Could be that the car went slightly airbourne after a bump, hence no traction.

No, it's more likely the usual Autocar-bullshit-data

It seems that all cars that hit 180mph with Autocar have a problem, look at this test and also the P1 it supposed to do 18.0sec to 180mph but the kilometer post is in 18.2sec at 178.5mph! The 918 did 18.2sec to 180mph but to kilometer it did 18.2sec at 180.4mph!!

I thought only Sport Auto did that.

Strange. Separate runs for velocity and distance?

No. Maybe the Vbox Tools software is too much for them...

Those are some weird figures. RC car?

That's just an example. It's a Suzuki Swift 1.3 and the data are in kph

LOL. It couldn't even reach 80mph in a quarter mile. Overtaking must be terrifying.

The acceleration times are brutal but in-gear times are not that much impressive considering 1500nm of torque.

458 Italia does 50-70mph in 5,7s in 7th gear
Veyron SS does 50-70mph in 5,9s in 6th gear

I think that's because of turbo lag.

The 458 Italia has very short gearing compared to the Veyron and most of its rivals (911TS/650S etc.) so you can expect it to have really good flexibility.

Indeed. 7th on the 458 is in fact shorter than 5th on 991 Turbo I think. Something some people seem to miss when looking at in gear times. And 6th on a Veyron is longer than 6th on a Turbo S.

100-120 mph in 6ª?
