Great vid.

Ferrari wisely stayed out, as they knew the Ducati would monster an LF.

Interesting to see the P1 and 918 so slow from 0 to 60mph.

3.0 secs is SLOW?

For a million-dollar car, 3.2 and 3.0 seconds to 60mph is glacial. The £200k Huracan is as fast / faster. And some £50k hatchbacks with a cheap remap next year will be as fast / faster to 60mph (VW R400, MB A45 AMG 2).

0-60 is irrelevant in the real world and limited by how brutal the driver wants to be and tyre grip.

This does make me smile... I LOVE my cars - but - to ride a 'fast' bike fast is to live! Watching the cream of Hyper cars off the line be distanced by the bike is only half the story.... (almost) Anyone can lock a bike down to a fast straight line sprint, but to lay these speeds in to corners is what a bike is allllllll about. Bikes are a multidimensional skill that those who don't venture out of cars will never experience... This is true pilot skill...

Another thing the video didn't mention - the bike also sounded the best! smile

No 0-200kph is

Saying that 5.7 from the 918 was cool, my Choice with all that torque.

I'd wager the Huracan on that day on that surface with one of those drivers wouldn't have gone as fast.

Seems to me Bruntingthorpe isn't particularly conducive to absolutely the quickest launches and I doubt Sutcliffe and whoever else was driving are the absolute best at getting a car off the line.

I'm looking forward to seeing more tests on the Huracan, when I drove it , it didn't seem that fast relatively speaking anyway. I'll be suprised if anyone else manages a sub 3 seconds to 60 in it.
With regard hatch backs being that quick next year with a re map I very much doubt it. If the law of ever decreasing returns applies that extra second off the 0-60 dash is a massively expensive one.

'Kph', whats that? Sounds like some sort of Johnny Foreigner invention!

I'm surprised the cars got near the bike. Wasn't that much in it as far as I could see. The difference between all these cars is splitting hairs I reckon!

The koeniggsegg one:1 is quoted to be able to do 0-250 in 20s in this months evo.... Find that very hard to believe!! Astonishing is its anything under 30s to that speed.

Having been shotgun in a One:1 running 'only' 1150hp and on Super Sports not Cups, from around 20km/h up to over 300km/h took a measly 12-13 seconds (on camera) so I can believe every bit of it!

Eats the p1 , la Ferrari and 918 for breakfast in a straight line . They are not even close in ferocity

But acceleration over 200 never mind over 220+ has got to be slowed down a hell of a lot 13s to 186 leaves 7 to to get an extra 64mph.... Accelerating like a hot hatch 0-60 from 186 is surely absurd!

Can't wait to see some videos
