What a blistering pace, I didn't think it was going to be faster than Bugatti SS! McLaren for LIFE! hehehehe

so the score is 3-2 now! Ferrari (Car, Evo & 5th gear) to McLaren (Autocar & Top Gear), Seems we have to wait for some more tests!

I want to see Chris Harris test these cars back to back. He seemed to love the McLaren when he drove it but gave no opinion on which one he chose when put up against each other.

 

Auto Bild Sportscar, german sportscar magazine tested the performante, 458, mp4-12c, gt2 rs, sls & r8 v10 on bumpy roads in northwales.

testdriver says he already tested 4 mp4s now and all of them felt different. One of them even had issues with the supsension on track.
the tester also complains about the ABS system(slowing down the inner rear wheel for more stability) which causes the exact opposite - instability - under extreme conditions, in this case the bumpy roads.
positive points: comfort, sensitive brake feeling, precise steering, mixture of torque avalanche and hp-punch, easy-going ground covering.

But the 458 won, because its superb in everything it does, razor sharp + emotional & there's no criticism at all. The 458 was also faster.
3rd was the GT2 RS.

(sorry for spelling mistakes)

 

"Ferrari" probably the name that brings more emotions to a person than any car made in the world. I may be wrong but when people I know get to talking about cars the only one that is brought up is "how's the Ferrari" and I have had it for 6 years.

 

Wonder what would happen if Ferrari launched a "Scuderia" version of the 458 in the near future...

 

I'm almost certain drooling would commence and last a long time.

 

I'm sure McLaren has their own "Scuderia" version of the 12C that will come out in a few years

 

i dont believe the Mc is full 3 sec faster than 458 on so short race track!
