    French, German, Italian, and English. Sounds like they are working on their diversity.


    Oh, and if this is what the BBC meant by "budget cuts for Top Gear", bring on more cuts!

    The Bugatti's an engineering masterpiece that doesn't translate well to the track.

    The McLaren Mercedes still looks especially schlongesque.

    The Lamborghini is the closest thing to a "no-nonsense" supercar here, which is not something I'd ever have expected anyone to say.


    I'm looking forward to it.

    @aSoundofSleep: No, you're absolutely right. I was considering only the three modern ones.


    I'd still rather have a Carrera GT than any of the four. Which is the only Porsche I'd ever rather have over anything, really.

    I thought they said a few months back that they wouldn't be able to afford any more high-priced episodes revolving around exotic cars? Funny, could it all have been bait-n-switch, just like every other scoop we've had about the behind-the-scenes of Top Gear?

    @Deartháir: I thought they said they'd have to cut the budget for all 13 episodes, or do 12 normal episodes and a spartan 13rd. Perhaps we can just expect this and 12 episodes where they review 1.6L Sierras and Honda-based Rovers, all filmed on a cell phone camera.

    @Deartháir: Didn't Clarkson also offer that they could do a bunch of expensive episodes and then the last one of the series for one-pound-fifty? They did that once at the end of I think series four, and the result was hilarious.

    Some say he's got ice in his veins, which is technically a Class-A felony in Dubai and therefore we may not be hearing from The Stig much over the next 20 years.

    Taking a page out of Graverobber's book I agree that with 660hp, it really ought to go faster than 209.


    Lamborghinis used to be known for being outrageous, nowadays they're civilized, DRIVEABLE by the average joe. And then 209mph. What's outrageous about that?! A Koenigsegg doesn't have that much more power and can go well into the 240MPH range. But 209? Really? Is that all you could muster?


    I miss the old Lambo, the one lacking any kind of logic or concern for safety. This car is not the Countach, even though it does sport stick-on downforce parts.

    "Ladies and Gentlement, Mr. Stephen Winkelman"


    "Good evening, ladies (wink, wink) and gentlemen. Today is a monumental day in the history of Automobili Lamborghini, as monumental as the day when the great Ferrucio started stuffing V12's into tractors."


    *general laughter*


    "We have been taking a good look at our environmental impact, and suffice to say, a Murcielago isn't as economical as a Prius, even though it probably is less damaging to make one and transport one. Unless you take a private cargo jet to change its oil, that is."


    *more laughter, camera shutters"


    "Our environmental team has studied our environmental problems closely and concluded there are other huge worries alongside global warming, which many still claim to be a falsity. The problem that I am about to divulge upon shall lead to far more suffering, it will lead to famine, to wars, to the apocalypse."


    *Gasp! Wide eyes staring*


    "This plight, ladies and gentlemen, is the decline of bees population."


    *lols, rofls, lmaos, roflmaos*


    "The evidence strongly suggests that there will be a shortage of food due to the lack of bees pollinating plants, and we all know what happens when food becomes short and primal instincts take over. This is much worsened by the existence of nuclear weapons in the hands of many nations."


    *more lols, rofls, lmaos, roflmaos, a couple of concerned faces now*


    "Well, fear no more. Lamborghini proudly presents the Murcielago LP670-4 SuperVeloce. Its many hexagonal shaped mesh intakes and cooling duct covers lead bees to believe it is actually a hive and thus begin to manifest in the vehicle. Rather than using a traditional gasoline V12 that would kill the bees with immense heat and suction, we have put a superconducting magnet in there, but limited top speed to 209mph rather than warp speed, due to intergalactic land speed restrictions. The "honey yellow" paint further lengthens its attraction to bees. We have also limited the numbers to 350, as any more than that would cause too many bee colonies and too many bees as a result, which, I'm sure you all know by now, is unpleasant in human societies, and also cause ecological imbalance. This car, research has predicted, should double the bee population around the world in just over 5 years, bringing an end to famines, allowing extended prosperity."


    *stunned faces, shock, lols*


    "Thank you, ladies and gentlemen, this concludes our presentation, good night."

    Looks sharp. I really like the honeycomb engine cover. These things just keep getting better and better looking. Kudos to the design team for keeping what is essentially the same car looking fresh year after year.


    P.S. Why can't the unveil the booth professionals in the same way that they unveil the cars? Mmmm, Lambos and boobies.

    Perhaps I'm just jaded- hell, who am I kidding, I'm totally jaded- but it seems like 660HP in something as suppository-slick in appearance as this ought to be able to do better than 209 mph. Maybe it needs a couple more gears?
