Doubt there's ever been a more feral road-legal car, produced before or since. Even more so than the original Viper. The 90s were simply insane for hypercars
"flat out through Abbey but it's not easy" is very understated for Tiff. Nuff respecte for driving like that in that car. Great video. Cheers for uploading.
One of the most dangerous handling cars ever made!!! And look, only one and only legend tiff needle taking it to its limit in the wet!!!! No 1else can drive this car like him. Fact!!!! Love you tiff. No1 fan xx The real real top gear stigg!!!!!!!!!!
I just watched this in my collection. Had to find this and comment. What a rip! Tiff, you're a Driving God. Us pleebs will never get a better tour, even 29 years later. Not just Silverstone, but the experience in general. Real time narration of a hot lap in a V12 wrapped in scaffolding, AWEsome! 450 HP in 1991 looks like a helluva lot more fun than 1000 HP does nowadays. Yer just spankin' that Kitty. Effort is a lost art. I get an adrenaline rush just watching this. I want to have a go! It feels better than watching some rich Pud toss his Million Dollar car around the Nordschleife. Imagine a few tweaks to this chassis to get the power down? It'd run with the new stuff. 3 decades later. It would be a still be a handful and make for way better racing.
Oh look, it's William Woolard. I remember seeing that pillock standing on the outside of the Esses bend right alongside the tarmac at Prescott Hill Climb talking to camera... WHAT A TWAT! You never get a car running onto the grass when you want one...
This car was fitted with F40 rear tyres which was a stop gap as the Bridgestone tyres were not ready. The result was not enough traction and epic oversteer. The correct tyres transformed the handling.
Thing this will get more views after Lenos eppisode about the car :D Amazing car!! Maby the pipes should go out throu the vent on the back like a Scuderia or Performante type of car ;D
Apparently there were 3 'LM' variants knocking out 700+bhp from a 7.4L V12, the std 450bhp model did 0-60 in 3.2s and had a gear ratio ltd top speed of 191mph.
I don't know what it is, but supercars from the 80s and 90s are my favorite. I know modern cars are "better" but all my dream cars are from that era - f40, f50, GTO, xjr-15, 220, f1, countach, diablo, etc. the only super car I like after 2000 is the Ford GT.
