A cushion. Or perhaps a pillow. Of all the things that don"t feature on the Lamborghini options list, but damn well should, this is number one.Oh dear, the seats: they"re as thickly padded as a pair of pallets. Maybe that"s what they are, y"know, under the Alcantara. I have plenty of time to appreciate this, as every jiggle of the especially jiggly suspension causes the seat to rub rawly at the skin of my lower back as we process up the M6. Maybe Vaseline should be an option too This, as my mother would say, is no one"s fault but my own. I wanted to find out just how hardcore the latest, greatest crop of hardcore track cars is, and racetracks aren"t the place to find out. They just aren"t. What"s hardcore about driving around a smooth racetrack? There"s run-off to save you; nothing coming the other way; if it rains, flags are waved; and, unless your name"s Bernie, they tend to be closed at night. Not much of a challenge there.Photography: Mark FagelsonStory taken from the February 2016 issue of Top Gear Magazine - The Stig Presents Fight Club". Pick-up your copy from newsagents and supermarkets to read about more great battles including 911 vs i8 vs F-Type, Stang vs Vette vs Viper, Pagani vs Koenigsegg and many more.
