You have to remember: EVO=Japan Noble=England
They are just doing a commercial for Noble!

One other thing, on the other show "Top Gear" wasn't the FQ-400 listed higher on the lap board? I'll have to check it out to be sure.

Thats the stupidest thing I have read on this thread.... the faster the car the faster the rating, as you said around the test track the mr fq 400 was faster than everything sans slr, koenigsegg, enzo and a couple others.

Was that even a Noble M400 to begin with? There are also countless other variables in laptimes - for example weather and track conditions. And yes, FQ400 should be a lot laggier than a standard evo as reviewed in Top Gear.
