It's funny how Zonda seems to be big and bulky when you watch it filmed with tv camera and very well proportioned and quite small when filmed with normal camcoder.
Yep - filmed at Dunsfold Aerodrome, where they film Top Gear. That 747 in the background is now used for films, and was in the Bond Film, Casino Royal.
Awesome time from the Ultima - sadly not tested by Top Gear themselves - in a similar way, they won't test a quick Caterham....we suspect that the big names don't want their hyper(expensive) cars beaten by - what they would term as - 'kit' cars, and Top Gear want the big names to show up and bring their mega-machines....
just to clarify that there is more then one stig, they actually take any driver that they can get a hold of to do the laps for them so it rotates around about 5 different drivers
wow thanks the Zonda F is my most favourite car of all time was a bit upset when it was beat on the lap times board but this car for me is everything i wish i could afford one :p
....love 'em or hate 'em the 3 presenters were excellent - very funny off camera and most bits done in one take - very proffesional. I'll be posting other pictures from the day in a week or so on our website
Hi all - Stig on this day was Ben Collins - apparently there are a 'few'! Very lucky in that we know one of the Dunsfold Park managers so got to watch - then went and watched the filming of the show itself (waiting list of 165,000 apparently, so pretty lucky!) - it was the one with the Millau Bridge, Ford GT, Ferrari 430 and Zonda - all of which were in the studio....
Dude if ferrari was into race cars and they dedicated to themselves to make race cars believe me..Ferrari would kick the fuck out of the zonda f..cuz ferrari is about elegance also speed but is not rlly made for the track..ferrari makes race cars like every 10 years..in da 80's F40 90's F50 2000 Enzo..so um yeh if ferrari dedicated to themselves to that Im sure ferrari would kick the fuck out of the zonda...EVEN THOUGH I FUCKING LOVE THAT CAR :P I like the sound of it~

no I don't want everyone being able to drive my car:p haha~ btw dude wtf r u talking about?:S just tell me with no () plz and talk like if your talking normal not like if your some kind of news reporter or some shit
Case in Point, Eddie Griffin wrecks a Ferrari Enzo. The car is paddle operated, no clutch work, movement of the hand and arm not needed to make a good gearchange. Eddie says, I can drive that. Wrong. Manual cars require skills to shift, work the clutch, and respect. Four Enzo's have been wrecked, because the owners can't drive them.
I know you ass, fine supercars whatever~ the point is ferrari just makes a "race car" (like for the circuit) every 10 years as I said: in da 80's: F40 90's: F50 2000: Enzo...my point was if Ferrari DEDICATED to make cars like the Pagani Zonda Company then I SAY Ferrari would kick ass~ dude is personal opinion! but yea I admit I love the pagani zonda, the sound is what I love~
They did already make it- the FXX. It is basically the dedicated race version of the Enzo, not street legal and what not. Designated track driving days from Ferrari. Debrief after driving. And the thing sounds like an f1 car, ooh its so beautiful.
the Mercedes V12 engine in this pantomime horse sounds so very good!

try searching for Ultima GTR 720. It just beat this by over 5 seconds!! (and yes it was totally road-spec and was even driven to the circuit!)

The Zonda looks so stupid and outlandish and that, I think, is what makes it so incredibly cool.

the best sound i've heard from a car actually but in my opinion it's dead ugly.
i don't like how the driver is placed so far forward but that goes to most supercars

As much as I love the Veyron, I just think it's too heavy. The Koenigsegg CCX is far lighter with a much better power to weight ratio.

oh yes, and the Zonda did sound amazing - closest to an F1 car on the road (in noise terms) apart from perhaps the V10 of the Porsche GT.
The record lap was the one where he bounces over the kerb slightly - then he broke the car!

They did already make it- the FXX. It is basically the dedicated race version of the Enzo, not street legal and what not. Designated track driving days from Ferrari. Debrief after driving. And the thing sounds like an f1 car, ooh its so beautiful.
