'Unflappable' is a word that springs to mind when thinking of the BBC's top news reporters.

  Nothing phases their cool and methodical approach to journalism...until you stick them in a 200mph supercar. But not just any run-of-the-mill racer - this is Aston Martin's brand new £1.5m Vulcan.

Reporter Emma Simpson was the first passenger in this weapon of a car and as soon as it roared off all that BBC equanimity went straight out the window. "Whoa! It's a rocket on wheels," she screams. "The acceleration is just incredible." Just have a look at the pant-s**ting speed of the thing... https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=djrO4R-5bYg H/T BBC
