Top Gear is back with a shiny new series and on your screens Sundays at 8pm on BBC Two (if you're in the UK).

Ariel Atom 4 (Wet) Time: 01:25.3

UK or not though - here's The Stig wrestling the brand-new Ariel Atom 4 around the Top Gear track*. With the new Civic Type R engine, it's a torque-y monster and the conditions were... um... less than perfect. Stig's sideways antics remind us all: we are not worthy!

*Sorry about the camera movement!
