@ AL123

I tend to disagree with you on that one.
To be quite frank I can't remenber any footage of TG presenters actually slipping and sliding in factory supplied 'super' cars for quite some time now. When they 'test' a supercar on their track it is nearly always a privately owned one.
well the enzo was privately owned, not sure about the CGT, SLR etc...... who knows my point was that they don't film press launches that often they seem to prefer waiting to get hold of one that they can give the full treatment, including stig test
i guess it depends on your defenition of a supercar... but what about the F430, the Spyker C8, Ford GT? those three are cirtainly factory press cars.
Yup well I suppose it depends on how confident the manufacturer is they will get a good review/ compare well to the equivilant competitors when given the top gear treatment. Certainly i think the show is all the better for not going to loads of press launches/ foriegn short tests where they can't do everything they want to
