Comparison tests Motortrend: Best Driver's Car 2020

[tieftaucher]

Ferrari F8 Tributo 01:32.27
Huracan Evo 01:32.85

So the winner will either be the 911 or Corvette. I suspect they'll choose the Corvette since a Porsche already won last year.

More reviews today :
Huracan
F8

They say F8 had brake issues and that the 488 they tested may have been a ringer...

 

[Laurent T]

From the list below, I guess winner will either be Corvette or 911 Turbo. By the way, F8 is among 2020's worst cars.

Vette is not winner :
Corvette
But it seems 911 won't win either (too clinical) :
911 Turbo

I will put my bet on the Cayman.

Or the GT500

I will put my bet on the Cayman.

Not powerful enough, gearing is too long.

 

[Laurent T]

Or the GT500

This is indeed Pobst 1st : Ranking

 

[tieftaucher]

So the Corvette and the Turbo suffered from using regular summer tires in the the test opposed to the R-compound tire using competition.

The Corvette Stingray only 0,4 sec faster than the 2013 Corvette Stingray around Laguna... was there something wrong with it?

It was on Pilot 4S "street" tires.

Based on Pobst's glowing account of the Turbo S' showing on track, I reckon the 992 Turbo S is the one to beat.

 

[bmwz4coupe]

It was on Pilot 4S "street" tires.

Yes, and the 2013 Corvette was on even less grippier street tyres....

 

[lambornima]

Awesome test and thanks for posting the results. With so many YouTubers and whatnot actually getting numbers out of their cars it would be a mistake for Ferrari to send ringers to these tests, though it would be much easier to do with turbo charged cars compared to their old NA predecessors. I'm surprised the Huracan Evo wasn't faster than the Performante I thought Lambo said it was quicker. It was also barely faster than the Turvo S despite much sticker tires. Turbo S a monster as always.
