the episode was really a special one, high speed runs at Nardo featuring MTM RS6, Brabus SV12, a tuned Maserati, MTM Audi Bimoto and one of my favourites a Techart Porsche GT street S.
as far as i could remember the MTM RS6 ended up with a blown up engine, just before it reached 177mph but the head of MTM Mr.Roland Meyr declared that it can reach 190mph. the Maserati reached 181,4mph, the SV12 203mph although Brabus estimated 205+mph. the Porsche reached 208mph although it should have reached 217mph. the fastest`d been the Bimoto with 232,3mph but MTM declared that it`ll be able to reach 248+mph. AMS is already working on another highspeed supercar test at Nardo so we`ll have to wait and see...

0-60/0-124 test:

Porsche: 3.9 sec / 11.1 sec
SV12: 4.5 sec / 13.9 sec
Maserati: 4.9 sec / 13.9 sec
Bimoto and RS6: no test due to engine problems

but the main reason why to watch that episode had been the vid of the "comparison" between the CGT, Enzo and Gallardo. thanks to god most of the time the CGT was shown and a little interview with Walter Röhrl: "the CGT is a pure racecar with it`s mid-engine layout. the body only makes very few movements has nearly no side inclination and has a very neutral handling."
some onboad driving, passing the camera before a corner, very nice drifting sequences and the sound....truely amazing for ppl who see the CGT for the first time in action.
the Enzo and the Gallardo....wasn`t really interested....just gimme that CGT !!!
