UK vs. Australia

Top Gear UK Hosts

Another episode of Top Gear UK has been uploaded by an anonymous user on YouTube. This episode features Top Gear UK and Top Gear Australia going head to head in a game of bests. If you have watched Top Gear Australia, most of the faces you will see are pretty familiar. Then Jeremy takes the 2011 Ferrari 599 GTO for a spin summarizing that it is a complete animal. Boris Becker, former Tennis World Champion, is the star in the reasonably priced, who is a serious fan of the Silver Arrow (Mercedes-Benz). A very interesting fact about him: he bought a very exclusive Porsche 959 for about €150,000 at the age of, get this, 19!

1987 Porsche 959

 How on earth was he able to buy that? Another interesting fact: throughout the years that he's owned that Porsche, he never crashed it. He managed to get it over 200 MPH on a highway, but he never smashed it up. He is a serious driver. He set a time of 1:45.9. That's faster than Peter Jones's time on a dry lap, all thanks to new STIG. Anyway, enough summaries. Just watch the show to see what happened.

An Animal in its Natural Habitat

2011 Ferrari 458 Challenge

That animal is a horse: a prancing horse yet at least. The all-new Ferrari 458 Challenge racer was seen strutting its stuff on the Fiorano race track recently, and as you will see, it is very fast. It's still powered by the same 562 horsepower 4.5-liter Ferrari V8 engine, but it's much lighter with racing tires, roll cage, and racing suspension. In the end, you have the fastest car ever go round the Fiorano track thrashing the record holder, a V12 Ferrari 599 GTO. Check out the video below and see just how fast this horse is.
