"Now, every car we put out on our test track is gonna be driven as hard and as fast as possible so that, throughout the series, we can keep track of all the times."

"It's about a 2,000-rpm launch, and he just pulls away from there, no problem." "Hard on the brakes through turn 1." "Now, this does look like a massive car going through the tightest chicane on the track, called the southern chicane." "Stig kicking up a little bit of a roost into the slowest portion of the track, the teardrop." "Now, coming out of the teardrop..." "Very difficult with a car with so much horsepower to avoid wheel spin and opposite lock." "Let's see if the Stig can do it here." "Yes, second gear puts the power down." "Amazingly efficient out of that particular corner." "150 miles an hour on the saightaway." "Now, I'm told that, at 150, this car creates 1,000 pounds of downforce, and he is using all of it as he grinds down onto the brakes into cameraman's corner." "Little sawing at the wheel there." "Bit of a sketchy moment for the Stig, but he pulls it off." "Fastest section of the track." "Coming into the final corner, finding a gear there." "This is gonna be an amazing time." "And..." "Across the line." "Now, this really is virtually a racecar with license plates." "So, being our first car on here," "I can tell you... you'll just have to trust me on this... this was an amazing time, going to be the benchmark, one of the times to beat, for sure... a 1:22.0." "Wow." "[ Cheers and applause ]" "Doesn't seem fair to have that as the first car out." "I mean, that's a pretty high target." "Especially for a car that's that hard to drive..."

"You've had many, many cars, but your first car... when you graduated west point, you got a '51 Chevy?" "They weren't too expensive in those days." "And you had a '56 DKW." "Right." "That's a 3-cylinder, 2-cycle." "So, you got to mix the oil?" "You got to put the oil in with the gasoline." "I thought it was a good combination of interesting and a sports car, and it really wasn't too much of either one." "[ Laughter ]" "And you had an Austin-Healey sprite?" "Oh, that was neat." "That was nice." "Bug-eyed sprite?" "How did it ride... the sprite?" "Very smooth until you got on those Boston cobblestones, and then it's kind of hard on the rear end." "Yeah." "And you had a '70 Saab Sonett?" "Oh, that was a nice little car." "You liked that one?" "Real low to the ground..." "it was kind of a hotshot car." "Then we moved on to a Corvair convertible." "That was sort of mellow for a new astronaut to drive a Corvair." "The top-dog "right stuff" guys were all driving their corvettes." "Right." "Yeah." "So, I graduated to a corvette a little bit later." "What did you think of the Suzuki when you took it around our track?" "That's a swift little car." "Swift?" "Swift..." "Well, swift enough for that track." "Want to see how you did?" "I'd love to see how I did." "Let's take a look." "Yeah." "[ Tires screech ] Lift-off!" "[ Laughs ] I'm sorry." "I couldn't resist."

"This is the slowest part of our track." "Oh, he's got a camera there, and here's a bold guy out with another camera." "I know it's hard to see with the cameras in the way, but we can't see you without them." "Maybe we can even try fifth gear here..." "Except I don't think that's fifth." "I think I went back to third again." "That's okay." "It's got plenty of gears." "A curve here, then accelerate out." "There's the big hand." "[ Laughs ]" "Okay, now coming into the final." "There's the tires." "And left turn and..." "Crossed the line!" "[ Cheers and applause ]" "How do you think you did..." "any idea?" "I got better and better." "Well, I can guarantee you this..."

"I think Adam is too fearless for his own good." "[ Engine revving ]" "There he goes." "Thrust mode!" "[Bleep]" "[Bleep]" "[Bleep]" "[Bleep]" "150." "Oh, he grabbed another gear after all of that." "160." "165." "170." "Man." "Good God, was that fun!" "That sounded faster than 175, though." "I'm just saying." "How would you know?" "You know, 'cause you can tell from the - you don't... mnh-mnh." "I'm sorry, man." "Sorry." "You lost." "I, uh..." "Take it with pride, dignity." "173's really fast." "I'm proud of you." "It's just not 175." "Well, we heard you..." "you didn't lift." "[ Chuckles ] He looks happy." "So, did you do it?" "180." "[ Laughs ]" "Rutledge, that sucks." "You said, right before it went, "he's too fearless for his own good."" "Let me hear the words "plastic" now." "Wow." "Have you ever been that fast in your life?" "No." "You're shaking!" "Yeah, let's see your hand." "[ Laughing ] That's cool." "That's a legit 180." "That's cool." "T:" "That shaking is near death." "That could be it." "You know what it might be?" "It might be victory over Tanner." "A lot of people don't get that feeling." "I did." "I mean, we've shared it." "You and I both did." "This is a good day." "And you beat Tanner." "Yeah." "And I beat Tanner." "Yeah." "But..." "You did come in third." "I think I'm gonna go be sick." "I'm gonna call my wife." "I want to go back in the car." "[ Applause ]" "Unbelievable." "You over it yet?" "Not at all." "Perfect." "I mean, the fact is that I fried the tires." "If I didn't do all the drifting..." "This is great." "I'm gonna get you a prize for being the man to come up with the worst excuse for losing a race in a Lamborghini ever." "[ Laughter ]" "[ Mockingly ] "It was the tires!"" "[ Mockingly ] "If I didn't go so fast..." "I blame myself, really." "I was driving sideways all day."" "That's fun." "The important thing is not how fast we went in these cars... the important thing is how fast the cars went around the track." "And that we both went faster than you." "Just..." "Putting that out there." "That's very important." "I agree with the first part, which is why the Stig did take all of these cars around the track." "You guys want to see the times?" "All:" "Yeah!" "Okay." "The Balboni did a 1..." "a very respectable 1:26.9." "Wow." "Puts it right in there." "Yes." "But the Murciélago SV did a 1:23.4." "There we go." "There we go." "Well, that's all we've got for this show." "Oh, no." "Oh, no." "Oh, no." "Oh, no." "My car." "Oh, yeah." "That one, uh..." "Did actually go around the track one time." "Yes." "The question is, how fast?" "Well, we've got that lap on tape." "Anybody want to see it?" "[ Cheers] Yeah." "Take it away, Stig." "Foust:" "And he's off." "Launch control on this thing puts it zero to 60 in somewhere around 3.5 seconds." "It's really an incredibly quick car." "Carbon brakes, as he cranks it in." "Stig really pushing this one." "This car weighs under 3,000 pounds, so it's incredibly nimble, even though he's getting a little bit of understeer through the chicane." "Stig... just another day at the office, as he cranks into the teardrop." "Now, this is the tightest section on the track." "2-wheel-drive cars have a problem in this particular corner to get the power down... not the Superleggera, as it races up to 140 miles an hour on the straightaway." "Just flying by the tires on that one." "Now, this is the sketchiest part of the track with the bump midcorner, 140 down to the zero." "You can actually see sparks coming out of the front as those carbon brakes are working." "S working, also, inside." "Little wag of the tail as he comes out of cameraman's corner." "As he comes in the last corner, getting a little bit of rotation this time." "And across Ferrara:" "Yes!" "It looked very good." "It did." "That was so fast, it changed colors." "[ Laughter ]" "The time on that one was a blisteringly fast... 1:22.8." "My car." "My car." "[ Cheers and applause ] Thank you." "But you know what?" "For a company that started making tractors, that's pretty decent." "I would love to see in the south a John Deere sports car. [ Laughter ]"
