Cool, i expect it to return around october, some awesome cars to come! :D

that'd be the boost that 5th Gear really needs :D

Think he'll be able to drift like usual with 800hp?

do bears shit in the woods ?

I'm sure anyone who could handle the power / weight ratio of a f1 car can handle any road car no matter how much power ... the real question is did koenigsegg build a car with a decent setup that allows itself to be driven like that :)

Where did you take this information ? I hope to see it in the next 5th Gear season :P

In the words of my dad's Japanese secretary, " *air-sucking noise*, Gudohman san, what is a dobear?"

Anyway, I imagine with hands like Tiff's, the CCR will be quite driftable, if not as beautifully controlled as some of the others he's driven.

oooooh never heard that, maybe they held it back from last series due to his back injury, or maybe it just wasn't filmed :-( for instance i remember he tested the CGT well before we saw it on top gear :-( Hope its in the next series of six eps anyway :D

did anyone read the original post? I guess not. So ill try to rephrase the question. It was rumored that Tiff would be one of the first journalists to drive the ccr. Why wasnt he or does any one know if he did?

i interpreted as what happened to that meaning "did it already air" kid of question, i would expect it to be in the next series, they don't just announce someone will test it forno reason i guess

I think the real question is "Did Jeremy and Tiff test the CCR for Top Gear and Fifth Gear, respectively, or was it a private testing?"

yeh i already said something similar earlier, often the eary tests don't seem to get filmed :-( top gear especially often wait for the manufacturer to give them a car to take to their track and don;t film the early press launches/ previews you see in their newspaper column's and top gear mag. Not sure if tiff writes for a magazine tho

Well Zonda,

think we now know what Tiff's verdict is:
:shock: a bucket on ballbearings :shock:

@ AL123

I tend to disagree with you on that one.
To be quite frank I can't remenber any footage of TG presenters actually slipping and sliding in factory supplied 'super' cars for quite some time now. When they 'test' a supercar on their track it is nearly always a privately owned one.

well the enzo was privately owned, not sure about the CGT, SLR etc...... who knows my point was that they don't film press launches that often they seem to prefer waiting to get hold of one that they can give the full treatment, including stig test :D

When JC tested the SLR, he burned a lot of rubber. I remember seeing it but I'm not sure if it was on TG or in his last DVD.

And that's much better! 8) But if would have a supercar I wouldn't let them drive it. Look what happened with the Koenigsegg CCR in 5th Gear :roll:
