Default Name of song commonly on TOP GEAR

There is a song that is used in top gear quite often. It is a very epic sounding song with no words although there are vocals. More specifically it is played at the end of the segment on the diesel s-type at the nurburgring. If anyone knows the name of this song and can tell me I would really really appreciate it.

Thank You
Steve

yes that is one that i wanted to know, thankyou but the one i really want to know is being played when jeremy finally gets a under ten minute lap time, like right when he crosses the line it is playing. It almost sounds like
opera

^^ the Adagio For Strings song is a remix. Original composer is Samuel Barber. DJ Tiesto did a really good remix of it too.

I'm a huge fan of the Top gear songs, even emailing them to see if they'll tell me what they are!

most i can identify, but there are some really great ones that i cannot.

anyone know the one for the Aston Martin DB9 vs The Train video?

Man, i have been searching the net everywhere for the name of this song. They play it also when they announce the vauxhall monaro to be the surprise car of the year. Very epic sounding but it is not adagio for strings. Sorry i dont know which song is used in the db9 v train segment.

One song commonly used in top gear is: Battle Without Honor or Humanity - Tomoyasu Hotei

it is on the kill bill soundtrack #9

i would also like to know what is used in the 612 v areoplane race. It is the epic sounding peice that plays throughout including when Jezza gets pulled by the French fuzz.
