Stig Showdown: one day to go

Posted by Paul Regan at 12:20 pm on Friday August 21, 2009

UPDATE: Just one day to go before our TG GP ‘09 poll closes. If you’re not one of the 7,500 who have voted so far, get clicking.

So far, we’ve seen our tame racing driver lap the Aston Vantage V12, Ferrari 599 HGTE, KTM X-Bow, Porsche 911 GT3, Nissan 370Z, Renaultsport Clio 200 Cup and Audi R8 V10 – and our TG bloggers have downloaded all the important info from Stig, too.

So which is winning? Seems most of you agree with Jeremy’s Aston film that signed off the series earlier this month – the V12 Vantage has picked up the most votes, closely followed by the Lambo.

But we won’t close the poll until the end of next week – by which time you’ll have seen verdicts on the remaining cars (Lambo LP670-4 SV, Lotus Evora, Focus RS and McMerc SLR).

Some of these you’ll have seen lapped by Stig on our telly show, but we’ll be bring you an exclusive
SLR clip
– Stig was told to take it easy but we can promise you he did.

We’ll also have more exclusive behind the scenes galleries like this one.

Until then, keep voting. And grab a copy of the magazine – that’s got the full story on this incredible supercar showdown.

    To us average morons these cars are from another planet – expensive, rare and environmentally unsustainable. Who really cares what Stiggy does with them?

    Lets see some under ten grand cars belted round the track and use the money saved to buy us all an ice cream (to counter global warming?).

    PS Has he tried a pedal car?

    Byee!

    The Lotus Evora -a new Lotus in so many years- was featured in Top Gear TV but never shown it’s lap around the track, because some German wanted to show off in a specially prepared FXX… Very strange. So finally show the Lotus Evora on the test track!

    If the CCXR is legal, then LAP it.

    Lap the Marina and the Lada Riva and the Zzerzrz. (Zaporozhets.)

    Definately the Marina and Riva, but can you do the SSC Aero please? And a Rolls-Royce, (James’ :D .)

    The Lamborghini perfectly encapsulates the ridiculouslessness of a hypercar, partly by being really fast, but mostly by being orange with a massive rear wing

    The choise’s here are always so predictible. Aston vanquish ,bugatti veyron and a few funny guys with austin allegro’s and stuff. But no one ever vote’s for a TVR or a lotus. I’m a belgian but my god britain has got some amasing machine’s.
    I’ll vote for the TVR CERBERA styling is a matter of personal taste but for his price the luxury ,comfort ,every day use posibility and his monster of an engine … This is one of the better supercars today (of course a lamborghini ,ferrari or bentley is perhaps even better but wich normal human being can afford one of these cars in times of crisis like these)
