Like, "So?" It's a commercial for Tesla, it's not like the driver of the 911 is the Stig.

Besides, Porsche has electric car models too, use those in the same price bracket for a more apple-to-apple comparison.

Some people is drinking too much Musk-Aid to think this is in any way significant.

Interesting backstory to this diver Stig Pryds - like many other people , he cured his arthritis by ditching meat and dairy.

He's supposed to be in a wheelchair and on medication.

He started swimming as therapy for his arthritis too, and turns out he's the worlds best freediver......which no doubt makes him talented, but when you think about how not eating cholesterol (only in meat/dairy/eggs/fish) will clean out your arteries, it's no wonder his blood is able to stay oxygenated for longer periods. Along with eating greens, he'll be around 20% more efficient at utilizing oxygen and creating energy.

I wonder if he'll be in the upcoming James Cameron's Game Changers documentary.

They probably developed this after the Stig destroyed the first one.

that's the next Stig in training

Holy shit, the Stig has spawned!

A quite *skillful baby stig.

Drivers mentioned in youtube description: Ari Vatanen Walter Rohrl Stig Blomqvist Hannu Mikkola Colin McRae Marcus Grönholm Gigi Galli Sebastien Loeb Jari-Matti Latvala Petter Solberg Gilles Panizzi Mads Östberg Michèle Mouton Leszek Kuzaj Emil Triner
From what I know none of them drove Porsche for rallies, maybe Walter Rohrl drove on (tarmac) tracks. Other than that, I can't help you here unfortunately. Maybe you figure it out and let me know.>> ^Enzoblue:

Awesome sift. Wish the drivers named where there though. I recognized some, but really want to know who was driving the red porsche through the 8:00 min. That guy had skillz.

Thanks, Updated the embed code to the better quality version.

The only good things about American cars I've heard them say in a while were that the Cadillac CTS-V was pretty good (well, the suspension was developed at the Nordschleife, if you can get it around there you can't be too far off), Jeremy liked the ZR1 (at first, he's changed his mind since), Hammond liked the Challenger (he would...) and that the new Camaro isn't horrible (but that's an Australian car, all the important bits are by Holden). Have there been other remarks I've missed/forgotten?>> ^arghness:

Good coverage, missed out many observations about Americans and their vehicles, or Stig's American cousin.
In fairness, Top Gear seems to have had more good things to say about American cars recently.

I thought the The Stig had unmasked himself.

White stig is toast.... so.... bets on the new one... im guessing maybe green.

Is that The Stig?

You know if I was really trying to decide between the Veyron and the F1, I think I'd have to take the Bugatti... and then I'd hire the Stig as my chauffeur so he could rocket me around the streets of Dubai while drinking my champagne smoothie and eating my Wagyu-truffle-caviar burger in the back.
