I found some more info:
Quote:
"SHP’s innovative automotive engineering abilities were challenged by the Top Gear Live Management Team for this year’s world tour.
With every vehicle build being bespoke, created from an artists impression, with no engineering remit to the clients requirements except that the vehicles would have to be durable and able to stand the rigors of two days of rehearsals at each venue plus ten shows per visit and ten stops on the world tour, these vehicles were to work really hard.
So what was created for the Carmageddon sequence? Retro style vehicles Ford Capri, Ford MKI Escort and a Porsche Carrera each vehicle having to compete in its own element of the show.
The Capri would eventually end up on its roof via the Carmageddon ramp. The MKI Escort gets a roof chop via a cut off beam and 911 Porsche gets blown up via rear action rocket attack. All the respective damage created via the Stigs driving ability to implement mayhem and destruction via his so called friend in an Apache black buggy and his fighter plane graphiced street buggy."
