Their trip starts at the incredible Nardo test track, a facility so massive it is visible from space, before heading north for a nerve wracking drive around the centre of Rome. The journey concludes at the legendary Imola circuit, a track challenging enough to have embarrassed many an F1 driver, with a timed challenge against the incredible skills of The Stig.

    I think it's one of the first time I've ever seen Jeremy so focused. Especially from 3:14 to before he starts to speak again. I mean, Jeremy Clarkson quiet? With eyes wide opened staring at the road? That was a thrill.

    The flames spewing out of the Lambo make me smile every time. That is frickin epic.

    Pause at 2:49. Does anybody notice that the view outside is that of the top gear test track?

      I don't know but certainly it isn't the Imola track

      They probably wanted a rev counter shot but didn't have one at imola so just used one they got when they tested an MP4-12C earlier

    seeing that terrified Richard's face at 1:55 shows exactly how terrifying it was. balls of steel!

      I wonder if his accident popped into his mind when he was about to go on the gravel.

    The winner here is Hammond. No ABS, no stability control, manual gearbox and still manage to do that? Lol

    • @JetFalcon710
      @JetFalcon710 2 роки тому +2

      Not to mention, considering all of that, the spinout save at around 1:55 is truly incredible. Goes to show that Hammond is actually a damn good driver

    The Lamborghini Aventador is a beast!

    • @hippievogelei
      @hippievogelei 9 років тому

      +Rick S did you say anything about the almost 10 year earlier released Ferrari enzo? less bhp still faster in corners and acceleration/top speed.

    • @ztunelover
      @ztunelover 8 років тому +1

      +Mr Hippie The enzo is on another league from the aventador. Average people if they work really hard and are money smart and are willing to make some sacrifices can appreciably own a used aventador someday. An enzo? Not a damn chance man. It was a technological marvel, the pinnacle of what could be done at the time.

    • @hippievogelei
      @hippievogelei 8 років тому

      Then why are people overhyping this brother from the audi a7, i mean i rather buy a rs7 then a aventador.

    • @ztunelover
      @ztunelover 8 років тому +11

      Mr Hippie Because the aventador is a badass style statement. It looks epic. It sounds epic. It shoots flames out of the exhaust. Its doors go up. It has a gigantic v12. And it is unapologetically ridiculous. And the fact you went on to even think of the enzo in a similar performance category as this means you understand that this is a bloody fast car and inadvertantly complimented it. An audi is none of those things. Well they are fast. But they have none of the flamboyance and flair of v12 lambos.

    • @richardparnell3770

  • @robs104
    @robs104 11 років тому +1

    I've never been a big Lamborghini fan before I saw this segment but after... That footage made me smile, got my heart rate up, and most importantly gave me goosebumps. The McLaren is a technical and engineering masterpiece and I LOVE Ferraris (the only one of these I have ever been inclined to actually drive before this) but the Aventador just has more of a... Spark.

  • @samakshuppal

    That Lambo is the best out of the three! It sounds unlike anything! The flames for power boost coming out of the exhausts was spectacular!

  • @sejhedskongen
    @sejhedskongen 11 років тому +1

    everytime i watch something about this track, i almost cry, because Senna pops into me head... and i was not born that day he died, but after videos and knowledge from my dad and other people, i got so much respect for him, and he was the best racing driver in my opinion.. Ayrton Senna i Respect your driving and your personality

    • @oliviero46
      @oliviero46 7 місяців тому

      Well, this is Imola.
      IMO one of the most intimidating track in the world.
      I used to volounteer there as track p-medic.
      You can breath the motorsport history there.
      Every time I walked into the the infamous Tamburello corner, I could feel a shivering sensation running through my spine.
      Thinking of it original line you can realize how dangerous was the layout.
      An almost flat-out left turn with the wall at few meters; one mistake and you kiss the wall.
