New British sportscar?
Ultima GTR. Pwns ALL other cars on the planet, admittedly the motor is a seriously modified Chevy, but a car is more than just engine. Just take a look if you don't believe me -

Uh huh, Ultima and Ariel you say... I asked for cars that people had actually heard of. Pretty much there's nothing. Everyone knows what a mustang or corvette is, in every country of the world. Who the fuck knows anything British? Hell, Jag is just Ford now and Mini is BMW... what do you have left, Land Rover?
Granted, all of the names are owned by multinationals, but where do people go for the tuning/handling work? Corvettes have Lotus developed engines and suspension, Ford have Cosworth to thank for engine developement. Ferrari, Subaru and Mitsubishi all come here for improvement, and the New Ford GT40 was an entirely British piece of work. England is *the* place for automotive technology.
El_W, did you even bother to look at the Ultima site? The figures speak for themselves. Ultima have been barred from Top Gear by the big names because they shame them for a fraction of the price of "supercars".
if the full clip was shown he talks about whats wrong. live rear axle. shit gearbox, weak brakes, plastic interior. all cost cutting measures that you wouldnt see on a bmw or audi. plus americans cant build cars that go round corners. who gives a fuck about straight line speed. no skil in that
a v6 no performance automatic stang is no faster than a kid on a tricycle. This is like if I put a 4 cyclinder in a ferrari and then declared they were all slow.
lol. limey, nice to hear an insult from the modern era! the whole point of my comment was about cost cutting, which a pissy v6 motor'd stang is! you wouldnt see an rs4 base model with the above mentioned features. nor an m3, let alone one of the asian performance motors like an evo or impreza. the american car market sux arse, thats y only americans buy into it. i prefer my 4x4's to be able to go off road, not look pretty on 24's. my sports cars to grip and handle, not just sound nice and do pretty burn outs. and my thorough breads to be that, not an under engineered, made for the masses plastic cheaped out shit box. overweight cars for over weight people!
A real american muscle car is built for three things: burning the back tires off, making a nice sound, looking good.
I have a nice 7 series that would tear most american cars up in any kind of race, but on the other hand, sometimes you want to put the hammer down and feel the car explode with uncontrolled, unrefined power.
He's going to drift it? Did you hear him mention that it wanted to understeer? Face it, Mustangs are wannabe sports cars. The only American sports car is the Corvette. And I'm not saying they're great.
What's understeer got to do with it? Any rear wheel drive with more than about 50ho can be drifted round a track, just throw it into the curve and plant it. Easy.
Box, the skill of driving rear wheel drive cars is in controlled over steer. this car has a live rear axle and cheap suspenion so cant put is power down evenly round a corner. ending in the inside wheel screaming for help and the car not turning properly
WTF? Of course a horse can flip a bitch faster than a car. what did that prove? that's like saying a mouse can spin tighter circles than a cheetah and there for, cheetahs are over rates
You sure about that? Last time I checked, Renault supplied the engines. What's more, under the skin, the Volvo S40, Renault Laguna and Mitsubishi Carisma are the same car. Volvo Cars are owned by Ford.
wow your a fuck Volvo had help from cos-worth on the 16-valve red block motors.all Volvo Modular engines are built in Skövde, Sweden.Volvo owns Renault trucks.True Ford Motor Company's Premier Automotive Group(PAG)does own Volvo cars but that will change.the Wallenberg Family Volvo ab and BMW have been keeping an eye out for Volvo for over a year.Although fords pag owns Volvo they have given Volvo more independent operations.
Truth of the matter is, you don't know what you're buying these days. Between them, Ford, VAG and GM own or part own about 90% of the car manufacturers, which is fine until there's a downturn in the market.
Comments to amazing american technology
Hay is a lot cheaper than gas too
Yes but they cannot diet on hay alone, you have to buy oats and stuff too
My favorite show ever.
i second that
Not my 'favourite' but I'll third that anyway.
Show sucks. Host cant drive worth a shit. Cant speak worth a shit either.
Yea I love shows and movies where they take advantage of peoples (like you) ignorance and slant the scenario in their favor...
Fuckin limeys
Lets put a Vauxhall or Opel, I mean GM, or Jag, oh wait Saab, no Volvo, uhhh Mazda in there and see if it does any better.....
Stupid experiment.
BTW, the Mustang is assembled by the AutoAlliance in Flat Rock Michigan.... A Mazda and Ford plant....
so... do you like computers?
Nope... jigsaw expert
Yes
I would like to see a horse do 75mph on a freeway
i would like to see you do 120mph straight down off a tall building
that is possible though
More like probable.
Depends upon the height of the building
terminal velocity...
Why did they use a base model convertible? Oh because the GT, Roush, Saleen or Cobra would have embarrassed him.
shit they cold go back in time when the mustang was running a boss 429...
could*
whole point is to test their NEW car
top gear sucks automotive balls. its just some p.o.s. bbc car show that gets free reign to jack off into a studio camera how ever it wants.
^ Good, better than your shit then.
You must be a former employee Chaps.
Also, maybe they could have used a manual transmission.
they could use a "new" GT Roush or Saleen.. but they didnt.
its from a clarkson dvd the good the bad and the ugly, he does toest a roush, and shelby. he beats a roush round a track with a bm z4, a european hairdressers car
*test
Not talking about BMWs here.. just Mustangs and thoroughbreds.
the Z4 is much smaller than a Mustang and is definitely built as a race inspired vehicle, something that a base model convertible Mustang isnt. kthx
id still rather have american muscle than british mini balls
British mini balls fuck you up!
Until you find yourself in a 30 mph head-on situation...
and then your British mini balls are worth fuck all.
That was a crapstang.
That one yes, this one no...
Whyyyy are you heeeere?
Why isn't he?
I told you I was sleeping deeply.
And that was one hell of a deep sleep!
That show is so perfect I could masturbate to the host.
wow, I guess 300 horses can go slower than 1 horse.
They'd all be going at relatively the same speed, no?
HA!!! Good point!
No.
fucking brits can suck my fat gas guzzling V8 cock
Evidently puny.
Funny he calls it a 4.6L when it's clearly not a GT. The one he's driving is the 4.0L V6 and coupled with an automatic transmission is crap.
Yeah, but give a European engineer a 4.0L engine to work with and he'll give you more than 400 horses.
Yep, like the Porsche 956 with 640hp out of a 2.65l engine, pretty rad.
HOLY SHIT YOU'RE RIGHT!!!! WHAT A FUCKING LOAD OF SHIT!!!
True Cervix... look at honda as well... 212 HP in a 2.0 honda S2000.
uggh tired... that's 242 hp on the S2000... still crazy imho.
Cervix, if you pay that much for a car of course it will be faster. Displacement is second to money poured into it.
Clarkson is a faggot. American cars are the best. fuck Europe, fuck Asia.
Lol no. You're twice the faggot Clarkson is and American cars are far from the best, but still I do love Mustangs.
how can you say that ? he just proved on camera how crappy yank cars are
^ not you Yeti
As opposed to those fucking famous new british sports cars that everyone knows about... you know...
Well for a start the Shelby Cobra is a British sports car
I said "new". There's plenty of old American cars that will fuck up a new mustang's shit too.
i prefer german cars...

