So it's worth noting that, to date, this lap time has STILL not been beaten. Not even by the Atom V8, the BAC Mono, or even the Huayra, which is still three full seconds slower.
Three seconds means nothing if the car has reliability issues. I'm sure it could be beaten, just depends if someone goes out of their way to do so. Nissan went to beat a 911 turbo and so they did, with the GT-R. I actually think Nismo modded 900bhp GT-R maybe could.
The car had reliability issues because it was a prototype, not a production model. This is also the reason that it was removed from the board, as it lacked the production car's adjustable ride height and was incapable of going over a speed bump.
apmirkin Prototypes, by definition, are not finished products. Every prototype is like this. Even the Mazda Furai caught fire when it was tested by TG. The car isn't 'rubbish'. It's the closest thing we ever got to a road-legal F1 car, which is a big milestone in itself. Also, why do you say you can't drive it home? It's every bit impractical, but so is an Ariel Atom, which has even less equipment than this.
He is a pro. Not ex-f1 though... not sure if this was filmed before or after Ben Collins left as sting but, even the new "white" stig didn't drive in f1.
Ben Scott-Geddes of Caparo has stated that, "the model we supplied to Top Gear was one of our final engineering vehicles without adjustable ride height and electronic active driver control systems which are standard on our production models. When drivers select the 'road' setting, the car is more tractable in slower speed conditions and the ride height is fully adjustable to bring the car up to 90 mm clearance, making it more than capable of driving over speed bumps." The time should be placed back on IMO...
Obi-Wan Kannabis Funny how all these companies cars that don t perform well on top gear have an excuse why it didn't perform well. Either it's because they for some reason supply top gear with a production model that wasn't like the others or just straight up blame the presenters.
+Wanderer628 Lol, the caparo T1 decimated other road legal cars. Even now that the real Top Gear is dead, it would've been the fastest legal time on the board. Bit of a marketing blunder of caparo to not supply a car with the proper adjustable ride height. Probably would've helped them some if the time stayed on.
@@theeternalnow6506 Top Gear requires that a car must be able to clear a speed bump in order for its time to remain on the board. The T1 they tested was a pre-production model that did not have the ability to raise its nose, so the time was removed However, I believe the real reason is that leaving the T1's lap time up would rob the show of the 'suspense' value of seeing whether a new hyper car could set the fastest time. The answer would always be 'no'. The T1 improved on the old track record by 7 seconds. It's taken ~14 years for another car to come within 1 second of this lap time
@@ccx806 but still though to this day even though the t1s lap was taken off the lap board no road car has been able to ever get anywhere close to that bilstering 1:10.6 that the caparo set. And to be honset i dont think it will ever get beat.
Patthon Sirilim we need to start with how much this car wieghs, but that doesnt matter because it only has 500-700 horsepower vs the bugatti 1200-1400hp... this means that caparo only wiehgs about 1000 pounds.
im just saying man people this have no clue how much power a car make a stock evo which is quite fast make only 150hp per ton a typical car make around 60-80hp per ton so 600+ hp per ton is not really just only is it
If anyone's interested what happened to this car: "Caparo planned to sell around 25 cars per year. However, in the production run they sold just 15 cars before the company fell into administration in 2015"
not to mention 99% of drivers out there would get themselves killed driving it....just sayin....lol. Having said that, I've made a formal request on my fb wall for someone to get me a Caparo T1 for my next birthday....or...barring that....a Lotus 340-R, Campagna T-Rex, Radical SR8, or Ariel Atom.
The most underrated car in Top Gear ever, Ever!!! Wtf, this is the very fastest road going car ever made, it makes 3G lateral force, highest power-to-weight ratio, highest power/unit displacement, and above all its Naturally Aspirated!!!
It's a shame the T1 has the reliability of an early 70's F1 car. Every test video I've come across results in an engine fire or something else equally disastrous.
the T1 is the ultimate supercar track day special, no one in their right mind would take this out on a normal road, to blitz that track is 1,10 is insane, and stigg's lap was incredible, showing great skill.
