Nothing can touch the Veyron, but the topspeed from the others is impressive too (599GTB & ford gt!)

That 599 is crazy. I would have never thought it would so significantly beat the Lambo in acceleration or top speed.

Thanks for the scans mate For the first time the Veyron is officially clocked at 400 + km/h and the acceleration figures are impressive for the Veyron and the 599

yeah the 599 is the shocker out of that grouping, although the SLR, GT, and LP640 are also very impressive.


can anyone "rent" that track for a day or event? that would be so nice to take out a car for a 3 hour test of topspeed.

Nice scans, the Ferrari is incredibly fast. In a different issue of the magazine it's listed as the fastest 1/4-mile car ever tested by the mag.
