Riggers' bit (I assume) starts at 3:20. That car sounds very good but was that a spin I saw right at the end?!

Definitely! Is that why there is no link to the Gadget Show vid from the main article?

I wouldn't have been brave enough to do that at the end - but each of the cameras had a different driver behind the wheel... (that's my story and I'm sticking to it! )

Well for one, they don't have handbrakes, do they?

I think you were trying to take evasive action to avoid rear-ending the camera car Jeremy Clarkson/XJR-15 style!

"But it's a surprisingly approachable beast. That V8 might have its origins in the Titan pick-up truck, and its 650bhp runs through the rear wheels only and with no traction control or ABS,"

So is it really a GTR or a Silhouette?

^^ good point - I wouldn't have thought that there are many similarities with the road car.

Silhouette. How else can they try and sell them for 750 grand?
