The Germans and British tend to be conservative with their power and performance "claims" whereas the Italians are a rule to themselves.
I wouldn't be surprised to hear that the HP can actually launch to the moon in a nano second
Well, the Germans anyway..... I wouldn't be surprised to hear that the HP can actually launch to the moon in a nano second

Ps I'm also more consistent in my arguement, you keep moving the goalposts.... it's not ok for sv mag time to be off but ok for 918 factory time to be faster?????
Imo I'm rather more consistent than you My point is and has been all along that the 918 is much faster than the sv in every single test on any other track you can find, not how far off the factory times they both are. If the sv is as quick as claimed being only slightly off a 918 as Lambo have done, that's absolutely not at all seen from just any other time set anywhere else. It'll be no different for the performante but as i said, we'll see later anyway.
P.S and you're shifting the goalposts now claiming the 918 is just using electronic systems to be quick while the SV 'does not flatter the driver'...

quote from road and track at 918 launch:P.S and you're shifting the goalposts now claiming the 918 is just using electronic systems to be quick while the SV 'does not flatter the driver'...
The state of the art is holy-hell-crazy-pants-impossible fast.
The best way to illustrate the 918's speed potential is to describe what happened on the press launch. There was a Turbo S at the media drive. It was driven by Porsche test driver Timo Kluck, an affable dude with a driving resume a mile long. Each journalist got seven laps in the 918 playing chase to Kluck in the 911. And two laps in, almost all the journalists present had to lift to avoid running Kluck over.
This is not a statement about the driving talent of the average journalist. Far from it; journalists aren't known for being decent drivers. But it speaks volumes about the 918's insane thrust and eye-sucking grip.
Kluck was on the ragged hairy edge in the Turbo S, one of the fastest street cars on the planet. He was skittering over the limit and generally driving the wee out of the car. And the 918 might as well have been driven by a dead hamster for all it took to keep up.

Wow, its even got "go faster stripes" as well. Hope they don't weigh too much, that could add 10 seconds to the lap time 70proof said:

dear sir, they called it a performante, as performance gain has nothing to do with weight saving, otherwise it would be called superleggera..... hthjuno, heavy stripes are fine, heck, stick some wing shields on it too.

Amazing time.
Lambo now in a class of its own. The only supercar brand to have 2 roadcars under the magic 7min Nurb mark.
How many have Mclaren in comparison under the 7 minute barrier,can you assist as I cant seem to find any info Lambo now in a class of its own. The only supercar brand to have 2 roadcars under the magic 7min Nurb mark.
Speed round track is 80% down to road holding, which is mechanical grip.
Even if a 720S posted this time I would also call bullst on it.
If you really believe manufacturers don't cheat then your just deluding yourself. Once a customer car is out + on the track then we will see a comparison.
As for additional aero that too would be seen,unless of course it was invisible aero,Which as it happens is the new system that Lamborghini use and have patented
Cant people just congratulate Lambo for once

Deposit paid and very excited. Couldnt care less about the ring time, not why I've ordered one. This will get the blood pumping on a sunny Sunday morning for me. I'm at Geneva next week to have a good look around the car, can't wait
Very jealous. Lots of fun heading your way Edited by Juno on Thursday 9th March 22:09

That is stunning, close to perfection ascetically I'd say. I think it's possible that in 30 years or so people will laud that car as they do the Miura now.And as a side note, can we just stick Rambo and Juno in a closed room and leave them to act like children in private, it's becoming hugely tiresome.
