Isn't the NSX amazing for just 3.2 litres.
You can tell Lamborginis are made by a company with it's roots in agricultural equipment. They weigh 1.8 tons !

Hehe - well there is an alternative view of the video - provided by my mate who has a 360 and I taunted him a bit about the CSL up against his Prancing Horse....

I quote his email to me -

"Interesting, run in Japan and the NSX almost wins - yeah right, the 911TT
cant get away from a CSL - yeah right, and why did the 360 lead and then go
into reverse.

The 911GT3rs and the 360CS did same time around the top gear track, both
faster than the 911TT and the Gallardo, the stock 360 is only 3secs slower
than a CS around fiorano. its all in the driving and what you trying to
show. The Gallardo also supposedly kicks the murcis @ss.

But hey the CSL is one wicked car and I know its neck in neck..."

I heard a Diablo up close and personal the other day, and I couldn't care how much it weighs -- I want one just for the engine noise... :bounce:

What crap!!!

Its common knowledge that a GT3 or GT3RS to prove a point, is Porsches version of a track car. It is way quicker than a TT on a track, on a road point to point :twisted: now thats a different story.........mind you Lambo's 8-)

As always when you know/see all the facts, the outcome can be to anyones desired finish..

ie Top Gear on the Beach Porsche, Jaguar, 645, WTF :head:

I think they aimed to pick cars of the same price, yet they didn't even pick the normal XK8 which is the nearer the price of the 645, they picked the XKR which was £8k more...
