What is the Nurburgring record for Enzo?
 
Hey dudes :)
Recently read that Porsche Carrera GT has set a new production car record in Nurburgring, at 7min 32.44sec Does anyone know Enzo's time?

I really doubt that the Carrera could beat Enzo :?

Why?

Ferrari wont let the enzo be officially timed around any circuit except fiorano

"engine problems" or a slower lap time ;)

I dont think it takes a genius to figure out that CGT will lap there faster. It was build for around that track :wink:

When AMS tested the SLR, Enzo, CGT, Murcielago, AM GT, etc. around Nardo, they also reported road course times around a track that was nearby. As I remember it, the CGT came out ahead, by approx. 1s over the Enzo. I believe the Murcielago came in 3rd, only 0.5-1s slower than the Enzo. The CGT smoked the cars in braking from high speeds as well.

Steve Sutcliffe at Autocar has also stated that the CGT would be faster around a road course. The Enzo fast in a straight line though...

pffffffft straight line speed isn't needed.

I think Enzo's the current slalom record holder of production cars add that to its superior straight line performance => So strange that it was beaten by the CGT (Well maybe the CGT was tuned on the 'Ring but, how about Nardo?)

I've read a few times, that the Carrera GT is just a bit faster on track.
Better downforce.

komotar 10-04-2004 04:14 AM

I'll try to dig up the mag.

Lambo Murcielago: 212 m(from 250km/hr to standstill)
Ferrari Enzo: 215 m
Porsche Carrera GT: 191 m
Mercedes SLR McLaren: 221 m

Friggin amazin' :shock:

that is a big difference! the CGT would be lighter too which would also work towards its advantage
