THE F70 (LaFerrari) Thread

After watching that I can see alot of power and time wasted with the gear changes on the Viper TT the F70 with dual clutch and KERS will lose no time or power as it races its way up the 7 speed gearbox

 

Veyron SS is geared for 267mph where F70 I'd say 225ish which will also help the 0-200 in Ferraris flavor plus alot lighter and the DRS system

 

And the F70 may have more gears.

A cassette gearbox would be cool. optimal Qtr mile ratio's, optimal 0-200 etc.. saying that perhaps they change the ratio's for some 'road' tests dependending on location?

 

The one they have to beat is the Porsche 917-30 and I don't see that happening.

 

Is that a road car, or a race car?

so a race car, thus the comparison doesn't really stand. either way, there's probably a F1 car from the turbo era that was quicker/ had better acceleration.

 

That don't even factor in that's a Cam Am from the 70s different world now on top of the fact it's not a road car...

 

There are road legal road registered 917's. Even though they're 40 years old they'll leave
a new Enzo far behind 0-200 MPH.

Thanks for playing.

Better Luck next time.

 

As the F70 will be a production car a few road legal 917s don't factor plus I'd like to see them meet the same regs as an f70 come on apples with apples

 

there are no road legal 917/30 though

 

The front looks very Lotus-like.

 

Wait. This think will be more epic than nothing seen before in the automotive world. (talking about design)

 

U R nowZero 4 2.


A 917-30 was legally road dirven in the US.

Even changing the rules doesn't help you.

Here's a 2012 totally road legal 1200 HP 2012 Lambo that meets all 2012 road requirements that I very much doubt the new enzo will beat 0-60 or 0-200.

"We clocked the TT Aventador 0-60 mph time in 2.2 seconds on OEM street tires, normal air pressure and on a regular road. This Aventador drives just as it did in stock form, just a lot faster."

 

The blue light is from McLaren.

The drawing is a guess and it's not accurate.

 

Indeed. As the Dodge was on Pilots, it was programmed to not receive full power until 140mph - and still needed to be pedaled. The Bug worked it to 100 (the SLR was quicker, too). The cool part is from 100 onward. By the time the Bugatti hit 200, the Viper was at 220 and change, and a quarter mile ahead.

 

Seems to me u made it your mission to shoot down Enzo's replacement at any means. Kinda childish, comparing road conversions of racing cars (prototypes to be exact), and over modded road cars, isn't really the same as comparing production cars. Well except if your only pupuse in that comparison is just to make Ferrari look bad, which is odd coming from a world wide acclaimed Ferrari collector, enthusiast, and modder/builder/race team owner.

 

I wonder how it compares to the Soyuz in terms of top speed...

 

Truth vs fanboy devotion is what interests me.

The new enzo won't be the worlds fastest 0-200 road legal car no matter how many fanboys posit it will be.

The new Enzo will be pretty cool and those who buy one will be happy.

What's not to like?

 

At this level of exotica the lines between race, street and some mix of the two are pretty much academic.

 

Thanks. The hi-def image at that link shows a lot of detail, http://insidemclaren.com/wordpress/wp-content/uploads/2012/09/1mclarIM.jpg.

 

They are and they are totally meanless to those who actually buy and drive them. Fanboy fascanation with meanless real world differences in statistics is silly.

Look at everything.

Test drive each one.

Buy the one YOU like based on what matter to YOU. (Looks/Performance or some combination thereof)

That's what I do and after 40 years and over 600,000 miles of driving exotics I wouldn't change that procedure at all.

 

Well, here in the UK, there is a madman that has a 2200 HP road legal Vauxhall drag racer. This is totally irrelevant though. If Ferrari went for 0-200 mph (well, 0-300 km/h most probably) top honours, the competition would be stock production cars and not dragsters or former military jet planes!

 

The Photos McLaren showed me look very good. I was surprised at how curvy the car was. The rear is fantastic.

I hope the new Enzo will look fantastic as well.
