The latest issue of this magazine features a comparison test between the Ferrari 599 GTB Fiorano, Lamborghini Murcielago LP640 and Porsche 911 Turbo (out of its league) I don't understand the language it's in, but can anyone report on it anyway? Pics below:

i would go for the Ferrari or the Porsche if i had to buy. but why do you think that the 911 is out of its league? it basically created supercars.

It's obvious what car i'd take from the three :D

only because the 911 would compete on a more level ground with the F430 and Gallardo...

If I had the money I think I would take the LP640, it's the only one which always have the "Supercar" badge on it. But for everyday driving, the 997 Turbo would be my choice.

So tough between the Ferrari and the Lambo, but I'd have to go Ferrari with this one.

Would take the Ferrari anyday, can be used daily but opt for a porsche if i was under a budget. The lamboghini is beautiful too but not me!

say whaaaaaa? the 911 has nothing to do with the creating supercars as a genre of automobiles.

i'd pick the LP640, as the Ferrari is a bit....unimaginative, and the 911 is a brilliant car---but doesn't evoke the imagination quite like the LP.

What he means is the 911 is for poor people and only the most expensive things can be considered "Super".

The facts that the 911T is right up there with the Horse and Bull seems to be completely discounted.

I think the best one is the Ferrari and it`s the fastest (in acceleration), but my favorite is the Lamborghini, it just looks amazing and has the word supercar written all over it.

Best overall is the Ferrari I think. The Porsche is great but not as special I think..

The Lambo is insane, the looks are great and a very fast car.

But the Ferrari just has that magic you know, especially the 599 which is like an enzo in a grand tourers jacket .. :wink:

Best car: the Porsche
Best supercar: the Lambo :D

The Lamborghini just looks way better than the others, and ofcourse there's the amazing power!

i'd definately pick the porsche anyday, imo it beats the other cars in looks by a mile and it's also more practical than the prancing horse and the raging bull ;)

for me it's not so important if it's insanely fast in a straight line, cornering is more fun :)

They're all great cars but my favourite is the 599 GTB with no doubt. None of the others would be in my dream garage 8)

The question asked which was the best supercar, so I had to pick the LP640. If I could afford one of them and had to live with it everyday I would go with the 911 Turbo :twisted:

LP640 for myself.

Amazing exterior, sizzling V12.

Though i adore the 911 Turbo a lot, i would also take the Ferrari. It just seems to be the best and most complete supercar of the three.

599 in one of the darker reds - Rubino or Fiorano with 6 sp manual transmission.

I dont want AWD - hence this eliminates the Turbo and Lambo. The Lambo seems excessively flashy to me. It is true to its heritage but it isnt kosher to me .Murcie's sound real good though - gotta admit it. Deep roar :)

I am not a huge fan of the 599 based on the pictures I have seen. I am going to hold my opinion till I see it in the flesh. I appreciate the fact that they have lightened the car from its predecessor. Love the sound of the V12. This is my pick of the three

I think I am more a fan of the lighter and more agile sports cars from these makes - CS, GT3- than the heavier GTs.

Couldn't agree more. The mere fact that a 997TT is mentioned in this article, and it's compared with the BEST Ferrari and the BEST Lamborghini is enough to deserve some more respect :wink: seems that a supercar can only be borned in Italy or be mid-engined or V10 or have over 600hp :wink:

thanks for expanding on what i meant

Just looking through pictures, I already think the 599 is exceptionally gorgeous! I haven't seen it in the flesh but if I do, I may just be overwhelmed and completely pass out :D Looks supreme in rossa monza (the dark metalllic red one I think) and 20in Challenge rims

I don't know why anyone would pick anything other than the LP. It is easily the best looking of the 3, and its is the only one IMO that can really be called a "supercar"

Maybe because it's an overweight posemobile :?:

Why do you think it's the only one that can be called a supecar?

Looks: LP640 the winner

Hardcore performance and track ability: 911 Turbo

Best of both worlds: the GTB.

What are you talking about? It's a simple legitimate question.

What are you basing your opinion on? Personal experience? A rich uncle? Magazines? Dreams? Observation?

This is a car forum after all - even though you have gone out of your qay to politicise it.
