    What is difference between 0 to 100 in wet and sport mode?

    I drove it in wet mode and Speciale was slower than Huracan.

    Huracan LP 610-4 have 0-60 mph 2.8 sec

    2014 Ferrari 458 Speciale have 0-60 mph 2.9 sec

    But I feel what Huracan much more faster.

    Is your name Lion ? (Please fill in your name and other data, makes it more easy to communicate pal! And spend a few $$ to subscribe here)

    You seem to forget that the Huracan is a four-wheel car ! The winner absolute in wet circumstances ...

    One difference is the Wet mode is at the bottom of the dial and starts with a "W."

    Why would you even bother comparing the 0-100 kph times of a 2wd and 4wd?

    Common sense?

    *WET mode has the highest degree of interference from the electronic driver aids

    Because I drove Aventador, Huracan, Speciale and Berilineta in dry condition.

    I had feeling what Lambos are much more faster. I think maybe I had such feeling what Ferraris was in wet mode.

    I can't find any information in internet what is difference in acceleration in wet and sport mode.

    If you know answer please let me know.

    I recommend you at least RACE MODE. Faster, more racy gearshifting and ESC system reduces engine power to a minimum. And have you tried the LAUNCH CONTROL? It's not available in WET MODE.

    It's very doubtful that there are any such data. And what's the point anyway?

    Put it in CT or ESC off and use the Launch control. That's the hardest launch the car is capable of. If the conditions are so that you need wet mode, a hard launch in any rwd car is impossible. As for the faster car? Sure the Huracan is faster - but it's also 6 years younger. If you really want to know, you can buy digital gadgets to mount on your windshield that will measure the 0-100 kph times and so forth - do that. To me at least all this seems a bit strange. Sure we can go to a steep muddy hill where you bring an Aventador and I bring my RR. I promise you I'll be at the top before the Aventator. It's apples and oranges.
    Why do you want to know the difference between the 0-100 kph times in wet mode and in sport? That tells nothing about the 458's actual capabilities. And if you think Lambos are that much faster and if that's what matters to you, I suggest you get a Lambo.

    You can find information on the VDA screen menus. It tells you how strong/early to intervene each of the electronics is.
