If you've ever wondered how Top Gear produces its stunning mini-movies, it's a combination of blacked-out camera cars, a brilliant driver, and a helicopter. Also, lots of powerslides.

Jeremy Clarkson and crew are testing the 900 horsepower, $1.3 million McLaren P1 around the Spa-Francorchamps circuit in Belgium for the upcoming season of the show. And one of the people on set put together a supercut of everything that goes into making a simple car review into a thing of art. Rumors are that each show costs around $1 million to produce, and based on the amount of resources on hand, that almost sounds conservative.

As for the P1, Clarkson likes it. A lot. "Right. The P1," Clarkson tweeted. "Complete game changer. The next chapter in motoring. Speed like you simply would not believe."
