Pista is the fastest car in Autocar's supertest!

1.7 seconds faster on a 71 second lap !!!!!!!

 

and there ya go....

 

Good time, but 720s was only .1s slower on Corsas...

Wonder what the 600lt was on.

 

how could the 720s just be 0.1sec slower than the piste on corsas. Would mean on trofeo R the 720 is would be 1 sec faster for sure. When was the 720s test

 

What’s more amazing is the 600lt is the better scoring and preferred car.

 

Splitting hairs at this level, these cars are all stupid fast. I love it though.

 

600LT was faster 0-60 and ranked no.1 overall.

 

They should have put the Performante on the track, would have loved to see how it compares to the LT and Pista.

 

Likely 2nd place based on other track tests.

 

Someone said that the Pista is on Trofeo R. I don't have the issue so I can't say whether that's true or not. I thought Ferrari was using Cup2 on these models, but they did use Corsas on the LF.

 

Different day of course. Different mag too. Take it for what it is -- two different tests.

Is there a link to this article online?

 

No, new Michelin pilotsportcup 2 R on Pista

 

I thought the new Corsa are equivalent to the pilotsport cup. Trofeo R are even softer rubber then both

 

Where is the tipping point that all out performance becomes more important than enjoyment ?
A Mclaren Senna is beyond the reach of common man. Both in performance and attainability,

I'm somewhere between a sweet $30k Lotus Super 7 clone and a $200K 430 scud for pure enjoyment.
Even though I raced "real" formula race cars .

IMO enjoy the cars that you loved in youth and forget performance.
5 Years from now the Senna will be a quaint slug.

 

These are the 488GTB figures, Pista is 2.85 and 211MPH top speed

 

Too funny. British car wins British test, but journo foolishly admits the German car had shot tires and could have been a second and a half faster - and then Pista blew everything away from looks to performance but that all didn't seem to matter either. Hmm. Meanwhile the British ugly duckling wins. O. Kay! Better get the salt shaker and get a big grain out.

 

IMO we have already passed the tipping point.

 

These comparisons have been and continue to be for the most part useless.

 

Look again

 

It is listed as 488GTB but it is the Pista.
0-62 mph( which is 0-100kms) - 600LT- 2.9 seconds, Pista 3.0

 

You don't have any problems when a Ferrari "wins" a test that it objectively loses...

Ferrari isn't alone anymore at the top. That's the reality of it. The Pista will get it's lunch eaten by a 720S on the same tires. The 600LT is in fact a very fast and well received car (just like the 570 and the 675LT were). Is it impossible that the LT version of an already excellent car is actually really enjoyable?

 

I don 't think that they have clocked the cars (Autocar clocks 0-60 and not 0-62 anyway). They have just miss-copied the factory figures.
