Its in two parts and total of 20 cars were tested. I dont remember all of them but here is a few examples: SLS, CLS63, Dodge Challenger

They have revealed place 20 to 6 so its five cars left fighting for place number one: Audi R8 V10, Cayman R, Ferrari 458, BMW 1M.

Winner will be revealed in the next issue


Sorry for not having more info than this :)
 
As a TM (Tekniikan Maailma) reader I got to know the results a while ago since they have it in only one issue. Forgot the magazine at our summercottage and I can't remember any results other than that ferrari 458 finished first with 10,0, Porsche 911 Turbo S second with 10,0, Audi third, Cayman fourth and 1 M fifth. I'm pretty sure that's the right order.


Here are the track videos if you are interested.

Did they use the same driver for all countries?
 
The 458 Italia is undeniably the best track car. The Cayman R is very good and comes close to the bigger brothers.

Yeah this Ferrari is doing what Ferrari always do, but the Cayman R is the real hero in my opinion, at a fraction of the price it almost came second and given enough power it might have even beaten the 458.
 
Knutstorp is, from what I remember known for its high demands on cornering efficiency rather than outright power and a hairpin known as "the idiot", because there really is no good line through it :D Therefore, it has been the arena for many giant killing feats through the years. In this case I'm impressed by the CLS and curious about the STI.
 
Is that 458 a customer car ? Normal (heavier) wheels, no carbon at all. Ferrari would hardly release a press car in this config. What kind of license plate is "EZ 25" ?
 
458 customer car with basic configuration (no weight saving options) beats SLS by 2s on a 1-minute track. This seems to confirm the latest awesome laptimes (EVO,CAR) by current 458 press cars with new supersport tires and all weight saving options including new CF options.

I read the article about CLS63. He like the steering and engine but he also said that the main reason for the quick laptime was the straightline acceleration. His conclusion the car belong on Autobahn.

The swedish driver was STCC driver - Edward Sandström.
