trip" with the LFA, Viper SRT-10 and Vanquish




Episode 2

Top Gear, Series 19 Episode 2 of 7

The brand new series of the world's most popular car show continues with an epic road trip across the western side of the United States in three front-engined supercars. With Jeremy Clarkson in a Lexus LFA, Richard Hammond driving the new Dodge Viper and James May choosing the latest Aston Martin Vanquish a glorious soundtrack is guaranteed, as are furious arguments about which is best as the trio head from Las Vegas to Los Angeles and on to Palm Springs. Along the way, the three presenters take in racing circuits, airborne attacks and a race against the police before making a break for the Mexican border with a terrifying penalty for the last car to make it. Meanwhile, back in the studio, legendary Fleetwood Mac drummer Mick Fleetwood is the star in the Reasonably Priced Car.

*****************Spoiler Alert***************


On Vega speedway,

The surprise???

Clarkson in the LFA beat Hammond in the Viper SRT-10 and May in the Aston Martin Vanquish at Las Vegas Speedway. LFA had the fastest 1/4 mile out of three cars that night.

Hammond tried to argue, on paper the Viper SRT-10 is the fastest, but Clarkson argued in real life LFA was the fastest (possibly because of the LFA's superior gearing and an automated gearbox).

All cars were using launch control system.

They also did a stop light drag race and the Lexus LFA again beat the Vanquish and SRT-10 Viper.

Clarkson seems to love everything about the car. The engine response, sound, steering feel, gearbox.

The only complaint he made was of the cupholders, small tank and difficult seatbelts.
