Bugatti Veyron crashes on the track



While the boys try to give Bugatti Veyron to The Stig to drive around Top Gear track, some french dorks have actually managed to do so! Obviously, being French, they couldn't do it in a normal way, which is to drive Veyron as fast as possible round the track. Instead they crashed Veyron in a fence. What a useless nation.

Personal Jetpack Videos

This week in Top Gear there is a race - a car vs a man with a jetpack.
So I found videos of personal jetpack usage.
There are two jetpack models to buy, and they have just one drawback - the price. The first model costs $255.000, while the second one - $150.000.
But look at it!

Stig drives Caparo T1 on track

Another fast car video on our blog!
This car has a 3.5 litre naturally aspirated V8, and this car accelerates quicker than a Veyron! That's just amazing. It's called the Caparo T1, and it was designed by McLaren F1 team.
Here is the video of Stig driving the Caparo T1:


And this is a video of 5th gear presenter Jason Plato (named "Potato" by Jeremy Clarkson), who drives a Caparo, which catches fire:

Lamborghini Reventon test drive video

In today's video some guys got a chance to drive a Lamborghini Reventon - a fantastic looking hypercar, which costs just about the same as Bugatti Veyron. Only 20 Reventon's were made, and they are all sold out.
In today's video you can hear the Reventon engine sound (the engine is 6.5 V12!), and even get a look at Reventon dashboard, which looks absolutely futuristic. It's the perfect Lamborghini, really.
What we need now, is to see how The Stig drives Lamborghini Reventon.

More on Botswana special

This week's Top Gear took place in Botswana.
Richard Hammond drove an Opel Kadett, Jeremy drove a Lancia, and James chose an old Mercedes.
That was a strange choice, especially if you mind the wild animals of Botswana.
So you probably wonder, what is the best car to travel to Botswana? Well, if you choose the Toyota Landcruiser, you'll be all right, as proven by this video:

More on Peel P50 and Peel P50 Sport version

OK, so everyone was hugely impressed last week, when Jeremy Clarkson drove the Peel P50 - smallest car you can buy.
Peel P50's fuel consumption is as low as 100 MPG, because it has just a 49cc engine, which delivers 4 bhp. It doesn't have any breaklights, so you have to use your hand to show the direction of your travel.
And there is a very cool looking Peel P50 Sport version - the Peel Trident. It has a huge plastic bulb and two seats! Watch an exclusive Peel P50 test drive in this video:
