The Stig went behind the wheel of a $3.5-million Aston Martin Valkyrie, and set a blistering lap time of 1 minute and 9.6 seconds around the famous Top Gear circuit at Dunsfold Aerodrome in Surrey, UK. Power comes from a naturally aspirated 6.5-liter Cosworth V12 engine producing over 1,000 horsepower, combined with a hybrid system that boosts the total output to 1,139 bhp.

Top Gear Koenigsegg Jesko Hypercar
Top Gear is no stranger to hypercars, but the Koenigsegg Jesko just might be the quickest one they’ve tested yet. Power comes from a twin-turbocharged 5.0L V8 engine that makes 1,281 hp and 738 lb-ft of torque on normal petrol, or up to 1,603 hp and 1,106 lb-ft of torque on E85 biofuel. Power is sent from a bespoke 9-speed Light Speed Transmission (LST) to the rear wheels, enabling it to hit 60 mph in just 2.5 seconds.
