Porsches and Top Gear go together like rocket fuel and liquid oxygen – something has to go "boom".
We should have said Clarkson, Hammond & May Live instead of Top Gear, but you know what they say about old habits. That's right, the trio left the BBC show that we know them for, yet are still touring the world and doing the same thing they used to.
This footage is from the same show in Belfast we shared with you guys back at the end of May, but we bet you haven't seen this yet. That's right, we have burning Porsche 911s, of the drifting kind.
This probably reminds every TG fan about that news piece they did mentioning how all supercars catch fire and making fun of Hammond's GT3 for getting recalled.
But the cars in the video aren't GT3 like the one the "Hamster" has, they're converted version of what appears to be the 996 Carreras.
What's interesting is that the fire is definitely coming from the cars themselves. Like the motorcycle in Ghost Rider, the headlights burn as if they have a soul and the road is flaming like the tires are torturing it.
What insane creations, to be able to dance with danger in such a small space without ever hurting the audience or that lovely lady with flame-throwers in the middle of the ring!
The stunt isn't actually new. In 2014, Top Gear released footage of "INFERNO", which is the same thing. Creative Director Rowland French and Stunt Driver Paul Swift are both in awe of performer Naomi Lynch stands up to the heat and almost dances with the fire. Yeah, she's okay in our book too!
Mihnea's favorite cars have already been built, the so-called modern classics from the '80s and '90s. He also loves local car culture from all over the world, so don't be surprised to see him getting excited about weird Japanese imports, low-rider VWs out of Germany, replicas from Russia or LS swaps down in Florida.
