Top Gear shows off at the Isle of Man
July 5, 2008 by George Skentzos
In the past, CarAdvice has been privileged enough to drive some of the world’s most expensive and exclusive supercars – just not all at once.
One keen-eyed fan has recently spied the Top Gear team shooting on the Isle of Man with a fleet of performance cars worthy of any self-respecting Sheik’s garage.
Among the list is a very familiar Aston Martin DBS – the exact same car CarAdvice drove just months ago on our Full Throttle whirlwind tour of Europe.
You can watch our Aston Martin DBS video review below:
Also making the list is the new Nissan GT-R, Audi RS6 Avant, Porsche 911 GT2 and even a John Cooper Works MINI.
In case you didn’t already know, the Isle of Man is one of the few glorious places left around the world without speed limits on some of its roads.

please tell me the mini gets blown up or something!!
Oh my God. It’s a dream come true. I didn’t know about this place. No speed limits? I would like to try something like that.
Yeah! What is the pesky Mini doing in that bunch?Unfortunately,the last time I saw a Top Gear episode on The Isle of Man it was raining.It seems no different in this upcoming episode :( Can’t wait to see it though!
Sexy!
Did they have a TRD Hilux…..?
The mini does look very out of place. But speaking of out of place, how pedestrian does the audi look compared to its slicker rivals……..
Anyone agree?
That Aston Martin is one hot looking car. Love to get my hands on one of those
Yeh mini just dosent look right among this group. This is when the gtr will realy shine in bad weather like this thats the one good thing about this car dosent matter what the conditions are it will still fly . Yep im with you crouchy this audi dose put me to sleep a little
Just love the shape of that aston talk about beautiful body
They should have replaced the MINI with a Ferrari or a Lambo.
Nussan GTR FTW!
I’m guessing there are a few people responding here that have never driven a MINI, haha.
I have driven mini and not saying its bad car fun to drive just dosent look up to spec or go as good as these cars around it
Crouchy & Top Dog – you could say the same about the Lexus being there as well ISF or not. Thats even more of a yawn than the RS4 whcih isn;t exactly yawn. One of the nicest sounding car on the planet.
why shouldnt the lexus isf be there it is one of the most sort after supercars currently around! it eats the rs4 audi and would do the same to most cars (except the nissan) in this group! maybe the mini is a pace car!
just wanted to know if i am right qabout the blue n yellow car its buggin me is the yellow 1 the zo6 n the blue 1 an eno 8 ??? i have named the rest as the merc black the dbs mini cooper s gt2 lexus rx700 i think
YO original g-unit of isle of man i her to represent all the the homies on the reed side without these cars we would not of seen the other side of isle of man
p.s the nussan is known as the ISLE OF MAN
The Mini isn’t a slouch, with the Works engine in, but I’m not sure it could keep up with any of the others in that pack.. Not sure it deserves a place there. But that is a gorgeous line up.
