Gumpert is sexy. You'd think it would be a crappy car...much like Gumpert the lunch lady, but its the fastest car around their test track, so a rose by any other name...

Oo reary?
Not even the dumbest rotard inside Mazda, can consider showing a broken rotary car to 400+ million people a "good publicity stunt". Hey folks, look good, doesn't drive--it's broken! Just like that other rotary called... Something else must have happened at last minute....
Thing is, Mazda had plans and said, "Let Stig drive it" so they sent it all the way from Japan to Top Gear island, UK. Unfortunately upon arrival and initial testing, a horrified Mazda tech found that a vital part was missing. "Oh, left it on the bench next to the 16x... back in Japan!"
The tech then went on to explain to the Top Gear producers, in broken English, exactly what happened. Due to the language barrier, and production timetable, after 30 minutes of jibber jabber Top Gear said "Screw it, we'll just say it is broken."
And that is what really happen.

The story ends!
After the shoot, Jeremy Clarkson rummaged in the back of the Top Gear props museum, and found the missing flux capacitors needed! He drove off with Furai, but after arriving at the airport, he forgot to use 10 cans of No-Scent in his luggage! The police dogs sniffed out 80 pounds of cocaine! He had 309 police chasing, but Clarkson was out of energy globes for his area disruptor! He took 1,953 points of damage! He died!
