I wish he would test something along the lines of the saleen s7 or the mosler mt900, as i would liken them to the ascari...except faster. I'm not sure they sell them in Europe, but they are great cars and have proved very capable in the racing world.
Coupe things i would pick on this video...
1. No way the audi is even that close to the GT3, it was clearly being under-driven to make it closer.
2. Lambo does not look better than the F430, but they both don't look very good, at least to me.
3. Aston...is not that great? I dont think it makes a particularly good sound, more industrial sounding I think. Not nearly as pretty as the old DB7 either. I guess about 90% of what he said comes from British pride.
4. Ascari bit was incredible, I love that car. Although he did say when THE cam comes on, and I'm fairly certain that car has 4 cams.
5. Veyron is anything but French, and all that footage was from the race across Europe, which is what they did with both Hammond's and May's tests of the car as well.
It was ok, although just seeing supercars constantly, and I thought I would never say this, but it gets boring.
EDIT: I just found that fifth gear did a review on the Mosler, so I guess it IS sold in Europe.

Its almost the exact same formula as the Ascari, even sounds pretty close.
