Yep... Some race drivers already tested it, so he might have been one of them.

I think they mean the Koenisegg (sp.) not the Veyron.

most likely. The CCR is officially faster than the McLaren F1 was. and even though the Veyron hit 252mph before, it wasnt counted for one reason or another.

I would rather watch them review the enzo, the small review on fiorano wasnt sufficient. It was like 2 minutes inside the car... plus, the enzo would create a much greater buzz around the series than the ccr.

bleh.. whats the use.. he's a bad tv reviewer.. even james may would do a better job with the CCR.. I hated the AMV8 bit.. imagine if jezza had it with him.. it'd be a wonderful review.. even him talking about how it feels not drives is suffecient enough. and we are booooooooored with the enzo.. images/smilies/smile.gif

Tiff Needell finally gets his hands on the most powerful production car in the world - the Koenigsegg CCR. The addition of a Lysholm Twin Screw Supercharger has boosted the power of this new model up to a massive 806bhp, turning it into the fastest road car in the world. However, not all goes according to plan with Tiff's test drive... all will be revealed in the show.

I have just been reliably informed that there's no rip today, but it'll get done by the usual source tomorrow instead.

btw - pretty good ep today - so it's worth the wait images/smilies/smile.gif