This car with track tires (slicks) is untouchable. Forget the cornering problems if the tires are warm it is unbelievable. Also it helps if you are not driving in Brittan where the weather is horrible all the time.
Now imagine putting 1,200 HP under the hood. I think Caparo could easily make the T1 into the fastest production car in the world. Driving it like that, though, is another story.
Well you would but at least in those cars you have a better chance. I mean look at that thing. They might as well have named it the caparo helltransport
cchujnickSpam Except that the Bugatti isn't even designed with downforce in mind with the exception of the rear wing. I'm surprised that muscle car fanatics don't care about the Veyron, because it uses the exact same brute-force formula as a Mustang and just takes it to the logical extreme. Also, Sir Issac Newton would call you an idiot. The heavier the object, the harder it is to move.
cchujnickSpam So, because motorcycles exist, the laws of physics have completely rewritten themselves? Or are you just disregarding the fact that the gear ratios on motorcycles are set up for acceleration and not top-speed? I'd like you to do an experiment. Grab a cheap RC car kit from a hobby store (an ECX Torment is a good choice for this). Charge the battery, then run three full-throttle passes on a flat surface, making sure to jot down the top speed. Now, recharge the battery pack, then run three more full-throttle passes, this time with a cinderblock strapped to the chassis. The car should be faster without the cinderblock on it. Next, drop in a high-performance brushless system into that car and repeat the experiment. Again, the car should be faster without the cinderblock - specifically, the car should be fastest with the brushless motor and without the cinderblock, followed by the car with the stock setup and no cinderblock. If nothing else, this should prove that it's not the Veyron's weight that makes it fast.
They would have to work a hell of a lot on the brakes and the chassis and the reliability before they should consider putting over 1,000 bhp under that incredibly lightweight body :P
I can't imagine such a high performance car ever meeting a driver to match its performance. They've overpowered this car, and created something only the Stig could live with.
I love the looks, the speed and the sound of that caparo and I also admire Caparo wanting to make a Formula 1 car for the road. I think some car makers should try that. If Caparo themselves conquered the reliability issues, it would have been a really amazing car. I know they took it off the Power Lap Board, but, they should've had a separate Power Lap Board for it.
did this company ever really even take off after this episode? i mean did they get to building actual customer cars besides the one or two pre production cars the built.
Jamie Stirzaker nope. some former engineers from the mclaren f1 project were originally involved with designing this car. thats the only relation between caparo and mclaren that i know of.
This car with track tires (slicks) is untouchable. Forget the cornering problems if the tires are warm it is unbelievable. Also it helps if you are not driving in Brittan where the weather is horrible all the time. Notice the Stig makes a record time!!
It's a Formula 1 car for people who aren't lucky enough to be picked up by a Formula 1 team and can't afford a $2.6 Million Formula 1 car and the millions of dollars of support equipment that's needed to maintain and operate one. If you ever wanted to drive a Formula 1 car, this is the closest thing to it unless you want to race professionally or are a multimillionaire.
3:00. And that is the problem with so many of the current crop of "hypercars". So few people have the ability, or the reaction speed, to even begin to use a fraction of the available performance. Few of them are rich enough to buy one in the first place, and there are relatively few places where such performance could be utilised if you had the money and the ability to do so. Add to this the fact that so many of them are hideously ugly, you are left with a customer base consisting of short-sighted, billionaire, jet pilots with their own racetrack....
No it wouldn't be able to corner as fast the car does not make any lift so it would even do one backflip it would probably unsettle the car a bit and then the driver would slow down
then you would have to rework the body and chassis as well because the turbo takes up some space and you need additional air intakes. That would make it not only heavier and bigger, but probably its handling would become even worse.

***** just the windshield????? Dunno how many times I've washed my car before a long road trip....only to have the front bumper, headlights, grille, and front of the hood plastered with bug guts...
@ tarekun most likely because its design was a prototype test bed for the Redbull X2010 and yes it does resemble the X2010. Only difference is it dosent have that giant fan creating so much dirt and dust in the gravel.
