Posted by Hootan Mahallati | November 19, 2009 | In audi videos

By now, any TopGear fan is used to Jeremy Clarkson’s superlatives every time he drives a “sensational” car with its “astonishing” engine. But the man HAS driven just about every great car made over the past few decades, and then some.

So when Jezza calls a car “the best car I’ve ever driven,” you take notice. What is the object of his ultimate lust? None other than the V10 Audi R8 5.2. Watch the video to hear the words from the horse’s mouth. Before you do, here is a refresher of the vital stats:

Engine: 5.2L V10
Power: 525 hp @ 8000 rpm (8700 rpm redline)
Torque: 391 lb-ft @ 6500 rpm
0-60mph: 3.7s
Top speed: 196 mph
