This is clearly the highlight of the video. Tuvarish can barely speak and he's just casually chatting on. Stig is obviously feeling out the limits of the car - not pushing by his respects and that is just jaw dropping to your average driver (even one who likes fixing cars and makes/watches youtube vids). Best part of the video and makes the whole thing (I mean the rest was OK but somewhat dribbly and drawn out as you would expect on a 2ndary channel).

Definitely looked like a bucket-list moment, looks like even the UK weather was kind to you, hope we get to see on these shores again, perhaps even for meet-ups events.

@wowdogeful Жыл бұрын

It gets a lot of hate because it's in many ways a worse car than its predecessor. The EP3 Type R had the same power, it weighs considerably less and it still has independent rear suspension while this one switched to torsion beam suspension to reduce costs. All the Type R models after that were heavier still, but they at least had the engine power to match and, while their design was in many ways questionable, the aero was very much functional.
