Top Gear magazine tests man against machine in a sprint showdown
When
it comes to acceleration, man beats machine in a unique test carried
out for 成人论坛 Top Gear magazine (September issue on sale 1st August).
Maurice
Greene's 100 meter 1999 World Athletics Championship record run
beats the Nissan Micra 1.5 diesel's speed right up to the 60 meter
mark and his speed over the first ten meters also exceeds that of
the Audi RS6 - one of the fastest accelerating production cars -
but at 100 meters both Audi and Nissan emerge as winners.
The
sprint showdown was cleverly constructed using the IAAF's (the government's
athletics body) timing system, which recorded reigning champion
Greene's 9.80 second sprint for every 10m of the track. The intrepid
成人论坛 Top Gear magazine road testers timed the RS6 and Micra over
100m from a standing start and compared the results.
Colin
Jackson, the world record holder for the 100m hurdles comments on
how Greene achieved this feat in 成人论坛 Top Gear Magazine: "From
the crouch position, Greene engages the powerful gluteus maximums
muscles in the buttocks to launch out of the blocks."
Michael
Harvey, Editor of 成人论坛 Top Gear Magazine, sums up the performance:
"Maurice Greene's performance was truly startling - the Nissan
Micra snatched second place against Greene in our man against machine
battle by only 1.2 seconds. However, the awesome power of the Audi
RS6 just blew the competition away".
Notes

monthly, with a circulation of 144,104 (ABC: Jul - Dec 2002).
