And it's too raspy for a twelve IMO.
No doubt about it.

Here's what I'm thinking. Autocar says they're going to spill the beans later this week as to what car this is. For that reason I think they're hyping a new review that they've done in their next issue. Why then would it be a car that's been out for year now. I just don't see it being a GT3 either, while in a way I wish it was. Whatever it is launches great out of the corners which to me says AWD (or GT3 driven by a very talented individual). I'm thinking Lambo power, but we'll see on the 31st.

I dunno, it's one hell of a lively peppy engine to be a 6 liter 12 ...

The ZR1 wouldn't eat up a 500+ hp awd car the way it did in that vid, especially coming out of the turns. Willing to eat my words on this though.

It just sounds way too high strung to be anything but a Porsche flat six. Is that rasp present in a GT3 though? I'm lost . . .

I don't think either car was going full out... Maybe for the video or something? Car #1 certainly took it easy through a lot of the corners, it seems like they were trying to keep the cars pretty close.

Why so sad Thurston? It's obvious that was a GT3...

+1 also don't think that was anywhere close to full out.

^I think full tilt on that road would have be a death sentence, however, there is no denying they were hauling a$$. Its a win, win for me. If its a GT3 great, I'll be wrong. If its a Lambo, also great. Either way, its definitely a fun little competitions. I'll be sure to post the results Friday!!!
