Need help from Top Gear watchers.

My bro said he saw an episode of Top Gear recently where some car was so fast the drivers mouth was pulling back from the g-force. They were racing the car vs. a Ferrari Enzo for bragging rights to the top of their chart. It ended up placing one spot below the Enzo. He doesn't know what the car was called, so I was hoping someone could tell me what it's called. Or if possible a link to a video.

this isnt G-Force to me .. more like the air/wind was too strong (coz of the speed).. with the real G-Force .. most of the time you are finding hard to open your mouth (read from a Jet fighter magazine)


but this pic looks funny ~
