Beavis Posted June 7, 2008 Share Posted June 7, 2008 In the new series of Topgear that starts on June 22. A race between Clarkson in the GT-R and Hammond and May in the 186mph Bullet train in Japan. Don't know when this episode will be shown though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I might be wrong but I think commuter trains in Japan run in excess of 300mph. 186 is the highest we have achieved in the uk (PATHETICALLY) on the channel tunnel rail link Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They have done test runs faster but this speed is for every day use. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Andy Posted June 8, 2008 Share Posted June 8, 2008 They might have left the handbrake on I suppose Can't wait for the new series to start! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WoREoD Posted June 8, 2008 Share Posted June 8, 2008 Saw the NMGB UK-registered GT-R yesterday. Apparently it was prepared for Top Gear to try but TG decided they wanted to do a bigger feature and set off to Japan......... Even Jezza must be impressed.....
