Typical worthless Yahoo article. Lap times? Hello? Lap times? They took two rather expensive cars to a freaking race track and didn't bother with some lap times? WTF?

Speaking of lap times, here are some from the Top Gear test track:

1. Pagani Huayra (rwd): 1:13.8
2. BAC Mono (rwd): 1:14.3
3. Ariel Atom V8 (rwd, on a moist track): 1:15.1
4. McLaren MP4-12C (rwd): 1:16.2
5. Lamborghini Aventador (awd): 1:16.5
6. Bugatti Veyron Super Sport (awd): 1:16.8
7. Gumpert Apollo S (rwd): 1:17.1
8. Ascari A10 (rwd): 1:17.3
9. Koenigsegg CCX (rwd): 1:17.6
10. Noble M600 (rwd): 1:17.7

Eight of the top ten, including the top four are rwd, and two are awd. FWD is conspicuous by its absence. Oh, there's one:

107(If I counted right). Renault Megane RenaultSport Cup 265 (fwd): 1:27.7
