Looking for a video clip....

...I feel sure I have seen before of a Cerbera racing a jet (Tornado?) down a runway. I think it was filmed in Germany.

I've searched You Tube on all the variables I can think of.....or did I just dream it?

Yep - you're definitely not imagining things - it was Top Gear in 1997 :-)

October 1997

CERBERA TORNADO F3 JET

The team wanted a 4.5 but unfortunately they had to make do with a, tweaked to 380 bhp, 4.2.

Standing 1/2 mile in 20.7. 2 seconds slower than the jet.

0 to 60 in 11.0
0 to 100 in 15.0
0 to 160 in 18.6

The Cerbera was over 1 second closer to the Tornado's time than an F40 was last year. Max speed - 1,300 mph

Cheers for that, no video though. Could have sworn I've watch something, will You Tube TG 1997.

Though the plane taking us on holiday felt sluggish on the runway
