Which episode has the Carrera GT doing a braking test from 120mph

[marcmerlin]

I remember seeing a braking test from 120mph down to 0 in the alloted distance for a regular car to stop from 60mph.
I could swear it was on top gear, does someone remember which episode that was?

Thanks
Marc

Damn, I could have sworn it was a Carrera GT. Goes to show my memory... Thanks all for the correction.

Do you happen to know which season/episode that clip is from? (I can find that, but you'll save me the time if you already know )

season 6 episode 6 i think

 

[Blythy]

SLR 04x02 IIRC

Yep, it's 04x02 because that's the one where Hammond got hypnotized. (Wikipedia - Top Gear Episode Guide)

I do have to say, such braking is amazing. If only all cars had that braking power, then we cold all blame someone rear-ending another car and driver inattentiveness.

Oh, and

 

[Capacious Boot]

Indeed 4x02, in fact I watched that episode last night.
Also had Fab-1 and the Escalade.

Good times.

 

[Ottobon]

is that the episode where its brakes light on fire, or was that a clarkson dvd?

 

[marcmerlin]

Yes, thanks to you all, it was 04x02 at offset 52mn
(and yes, that's the one with the shot of the brakes on fire)

Cheers,
Marc
