Top Trumps: Top Gear Cool Cars Quiz

Answer: The Stig

The Stig is an anonymous test driver whose lap times are recorded for the vehicles featured on the show at the Top Gear Test Track in Dunsfold Park. He is pictured in the foreground of the cover card. Behind him is a red Ford GT.

Answer: Koenigsegg CCX

The Top Speed of the Koenigsegg CCX is 245 mph. The Zonda comes in a distant second at 214 mph, followed by the Murcielago at 211 mph. The Top Speed of the Versione Corse is 203 mph, a rating which would also be trumped by the Mercedes SLR McLaren (208), the Ford GT (205), and the Porsche Carrera GT (205).

Answer: Ariel Atom

According to Top Trumps rules, the player with the best value wins the hand. The best value is usually the higher value, but in this case it's not. The Ariel Atom posts the best record in the 0-60 category with a time of 2.7 secs. Conversely, the Brera posts the worst record for acceleration with 8.6 secs in the 0-60 category.

Answer: Aston Martin DB9

According to the profile, the presenters claim that the Aston Martin DB9 "could handle like a supermarket trolley and it would still be the only car so cool [they] had to put it in a special fridge". It is the only card in the deck to receive a 10 in the Cool Rating category. Aston Martin has evidently produced some very cool cars, with all of its representatives in the deck scoring high.

The DBS and Vanquish S join Alfa Romeo's Brera in the second spot with a 9 each.

Answer: Porsche

Aston Martin, BMW, and Ford are each well represented with three vehicles in the deck. For Aston Martin, it's the DB9, DBS, and Vanquish S. BMW is represented by the Z4 M, 535d, and M3 CSL, and Ford by the GT, Shelby Cobra GT500, and Focus ST. Porsche, Lotus, and Mercedes each bring two cars to the deck.

Answer: Koenigsegg CCX

The Koenigsegg CCX holds the best ratings in the Top Speed (245 mph), Power (850 bhp), and Stig Lap Time (1:17.6) categories. It is the only card with a high rating in more than one category.

Answer: Lotus Exige S

As it happens, Jeremy lost to the gunship, "but that's only because Apache's are super-deadly and Clarkson is a silly show off, not because of the car". The match up is legitimized in the profile with reference to the Exige's light weight, supercharged engine, and precision handling, all of which presumably add up to it being "as agile as a fly".

Answer: Maserati MC12 Versione Corse

At 668,995 pounds, the Versione Corse is the most expensive vehicle in the deck by far. The Koenigsegg CCX trails in second at 420,000, and the Zonda and McLaren follow at 335,100 and 317,700, respectively.

Answer: there are no "n/a" values in the deck

In the case of a tie, the rules stipulate that the situation be resolved the same way as for the case described in the question. The cards will be placed in the center, and the player who called the previous statistic will call again from the new card. The player with the trump will take all.

Answer: Dodge Viper SRT-10

The Viper is shown driving past what appears to be a cafe of some sort. If you look closely, you'll notice a silver car parked on the curb side in the rear of the image.
