Impressive part is that it was done in Belgium. I have yet to find a strip of Belguim highway that was in good enough condition to even go half throttle without rattling your brains into mush.

That was hardly full throttle, if it was very disappointing.



Now did you guys catch Top Gear season 18 with the Aventador shooting out flames That was Epic

Atomic batteries to power

Turbines to speed

Sections of the highway from Gent to Calais are very good and my brother pushed my 550 to 250km/h there. But most are very bad, as you say.

The B-roads in the region of Bouillon and Bastogne, in the Ardennes, however, are spectacular.

It wasn't even half throttle. Clearly this person hasn't seen a 458 at full tilt.

Top Gear was great, Robert, you're right.
