Would be cool to see Top Gear review that car, and if they have, upload it!

amusing review by him as always. guess i never imagined the MC12 would be great in the corners, so i'm not as disappointed as he is, but crap the dimensions of the car took me by surprise :shock: must be like driving a limo :P

awesome stuff. I was really expecting a more positive review though. That's the great thing about JC... he's not afraid to give a car like this a bad review.

They managed to get an Enzo didn't they :wink:

I suppose it will be a while before it is arranged, but Frank Mountain (the guy with the wrecked Enzo) is friendly with the guys at TG Mag, so i guess they will borrow his car 8)

Well they let that twat Tom Ford drive Frank Mountains MC12 on country roads for Top Gear Mag so I wouldnt be suprised to see it on the Top Gear show

Beauttiful car. It will be very dificult to find one in the streets,because only 25 were made.This road version was produced so they can have this car in the FIA-GT Championship.
:D

That was an entertaining read. He never holds back on what he says. God-awful color on that car, though.

Love that car. And JC is still the best writer IMO, mainly cause of his wit and metaphors. Nice read, thanks.

Nice review by JC...its refreshing to hear someone not hold back after reading all the suck-ups in American cars mags.

Surprising about how big this thing is...I had no idea it was a soft version of the Enzo...the torque is pretty amazing, 582 lb ft @ 5500rpm, is that correct? Sounds like an awful lot, considering the Enzo has less than 500.
