    2.4s to 60 is insane for a rwd car on road tyres. Unless they used Fiorano which has a little downhill..not sure how much it could help the numbers.

    Likely they used Fiorano, as R&T's photo is taken there.
    Downhill is worth a few tenths, but still a mighty fast car.

    I can only say that these numbers are the same as the MT's P1

    The fiorano-downhill is a twelve years old story, when there was the "Enzo performance day". I remember tons of "Ferrari dirty tricks, downhill give almost a second" etc etc etc
    0-100mph were from 6.4s to 7.0s... R&t testing a costumer car (on flat) did 6.6.... ;)

    Please can an owner post their own Vbox (or other tool) numbers for comparison?

    So Ferrari let RandT figure the car AND print the numbers but wouldn't let others do the same... Hmm. FXXK esq spec I guess.

    Having just driven a friend's LaF, I can say its acceleration felt more powerful than anything I had ever driven, including 918, Veyron and FXX. (I haven't driven a P1)

    It is just indescribable.
    As a kid, I always wondered what a 9sec 1/4 mile car would feel like, but I never imagined it would have air conditioning, or turn and stop like a GT race car.

    No, LaF's 9.7 seconds @ 149.1 mph just edged out Motor Trend's 9.8 sec @ 148.9 mph P1 test.

    Uh! Sorry for my immeasurable mistake... lol

    Even these 900+ hp modern and high technology engines are affected by temperature and barometric pressure. With no conditions data we are not able to conclude something with that 0"1 @ 0.2 mph difference tested in different days. TOO close to say who is the faster car. When difference is so close with no conditions data simply you can not be so SURE on side by side results.

    The only way to take for good these close results tested in different days will be the C&D result because is ambient corrected.

    So tell me. On the base of what you are always so sure at these conclusions? You are lounghing so you are sure of this. We are here for an explaination. But it need to be based.

    The real measure of comparison will be always the customer car. Since we take for measure just factory cars we are not sure to go in the right way because of these cars usually are not so close to the production specs or simply not sure of this. Are you never visit an automotive factory in your life? I think you need! Well, every automotive factory has a development and reserch department. In Ferrari this is called REPARTO ESPERIENZE. What is their job? They usually use specific test cars, they test every parts with intensive use or long distance with these cars. They can try these cars at the highest tolerance. They can test new parts with these cars. They can test development parts or new solutions with these cars. They also are there to push these cars at their limits. They can also use these cars for press cars. It is difficult to think these cars will be close to the production ones since they use one of these for press because every car parameter can be manipulated up and down being US not sure to be tested the definitive one. SO, I SAID you this point 1000th of times. Hope this help for the last. I'm who is lounghing when you are too master in your statement. Sorry for confidence. It's visible because you give too much at these points....mmmmmmh...for nonsense?!

    250P I agree.

    Sidestepping your incomprehensible jibes, I find it amusing that a few people question only Ferrari test cars, especially given the proven fact that customer cars frequently turn out identical numbers. Funny indeed...

    All the factory press cars ( not just the Ferraris) sometimes turn out identical numbers and sometimes not, sometimes not sure at all. Have you check these proven facts correctly? I'm sure you don't as people usually does. Sometimes identical numbers means nothing in different conditions.

    Boooooooooooni !! (keep calm) ;)
    as usual. ALL mnfrs sometimes put extra-hp, and/or modified setup.
    watching the very fist datas, we'd see
    30-60 LaFe 0.1s faster
    60-100 P1 0.2s
    100-150: LaFe 0.1s
    ..not surprised, they have boh similar output, laFe more hp, but P1 has surely more torque-peak, from turbos and bigger e-engine too. and dont't forget laFe is V12.
    I' dont know about LaFe, but when MT tested the P1, conditions were so good: low degree, driver only, official unit, surely no full-tank...
    I'm pretty sure, after 240kph LaFe'll be faster.
    About track, very hard to say, unfortunally about LaFe we've just a un-official lap from EVO :(

    Finally. Merging into 120mph highway traffic should be a breeze on short ramps.

    9.8 sec to 150 is stunning.

    I guess the second fastest prod car is the Porsche 918
    887 HP
    944 lb of torque.
    Top Track speed is 214 mph
    0-60= 2.5 sec.
    1/4= 9.9 sec. @ 146 mph

    Think the 918 had a 2.2 0-60 by one tester.

    LaF numbers are fantastic. R&T (or C&D?... but I think R&T) measured a 3.1 for the enzo, didn't they? Never saw as quick a time in any other tests however...
