That is the X-Bow. It says Stig took it for a lap. The motorbike in the background was probably there so Hammond could say "Faster than a bike blah blah".

By the looks of it, they are going to have three Stig laps?? The Gumpert, Furai and X-Bow... along with the German challenge. Sounds like a jam-packed episode. Not long to go now.

I don't see how they can fit all this stuff in. There's the German competition, the X-Bow, that Japanese car, and the Apollo/Furai? Maybe they just have the Furai in the studio, I hope not though.

Well, the Furai is a concept car so it's practically not road legal.
So if it goes around the track, it will not end up at the power lap board images/smilies/sad.gif
