Lie down to drive: Top Gear tries the Sanrivatti One
A working prototype and a simulator test put an unusual driving position at the centre of the channel's three-upload week.

Next story: Aston Martin's Valkyrie LM gives Top Gear a mental workout
Extra power is familiar territory for Top Gear. Asking the driver to lie on their tummy is rather less routine. The Sanrivatti One brings both to the channel's newest review: a track-only V10 project whose driving position is a bigger talking point than its engine.
"New V10 Supercar With World's Most Insane Driving Position! | 4K" investigates the practical questions behind that proposition, including seatbelts, getting inside and why a manual gearbox isn't possible. A simulator session and a drive in the working prototype take it beyond a design curiosity. It has reached roughly 343,000 views and is currently the channel's busiest video.
The week's largest new audience, though, belongs to Ollie Marriage's Monza outing with the Aston Martin Valkyrie family, now past a million views. Darren Turner supplies the development-driver expertise, while Marriage discovers how much concentration the LM demands. Viewers keep returning to the V12's startup and trackside sound; one recalls an overnight journey to Sebring specifically to hear a Valkyrie in person.
Tom Ford's Genesis Magma GT walkaround also passed a million views. That gives the week a neatly varied trio: a race-derived Aston, a Korean supercar concept with production ambitions, and a prototype that rethinks where the driver belongs.
Top Gear's subscriber count was unchanged over the week, and its current daily viewing is well below its usual level. That softer daily picture is shared by several nearby motoring channels, including Donut and ChrisFix, while Westen Champlin is enjoying stronger-than-usual viewing and subscriber growth.
Away from the new supercars, the carbonfibre-bodied Mechatronik Mercedes SEC remains a substantial draw, with its old-school shape and naturally aspirated V8 now carrying the review past three million views.

@The_gear_head_See it on YouTubeLast year I made a 19 hour drive through the night to see the Valkyrie debut at Sebring. Watched the 12 hour race and turned right around to drive 19 hours home. It was 100% worth it to hear the noise in person
