Also Jeremy neglected to mention how the back sits can fit 2 adults... with no arms no legs.

Fun little review from the "pokey little motoring show" that's not so little or pokey anymore

This season has been a lot of fun in general - new Aston Martin Vanquish, anyone?

While I'm in no way discounting the GT86s laptime, you have to remember that the E46 was lapped by the black (first) Stig, and he was a bit slower than current Stig. Also, I'm convinced that this third Stig is an even faster driver than the second Stig. So the lap times are a *bit* skewed.

Still a mighty impressive time in the wet. But come on guys, who are we kidding? Clarkson said it himself in the video: who give's about lap times, really?? That's not what this car is about!

Nice review and I enjoyed the GT500 race as well. Talk about extreme opposite cars.

After watching the episode lastnight i tried to search for the genesis coupe top gear time lap but can't find any not even an episode or clip of it on youtube. Anybody know whats the time lap of the genesis coupe on the topgear track?

I would much rather watch it on TV, but I may have to skip an episode for this one.

Yes, BBCA is behind by a week.

Top Gear never tested the Genesis Coupe.

Not sold in the UK. In fact, I think it could be a US only model?

Here is a working link for the video

No "w" designation on the end of the track time. Wonder why.

I realize this isn't exactly what you're looking for, but it is a comparison:

Thank god.... I am really over the 350Z thing... My friend also has one and I'm so over him telling me that it is soo much faster....

Me too.

I re-watched it and I'm wondering if that time was from another lap (when the track was a bit dryer). This car really shouldn't be faster than ~1:31, and I wouldn't put it past Top Gear to show video from one lap and a time from another.
