Saw the LP670SV at Top Gear today

[traxx]

Show will be on on Sunday - great bit of filming
... and tbh I was surprised at the lap time it got
I think some of the die hard Ferrari fans will be in for a bit of a shock with which car it drew with

[cappsy]

scuderia?

fxx


enzo??

[Henry Hawthorne]

Draws with Enzo is my guess.

OK, now you're spoiling it......keep shush!

[TDS670]

Just placed my order...same colour, small wing. Roll on October...

Can't wait to see this episode, they also pitch it against the Veyron, F1 and 722 don't they?

[NotNormal]

I was there yesterday as well. Detailing on the SV was nice to see up close although I was slightly puzzled why the blacl on the bodywork was in Matt yet the black wheels are gloss which seemed to clash but hey thats pretty minor.

I also had a chat to the Mclaren chap that was looking after the F1 on display, very interesting indeed.

Will be a good episode to watch on Sunday for sure

I think Drivers Republic took it around Silverstone quicker than a 997 GT2 which was remarkable for a car of the Murci's size.

Hi Traxx

Errrrm, arn't there restrictions on camera's and such like at shows like this?

Not during the tea break interval

[eddie1980]

They ask you not to take pictures during filming for obvious reasons... Other then that they have nothing to hide.

Did you notice the guy who owned the Veyron - looked about 20 year old

Yup it's Tom Chilton (Touring Car fame). Lucky man and nice plate on it also.

I think he works for Top Gear, well, makes appearences, i doubt he owns the Veyron though i could be wrong. Read an interview a while back when he spoke about doing high speed runs in a Veyron for Top Gear.

Probably not - I notice that Tom is meant to be one of the "Stig" drivers they use
He certainly knew the Director of the program as they were talking for a while

[inf]

think you will find tom does own it or his family do

v nice guy, family has an amazing garage

[knobber]

Yes, he also owns a very impressive hairdo

When ever I've met him he's come across as a bit of a knob, but maybe I've always caught him on bad hair days

is that really so surprising with 7 years evolutionary development on a road going vehicle (with a couple of years before that in development i expect)

how much power, weight, old is the enzo?

for some, having the enzo will mean more than paying 4 x as much - be there intentions of having the most expensive or enjoying the brand/history
