The 12C looks so good in between the other two.

Was that 458 a factory demo car or a customer car?

Even though they have begun building production cars, customers won't get their hands on them for a few more months.

Sorry I wad referring to the Ferrari. I was wondering because of the controversy over the Ferrari press cars being mildly tuned for these kind of events

I believe that particular 458 belongs to McLaren, as would the Porsche most likely.

McLaren got their hands on the Ferrari very shortly after they were released in the UK, much to the displeasure of Ferrari of course.

Luckily theirs did not catch fire.

They obviously haven't driven it enough, then.

please don't tell me mclaren tunes their own cars too.

and the turbo driver failed big time, and what is weird to me is that the turbo is faster to 60 than the 458
