Auto Motor und Sport - Handling test 2013
Location: Auto Motor und Sport-Driving Center Groß Dölln, Germany
Note: they tested the cars with ESP ON, ESP Sport and ESP OFF modes in every criteria, I only posted the fastest ones.
Audi R8 5.2 FSI V10 Plus S-tronic
Pro: crazy power-delivery, very agile rear end, no understeer, direct steering.
Contra: Tricky at the limit, too much traction, the tyres are way too grippy sometimes.
Jaguar F-Type V6 S
Pro: rousing sound, high emotions, easy to control at the limit.
Contra: bodyroll, uncomfortable shifts, low cornering G-forces, slow slalom speeds.
McLaren MP4-12C (normal P Zero tyres, no semi-slicks!)
Pro: Brutal straightline performance, great handling, neutral behaviour.
Contra: loud suspension, without traction control it's heavily oversteered.
Mercedes-Benz A45 AMG
Pro: Emotional shifting- and exhaust-sound, perfect ESP-setup, high stability.
Contra: suspension-setup, high understeer-tendency, reduced agility, blunt power-delivery.
Nissan GT-R Black Edition
Pro: Enormous traction, brutal straightline-performance, lots of driving programs, good ESP-setup.
Contra: Very high weight, engine power reduced radically after 3 hotlaps, sometimes too much traction (due to grippy tyres).
Porsche Boxster S PDK
Pro: easy to control the car even at the limit, extremely high steering-precision, enormous agility, very good engine-reactions.
Contra: a little more power would be great.
Radical Sportscars SR3 SL
Pro: best braking-results ever, unimaginable agility, it's like a racing car.
Contra: no everyday-usability, no weather protection, on the wet moisture comes from the bottom of the car.
Volkswagen Golf GTi Performance
Pro: extremely easy handling, very safe at the limit, high everyday-usability, powerful engine, good sound.
Contra: traction is limited because of FWD.
