[5.7 V10]

They recently did a test between the Enzo, Carrera GT, Murcielago, SLR, DB9 and Continetal GT. Look down the page.

Now i do not have the article. But i do have the times, thanks to taunus1975 of Supercars.net

This are the results (Top speed; 0-100 km/h; 0-200 km/h; 0-300 km/h):

Ferrari Enzo Ferrari: 355 km/h; 3,6 s; 10,3 s; 26,1 s (!!!)

Porsche Carrera GT: 334 km/h; 3,8 s; 10,7 s; 34,2 s

Mercedes-Benz SLR McLaren: 334 km/h; 3,8 s; 10,7 s; 30,6 s

Lamborghini Murciélago: 330 km/h; 3,7 s; 12,5 s; 37,6 s

Bentley Continental GT: 319 km/h; 5,2 s; 17,2 s; 67,2 s

Aston Martin DB9: 309 km/h; 5,0 s; 16,7 s; 74,6 s


Track:
Porsche Carrera GT: 53,86
Ferrari Enzo Ferrari: 54,98
Lamborghini Murciélago: 55,82
Mercedes SLR Mc Laren: 57,45
Aston Martin DB9: 58,82
Bentley Continetal GT: 61,66

What's meant by track? an entire lap on Nardo seems impossible in 53 seconds. Did they make a little track on the Nardo circuit? or could any1 scan the article?

To be honest i'm not sure on the track. I just copied it. Just said "Track times"

[gucom]

hmmm ok we'll have to wait till sum1 has a scan of the article, i htink st-anger gets it

The CGT is faster than the Enzo on the track
The drag coefficient is too important for the 0-300 km/h i think, the Enzo has adjustable rear wing .. and more power.

[twboy1999]

how is it possible that SLR outrun the CGT in 0-300
i honestly dont see it

around the same amount of hp.. but CGT alot less weight

unless the rear wing of the CGT making 2 much downforce

Wait, the track possibly. Again, from Supercars.net. The member Guibo says from what he reads it's this track..

I don't think he's 100% sure though.

Well, whatever track they're talking about, it's obviously not a lap of Nardo. Otherwise the CGT wouldn't have got the best time, since the Enzo has a considerably higher top speed.

Coincidentally I browsed through the mag today at the supermarket. I caught a remark the Enzo was surprisingly stable at its top speed of 355 km/h. 8)

BTW, these figures show that the Murciélago is also a car to be reckoned with. It's not trailing too far behind the CGT in the acceleration figures and on the track it has about the same gap to the Enzo as the Enzo to the CGT. Considering that the Murciélago is a lot less expensive than either the Enzo, CGT or SLR and slightly more comfortable than the Enzo and (to a lesser extent) the CGT, I find it's a very strong package! IMO it also looks better than all the other cars, except for the DB9.

"For me a huge chunk of a cars
appeal is the noise it makes and
the noise this one makes is just
astonishing" -Jemery Clarkson
talking about the Pagani Zonda C12S 7.3

Nurburgring:
7.44 = 161 km/h 2002 Pagani Zonda S, Horst von Saurma, Sport Auto 2002.

Hockenheim:
1.11.8=2002 Pagani Zonda S, Sport Auto 2002


are u crazy man?? a lap in hockenhein in a F1 car is about 1:07.000 and the zonda makes just 4 seconds higher?? bullshit...impossible..have u already gone into a F1 race and saw that cars running?

No, not crazy at all. Read Auto Sport. I really don't apperciate being attacked and being called a liar.

There is a big difference in the track. The track that the zonda/CGT drove was the short version, basically the Autodrome or whatever its called without the part of the F1 track with the fast corners. Above the image of the track layout on the scan above, it says: Kleiner Kurs, Streckenlänge 2,6 KM. That means: Short course, track length: 2.6 km. As you see thats a different track

Oh! I didn't even know there was a shorter version. I hadn't heard any of the other times with other cars. My mistake-edit my sig.

[schnell318]

I wonder how the Carrera GT feels like at that speed, 334 km/h sure is alot. Just imagine what it would feel like with the top off, even though i guess the car wouldn´t reach that speed, too much drag. Can someone please scan that article and if it´s posible maybe the 1 series one too .

[HoboPie]

I can't say I'm particularly surprised(track times). From what I've heard the CGT has a little more mechanical grip than the Enzo.

Also the lambo I'm not really surprised about because it is a really small circuit. It would have amazing traction out of corners.

I'm really interested in a scan/translation.

[veilsidebr]

oh yeah, that´s the short version, that´s why it marked in the house of 1:08 "
if it was on the F1 or DTM version, i don´t have doubts it would go up to 1:36 "
