Top gear is way better, they forgot to point out Strada mode Corse mode and all different engine modes of the aventador, watch episode 6 from season 17 of topgear, autocar sucks rly

[kinjat56]

@gamemoaad yes also GRIP has an interesting video comparison for GT2 RS and Aventador as well. And Tiff from Fifth Gear does not seem so happy with aventador " )

[XR4turbo]

@MiSSxxEMS A GT-R will never be as good as this car, no matter how much faster it is.

[kinjat56]

@cardude1992 the 300+ kg compared to porsches is because of the fact lambo's always have that element of luxury in them. their potential buyers are not track bred racers instead they're fat rich guys. So they had quite a bit of thought before finishing the design.

[JagerFrostTroll]

Wow niced popped up collar faggot. What's with that shit comin back now?

[theMuffinMan9999]

$400k, 750hp, cooler looking and newer Bugatti Veyron

[kinjat56]

@HiroUchihaSan why asian? there be 2 Billion in any race.. LOL But i like your comment :)

[HiroUchihaSan]

@kinjat56 I have to disagree.. There are like 2 Billion Asian people who don't give a damn about cars, nor can they drive em.

[kinjat56]

@MiSSxxEMS unfortunatelly given the money everybody would want or like a lambo except if he is abnormal subhuman being :)

[MiSSxxEMS]

@eloos1 Nissan wasn't trying to build a car like that now were they? Nope. And no it won't but that's not necessarily a bad thing.

Not everyone on the planet wants or likes Lambos lol. Your responses so far have been based solely on your own opinion of Nissan, which appears to be quite low.

[eloos1]

@MiSSxxEMS ye but Nissam is a Nissam.. and will never be a Lambo!

[volikoto]

hey this video looks better here.... maybe its because of this improved youtube...
