VIDEO: Top Gear crew spotted in UAE with quartet of top-shelf supercars
Click above to watch video after the jump
The last time Top Gear went to the United Arab Emirates, they took three Veyrons for a spin and sent the Stig into the mountains behind the wheel of a Koenigsegg. And that was the magazine. So you can bet that if the television show were to head there as well, it'd be for an equally exciting romp. And here you have it: Video footage of Richard Hammond and Sheikh al-Stig at UAE's Alain Airport with a quartet of the most desirable top-of-the-line supercars on the market. In plain view on the closed-off air strip are a Mercedes SLR McLaren 722, the new Lamborghini Murcielago SV LP670-4, a Bugatti Veyron for good measure (probably the same all-red example that took part in the triple formation) and an original McLaren F1 to put them all in their place. The comparison promises to be epic, but you can check out the video footage after the jump in the meantime.

FXX isn't street legal, the other cars are. While I'd love to see one there, it wouldn't be a fair comparison (though I would -love- to see it hand them their asses).

FXX hand a veyron it's ass? on the track, sure, but i'm guessing topgears doing one of those 'who's faster to 200' sorts of tests.

I'd like to see Clarkson insult Arabs for a change.

He would probably get banned from Britain if he did that...

Jake B, how sad, but you are so correct.

You never know... it could be the Stig's rich, arabic sheik cousin... (sheiks almost always wear white, right?)

I'm going to invoke a rarely used (by me) phrase:

I have a feeling you meant to transpose the two terms in your inequality.

Dude... that's gotta be a mistake.
