Hypercar Royalty

Hypercar Royalty is a term used by Top Gear on episode two of season thirteen when Richard Hammond raced a Lamborghini Murcielago LP 670-4 SuperVeloce against a Mercedes-Benz SLR McLaren 722 edition. Richard Hammond quoted:

'Compared to that, this is a snotty little raggamuffin, but that is a hundred grand more.'

He said that when the Mercedes-Benz SLR won the a drag race down a four mile stretch of closed road in Abu Dhabi.
The term 'Hypercar Royalty' means a Hypercar (e.g Ferrari Enzo or McLaren F1) that is normally very expensive and very fast. Richard used it to describe the Murcielago and The SLR because they are both very fast and very expensive. The term is also used by people who want to describe one or more Hypercars, normally when they feel happy or excited about being in a Hypercar. E.g you wouldn't use the term 'Hypercar Royalty' when you were unhappy or sad.