Ariel Atom , now theres proof that you dont need a big engine or car to be able to go like an F1 car
But you get wet when it rains in one of them things.
U.S. auto makers have for years created a superior car than european auto makers when the time suits them.
Never, bigmac, why do you think all the Cart and Indy series cars were designed in England?
Uh huh, Ultima and Ariel you say... I asked for cars that people had actually heard of. Pretty much there's nothing. Everyone knows what a mustang or corvette is, in every country of the world.

Land Rover is Ford, for the moment. I believe the last stand-along British brand was Rover which pissed themselves away....

I could write a fucking thesis on all that is wrong with this.
go ahead knock ya'self out....
Looking forward to it, hopefully it will consist of more than three words and a shit doodle.
ugh hes such a lying sack of shit.. and clearly used the shittiest combo mustang/engine/anyfucking thing to test.
and on top of that had he drifted that shit it would have beeen loads faster..
hahah
but seriously he cant drive worth a fuck so why even compare?
That wasn't drifting , thats how yank motors really handle
Because you can Morph darling?

*50hp - wasn't me, keyboard moved.
I liked 50ho's better....
Nothing like throwing them into curves and planting it.
Fries, just because you dirty limey pieces of shit do not know how to under steer a rear wheel drive (real) vehicle...
And stop calling us all Yanks. I was not born and raised in Virginia to be called a fucking Yank.
Box, the skill of driving rear wheel drive cars is in controlled over steer. this car has a live rear axle and cheap suspenion so cant put is power down evenly round a corner. ending in the inside wheel screaming for help and the car not turning properly
Bull.. a horse has 2.8 horse power.
FUCK-a-MUSTANG!!!! "i got mine with the Bow tie"..Chevy Power!!!
Cracked
Heads
Every
Valve
Rattles
Oil
Leaks
Every
Time.
Oh God, let's not start that shit.
My ElCamino would blow the hell out of this track. But American cars are more or less meant for drag racing, not circle tracks.
Horse power is a relative term. The engine may have 300hp, but depending on the transmission and accessories, it may not put out much usable power.
WTF? Of course a horse can flip a bitch faster than a car. what did that prove? that's like saying a mouse can spin tighter circles than a cheetah and there for, cheetahs are over rates
*rated
Junk.
this wasnt really a fair comparison as the horse had to take the longer route going on the outside of that track
That would have made perfect sense, except for the fact that the horse was FASTER!
thanks for posting the worlds most pointless retarded "experiment" romeo. go suck off a horse
agreed
I'll stick with a volvo(They still make there own engines).As for american cars then what about the corvete.
You sure about that? Last time I checked, Renault supplied the engines. What's more, under the skin, the Volvo S40, Renault Laguna and Mitsubishi Carisma are the same car. Volvo Cars are owned by Ford.

I'll give you the charisma but that is because it was co-designed with Volvo.The plant in the Netherlands was owned by both companies at the time.
Truth of the matter is, you don't know what you're buying these days. Between them, Ford, VAG and GM own or part own about 90% of the car manufacturers, which is fine until there's a downturn in the market.
