Thanks for sharing this video. LP560-4 is really very very quick. I was shocked how easily LP560-4 had outperformed 430 Scuderia in same acceleration test and here it is just one more confirmation how fast this beast is.

From what I can see they are pretty much break even. The LP560 floors it a tad earlier than the LP640 and that's why he pulls away the first 3 seconds or so. After that there's hardly any difference in acceleration. I guess the LP640 would start to pull away at around 280km/h or maybe even not before 300km/h.
Confirms my impressions on the LP560 so far. That car is a beast

Wow, the weight advantage really shows.
Great vid. 560 is a monster. Game on, Ferrari.

R8 V10, nice... Some great cars in that lot.

WOW, who would have thought. Even though the 560 got a bit of a jump on the 640, I would have imagined the 640 pulling away from the 560.

Any idea how fast they were going by the end of the run?

The LP560 performance is just AMAZING! 1/4 mile in mid 11's is awesome!!

I really wasn't expecting that result! The 560 definitely held its own and I bet that fact will piss off a lot of LP640 owners.

It was really cool to see those Sepang R8s as well as the black R8 V10 in the video as well.

Turbogallardo You are a Teamspeed member that Rocks!

The cars were very evenly matched. It looked like the LP640 had a slight advantage in the top end where it was slowly reeling in the 560, but the 560 was able to stay ahead with faster shifting and a little more midrange pull.

Conclusion: The 560 is one bad ass car. I am anxious to see what Ferrari is going to come up with the counter it.