I don't think Stig really pushed it like in most cars he's driven. Watch the acceleration of Jeremy vs Stig. Stig really let off and used a more tactile approach. Like someone else said, those were road tires, and not slicks. If the test track is properly paved, they could've used slicks and we could see what Stig could really do with it.
***** people by stupid pictures with some dots and wrinkly lines on it for a price they culd by a bunch of caparos. Price doesn't say anyting about something...and honestly, I think that the caparo is pretty cheap concidered how magnificient it is. Absolutely astonishing. You pay 1mil for bugattis, 1/4 of that money and you bus something thats by far better. Seriously, Bugattis, Koeniggsegg, Pagani...those cars are about speed, thats it. It doesn't matter if its comfortable, if you can buy some grocerys with it or how much it consumes, people driving these cars don't care, neither do i. Those type of cars should only be judged by the fact how fast they are.
Bboy RagnarouS I had the honor to sit in a Konigsegg for about 550-600 kilometers, that was not really comfortable. And as i said, i don't care as long as it makes it up with speed :)

***** just the windshield????? Dunno how many times I've washed my car before a long road trip....only to have the front bumper, headlights, grille, and front of the hood plastered with bug guts...
The humility the car's engineers must've gone through after this piece....
Haha... Team America secret signal...
Bahahahaha
At 2:12 bug hits camera lol
The zip ties on the brake cables are very comforting.
Despite all the disadvantages of this vehicle, it’s my favourite car to date!
I wish the red bull x1 was real...
I know how you feel
The redbull x1 has a maximum lateral acceleration reaching up to 8.75G.......many people may lose consciousness in the middle of a curve lol
You'd have to wear a G suit and go though Fighter pilot training to drive it unfortunately.
Birki gts it doesn't work like that
X1 looks like this one though so Its pretty damn close ( you will still need to learn the skill to drive it though )
@ tarekun most likely because its design was a prototype test bed for the Redbull X2010 and yes it does resemble the X2010. Only difference is it dosent have that giant fan creating so much dirt and dust in the gravel.
All that weight reduction and aerodynamics yet 0.001 faster than an FXX and 2 seconds slower than a Zonda R
+Go Teqno Yes, that's true, but the caparo was on a wet track!
+NileLTR yeah I guess so
It's actually only .1 faster than the FXX.
I don't think Stig really pushed it like in most cars he's driven. Watch the acceleration of Jeremy vs Stig. Stig really let off and used a more tactile approach. Like someone else said, those were road tires, and not slicks. If the test track is properly paved, they could've used slicks and we could see what Stig could really do with it.
+downsouth420 Jeremy was on a dry track whilst stig was on wet.
The price turns me away completely.
OF ALL THE THINGS WRONG WITH THIS CAR, THE PRICE TURNS YOU AWAY!!!!????
Victor Adamson Well think about it. If there are so many things wrong with it, why does it cost so much?
***** people by stupid pictures with some dots and wrinkly lines on it for a price they culd by a bunch of caparos. Price doesn't say anyting about something...and honestly, I think that the caparo is pretty cheap concidered how magnificient it is. Absolutely astonishing. You pay 1mil for bugattis, 1/4 of that money and you bus something thats by far better. Seriously, Bugattis, Koeniggsegg, Pagani...those cars are about speed, thats it. It doesn't matter if its comfortable, if you can buy some grocerys with it or how much it consumes, people driving these cars don't care, neither do i. Those type of cars should only be judged by the fact how fast they are.
Ibrahim Strika It doesn't go like u think it does.. especially koeniggseg is very comfortable and easy to use!
Bboy RagnarouS I had the honor to sit in a Konigsegg for about 550-600 kilometers, that was not really comfortable. And as i said, i don't care as long as it makes it up with speed :)
I wonder if Grimsby Town have tried NOT to win the FA Cup cos of this extremely dangerous car.
Basically an F3 car for the road
2:10 R.I.P random bug
The red bull prototype X2010 was designed around the Caparo T1 so there will be a lot of similarities.
