Clarkson reviews GT86 in new issue of Top Gear Magazine
 
1 Attachment(s)
Jezza and the Stig reportedly review 24 performance cars in the latest issue of Top Gear:
http://www.topgear.com/uk/car-news/t...week-2012-7-17

There's a teaser video included on the page, including Clarkson sitting in and describing the drifting capabilities of the GT-86 at about 1:31.

Can't wait to pick up this issue!

Just saw that little while ago on the Top Gear fb page. It looks exciting! Can't wait to read what they all have to say about the GT-86/FRS/BRZ :)

"normally you run out of the ability to hold the slide... but this doesn't"

Truth is, supercar figures usually require super-strength technology, and, during Speed Week, we found ourselves endlessly drawn to cars with much more humble vital statistics but a more involving way of delivering them.
Somehow, I think I know which car came out on top ;-)

^ I hope I know too... LoL. :respekt:

Those lines and the positioning of the 86 in the dead center of the cover has me mildly optimistic.

Seeing some of the other cars there... I'm not expecting the GT86 to 'win'. I'm sure Clarkson will like it...but even in terms of 'soul', a few cars I spotted have it handily beat (granted, at a MUCH higher price point)

You have a valid perspective... It's nice to know that it was recognized along with such great performing cars though.

Is it out in the US magazine store yet?

Good question. I may give the local Barnes and Noble a call prior to stopping by later this week. I assume this would be the August issue, unless they do things differently over in the UK.

I can not wait to check this issue. I do hope in the new season the GT86 will be in one of the episodes.

Somebody find that may and get some scans up asap!

Wow. That is great honor for the GT86.

Although I will keep my expectations grounded. Like it has been said already, there are many cars in that line up worthy of the top spot.
