Series 9, episode 2.

It was an outstanding segment, especially his vs Clarkson's description of what it's like doing that speed. A remarkable piece of engineering indeed.

the episode they played on top gear on sunday was one where they tried to race a light plane in the bugatti from somewhere like italy i think it was to england...
good stuff that...
correct me if im wrong, could very well be, but thats 70l/100kms economy at full speed...
how good is the sound from that car though... especially when you hear it take off in the episode...
wonder if theyll get cheaper with age? or whether someone will find one in a barn somewhere in 40 years time?

And if you can get into Lindsay Fox's private muesum/garage at Phillip Island you'll see one. As well as his Mclaren F1, Mercedes Mclaren and his Ferari Enzo amongst many more.
