I am surprised that SLR 722 won the race. I guess result could be the other way round if LP670-4 SV had a proper launch and racer with balls.

I agree with D55L, I think the LP670 would win more than 5/10 with equally good drivers and launch controle. The 722 has 10hp less and weighs around 200kg more. Maybe the LP670 lost a little more time due to the big spoiler as well, I guess it's faster on a straight with the small one.

Check the video's 01:33-01:44 time, right after Hammond finishes his top speed ride in SV. There is told that SV is the fastest Lamborghini ever made (its a well-known fact), but there is also being told that brand new replacement is coming next year.

TopGear is not exactly well known for getting their basic facts right

Hammond also says that SV stands for Sport Veloce. Doesn't it stand for Super Veloce?

Yes it does. I was surprised he messed that up. Friggin' awesome video though!
