speaking of the Veyron, has it been on top gear? I'd like to see its lap time compared to the other cars.

They did do a race with it, I think it was the Veyron vs a Cessna (I might be wrong about that, it's been a long time since I've seen it). I don't think they ran it around the test track in that episode though. The Top Gear website has a list of the Power Lap time board, as does the Top Gear Wiki page, but I don't know how often those are updated, so even if they did run the Veyron, it might not be on those lists.

I do remember that the CCX with the updated wing absolutely decimated everything else in the top ten.

1. 1:17.6 – Koenigsegg CCX (w/TG wing)
2. 1:18.4 – Pagani Zonda F
3. 1:18.9 – Maserati MC12
4. 1.19.0 – Ferrari Enzo Ferrari
5. 1:19.5 – Ariel Atom 2 300
6. 1:19.8 – Porsche Carrera GT
7. 1:20.4 – Koenigsegg CCX (Original)
8. 1:20.7 – Ascari KZ1
9. 1:20.9 – Mercedes-Benz SLR McLaren
10. 1:21.9 – Ford GT

The one your thinking of is one of em drove the car from like france to england or soemthing like that.. (about a 8 hour drive.) and raced as the other two flew in a plane.. But they had a bunch of gimmicky stuff to it.. it showed nothing cause jeremy couldnt speed anyways.


Do we know wehre the z06 fits in there.. I think the c6 was pretty high up there.
