    Cessna has been selling flying Caravans for years.

    It really stung me seeing that HPE being mauled on the dirt track like that, but it did look an awful lot of fun. And Betas in average condition are worthless these days, anyway.

    Still need me a Gamma Coupe, with a Subie WRC lump in place of teh Lancia flat-four...

    @Mobius: Anyways, that was a fantastic episode, and very, very entertaining, and the Lancia segments were the most educational in this series yet. Stratos and Delta Integrale FTW.

    Although, when Clarkson was saying the greatest won 10 WRC titles, I was thinking about Citroen. They ought to be somewhere on that list as well. DS, 2CV, and I'm sure some innovative and obscure cars.

    It would be a really special edition if Mr. Balboni would include some driving lessons as part of the price--or least some survival lessons, because this bugger will most definitely kill you.

    That rear end is pure dragon bait.

    Sweet. I'd love to get one of those. It's cheaper, more slidey and insane, more exclusive and better looking than a "plain" (another inappropriate use of an adjective regarding a supercar) LP560-4.



    Wonder if Porsche will release a 911 GT2 Walter Rohrl edition? With less power and 2 less driver wheels and a lower price tag?

    @Syrax: Actually, that "2 less driver wheels" was supposed to be strikethrough as an attempt at humour. But I fail pretty badly at using the right tags.



    But this GT2 conversation, just a quick poll, what would you rather have?



    I'd personally take the Gallardo, probably because I watch too much Top Gear, and London is more or less full of normal 911s. A Gallardo is just more awesome in terms of looks, especially to people not so into cars.

    It kind of sucks to have your tribute Lamborghini called the "budget option" Lamborghini.


    Let's call it the "sport" Lamborghini.


    Or in the spirit of Lamborghini, we'll give it a long name. The "F*ck-off I don't need all-wheel-drive Lamborghini Valentino Balboni Get Shorty Edition."

    Finally, the kind of Lamborghini that has a desire to KILL YOU has returned.


    No more of this namby-pamby four-wheel-drive nonsense.


    I bet the first few show up wrecked within hours of release. We all know most Lambo owners are lifetime members of the "More Money Than Brains" club.


    If I win the lotto, sign me up for one of these death machines.

    @pleco believes in FOTA: this still has ESP.. so it's more like a wicked 6 flags coaster.. oh sure you think your gonna die, but then the liability lawyers in the engine compartment dial things down to minor cuts and bruises not worthy of a 6 figure settlement.


    So the Viper will remain as the "most likely to kill you" champion, with this coming in a distant second.
