The Stig Takes You for A 360° Lap Around The Top Gear Test Track

This is the coolest automotive video of the week for sure! And it's not any type of videos, it's the footage recorded by 360° HD camera mounted at the roof of a white SLS AMG that is being driven by the Stig around the Top Gear test track! No excuses, you need to watch (and interact with) this and make sure your speakers are loud enough!

If you think road car derived track cars are too heavy and oversized, the DP4 is surely going to catch your attention: what about a 363 Kg (800 pounds) track beast powered by motorcycle engine (no reverse) that goes from 175 Hp to 200 hp. Want more? In All Wheel Drive configuration the car can handle a more powerful turbocharged engine that produces up to 300 Hp. That should be enough. Still not convinced? Watch the video below.

When it comes to safety, Palatov Motorsport says that despite the small size of the car, it offers a very high level of safety and the driver's feet are entirely behind the front wheels.

VIDEO: Ten fastest supercars round the Top Gear track

[spoiler alert!]

This video features the ten fastest lap times round the Top Gear test track until season 13! So if you still didn't watch the series that far, maybe you would like to wait until you'll be able watch the whole series. And maybe you shouldn't read the whole post either...

Otherwise, enjoy!

For those who aren't familiar with the corners' names here's a little reminder:


The video also includes the Ferrari FXX lap time which has been removed by Jeremy Clarkson for obvious reasons (slicks, not road legal..) but it's still worth the watch, what a noise!
