Seemed pretty quick in NFS Most Wanted...

Has to be one of these.

Could be to do with the Chinese language not being based on the Latin alphabet that practically all Western languages evolved from. Many Chinese simply can't read alphabets. Pretty much the same as how you could read and take a stab at pronouncing, say, German words based on the letters, but feel hopelessly lost and…

God, I'm Asian and your mandarin is better than mine! >:(

Are you an expat living in China, by any chance?

Actually, it's not an SV. I've seen this car in person before, it's just a regular LP640 with (I think) an Edo Competition kit.

Sadly, rubbernecking is one of the things Singaporeans do best.

Were you really? That's fascinating. Did being his backup mean you had to go through all the same practice sessions and training that he did?

Presumably you'd then be in a position to answer this question that's been bugging me for ages - when you're in the air in a truck like this or a rally car, does it make a…

You mean this?

Anyone else here thinks that sounded like John Hindhaugh from Radio LeMans ?

Went to the 'Ring last month. Anyone know what this is?

Not quite road-legal, but it is being driven on a road!

Can I just say, that including most diesel passenger cars (like VW TDIs) is quite unfair, since their low bhp figures don't tell the whole performance story? With the amount of torque they have, underpowered they certainly are not.

so you want him to run over his kids when they're 12? ;)

Changing a tyre? Pah, that's nothing. Couple nights ago I met with a few friends for dinner, and one of them mentioned to me he'd rear-ended someone recently. Being the nice car-guy that I am, as we were leaving I asked him to open the bonnet so I could check for any damage behind the bumper.

Getting served, Richard Branson-style:

Brake lights on = fun-sapping stability control?

Nope, too me at least, it definitely looks like he was turning right. The car even starts to pivot right a little bit just before flying off the road. But like you said, could be the dust or something creating the illusion.

Looks to me that that was simply the point he realised he should be going right, and turned the steering wheel (in vain) in that direction
