  Top Gear has this time ranking for the cars that they tested on their track right?
  
  Does anyone know the top few cars? especially the fastest car? I can't really see the words clearly from the youtube videos....
  
  *typo for the title... should be "featured" and not "features"*

  Why isn't it the Bugatti Veyron? I thought it has the fastest acceleration frm 0-100? Is it because that the time taken to complete the track involves a lot of other factors other than just speed?

  it's a factory offered production model. VFQ400.
  
  if it's factory tuned and offered as a production model, its a production model. Otherwise, all those supercars are in a way "tuned" as well, how u want to say which is tuned n which is not tuned?

  actually we have lots of kit cars like that in UK. Ariel is not the only one. Tublar space frame chassis kit cars with exposed tubes are very very common.

  canterham are also kit cars
  why the Mitsubishi Could outrun the lamboghini is because the mitsubishi featured was the rally version a 2 litre gasoline producing 400bhp incredible?it is!though the lamboghini is more powerful it is heavier and the gear ratios are also a deciding factor dun forget that the mitsubishi has active yaw control power is not speed.
  hope you understand

  and the EVO featured was not a rally edition. It was the VFQ400, a special limited road going edition offered by Ralliart UK. While Ralliart UK has it's roots in rallying, as a company it also deals with road going specials. The VFQ400 was one such car, not a rally edition.
