It does suck that they dont show us the full show, they dont even explain the real reason Jeremy went all over the world with the X6!

Yeah I noticed that, sucks watching the shows when they first come out, then watching it again on TV 4 months later, you notice the bits they cut quite badly.

Hey, at least it sounds like a 3s.

But those Top Gear Donkeys bagged it especially Clarkson.

I want them to test the LFA Nurburgring edition apparently its a fair bit quicker round the Nurburgring than the stock LFA.

How can you not like it.Its the best sounding car out there and its an absolute track weapon.3 seconds faster than the AWD Lambo on the TG test track unreal.If they got it back on a dry day I suggest it might get near the top of there power board.

The bummer is that the master tapes we get from the BBC have bits already cut out ... sometimes international licencing issues with music and guests etc. So unfortunately we cop a bit of flak from TG fans over something that quite often we have no control over. That's the problem with living in a world where the internet is global and instant, but the rest of the media industry hasn't caught up yet.

Yea, the designers / quality control should have done something about that.

Those spoiler bits aren't even in this picture... So I'd say its a prototype edition.

yes its over priced but i think evertyone is over looking the big picture here

think about the technology that has gone into this platform and that has opened the doors for this type of stuff to go into other lexus/toyota's

its written all over the car

have you not herd of the saying take a loss to make a gain?........a losed leader etc?

this is a amazing car the fact that the v10 is the same size as the v8 and they have to fiddle with the rev counter so it would keep up with the v10's abilitly to rev..........shit come on

as for quaility control.........i have seen some show room ferrari's and lamborghinis in a worst state than that

who $&#$% really cares tho come on!!!!!

Not only that, but to build a rep as a supercar maker you need to start somewhere, and why not with something like this super exclusive machine.
Also didn't they actually sell pretty damn fast? Which kind of suggests they were not over priced.

The thing that grabs my attention is that the tacho needed special work to keep up with an rpm signal. I mean seriously... does that mean that their normal tacho technology lags that bad?

Very cool car, but people would have to be pretty committed to the cause to pay that money. If I were able to spend that - there'd be an aweful lot of stuff I'd own before one. I honestly prefer the Ferrari F458, without even bringing price into it. The F458 seems pretty much perfect!
