The presenters over at Top Gear have seen and driven just about every supercar that has been produced for the last decade, so it’s not surprising that the fastest lap times around their race track belong to the fastest and most powerful machines on the planet.
The list is impressive, to say the least. The Bugatti Veyron Super Sport sits on top with the Gumpert Apollo, Ascari A10, and Noble M600 following suit. Not your everyday Ferraris, people.
But as the course of history has shown us, once in a while, a modern day David arrives with a rock and a sling in hand to topple the mighty Goliaths in one fell swoop.
Weighing only 550 kg and powered by a 3.0-liter V8 engine that produces 500 horsepower, this David is by no means a pushover. It?s the Ariel Atom V8 500 and it sure made quite an impression on Top Gear.
Hit the jump for the record-breaking details!
