The Prince of the Top Gear Test Track

2012 McLaren MP4-12C
You guys remember that rumor of the McLaren going almost a second faster than the king of the Top Gear test track, the Ariel Atom 500 V8? Well, it's not true. But, don't count McLaren out for a second. It might not be faster than an Atom 500 or more exciting than its rival, the 458 Italia. But, it's more comfortable, more scientific, more powerful, and, in a straight line, faster than both of them. On the track, new STIG took the MP4-12C and set a valid time of 1:16.2, just 1.1 seconds more than the Atom 500. So it really isn't an Atom Smasher as I've described it before. But, it is a Ferrari killer as it was proved to run almost 3 seconds faster than it. Well done McLaren. Anyway, the other exciting things that happened on Top Gear...
