If the outgoing Lambo is that fast, the successor must be

Strange they improved the laptime of the Lambo with a full second before they last tested it...

Nice video.

They managed the relatively "poor" time of 1.09,3 min at very hot conditions (29 Degrees C air- and 41 Degrees C asphalt-temperature). This was probably a colder testday, we'll see.

Or... This car had the Trofeo R tires. Which are diabolically good (i.e. Camaro Z/28 Nürburgring time)...

Few notes from the test

Lambo:

• This testcar lacks the optional front-lift system, therefore it's 57 kgs lighter than the previous one they've tested.
• Launch Control starts from 5000 rpm.
• This time they tested the car with the performance-position of the rear wing, that's why it's 2 seconds slower up to 300.
• 1,1 s faster laptime thanks to the even more hardcore tyres (P Zero Trofeo R instead of P Zero Corsa) and more downforce.
• Extremely powerful brakes, but ABS-setup is not optimal on short ground faults.

Porsche:

• Launch Control starts from 5600 rpm. 0-40 km/h in 1 second with an average acceleration of 1,13 g.
• 0-300 km/h in 31 seconds, only 2,4 s behind the mighty GT2 RS.
• Mild oversteer at in-corner brakings.
• High suspension comfort, powerful brakes.

So if both were on the same set of tires, the Turbo would be faster, no?

Not necessarily, Pilot Sport Cup 2 is very hardcore as well ...

Indeed it is. Together with the Trofeo R they are the next generation of high performance tires, it seems. However, the Porsche used the Dunlop Sport Maxx Race ...

Yeah, I meant Dunlop - the GT3 in the Supertest had PS Cup 2. Too many Porsches in one magazine.

Mighty impressive for the so "old" Lambo to beat the brand new Turbo on the track. Wow

If the outgoing Lambo is that fast, the successor must be

..Pirelli Pzero Corsa Trofeo R....

3250 lbs for the Lambo? Good job! That's almost as light as the MP4-12C without a CF tub, with a V10 and AWD! I can't wait to see what the replacement will do!

Yes, according to people who tried it, the Trofeos are a good 2-4 secs faster than MPSCs on a typical circuit.

On Friday: Sport Auto Supertest of the 911 Turbo S.

Let's see how fast it is in the hands of Uncle Horst.
