On Sunday Stig piloted the Ascari A10 around Top Gear's test track in just 1minute and 17.3 seconds, smashing the latest record held by the Koenigsegg CCX.

The Ascari A10 can make the 0 to 60 mph sprint in just 2.8 seconds and 0 to 100 mph in under six seconds. And the price for this supercar is of £350,000.

A few weeks ago, the Caparo T1 lapped our track even quicker than the Ascari but was disqualified from the power laps board because it is unable to clear a speed bump. The Ascari, on the other hand, has a raising hydraulic nose, allowing it to take its rightful place atop the board.
