Certainly looks rapid but 4x4 helps & im really not impressed with the fact the engine warning light is on!!

[militantmandy]

Brisk!

[MrTickle]

Wow!

At 3:43 in the video you can see what looks like a Noble M600 parked up on the left.

Wonder what the outcome was between that and the Lambo?

Running it against two RWD cars is not really that comparable is it. They should have used the Turbo S, at least for the first 1/4 mile it might have been closer.

Beautiful car that Aventador though

If this is Bruntingthorpe (?), when i was at Vmax - the Noble did 205mph, but that was with it coming out of the bottom corner with speed. If the Lambo did 200, from a standing start (after the corner), then i would think the M600 would be the slower car.

The exhaust note is actually quite disappointing i thought - a bit quiet - this is from hearing it in the flesh at the PH Sunday Service.

Don't see the point v the other 2 cars

458 and Mp4 are the cars in that league even throw in a zonda.

as others have said would have been interesting to see the turbo S upto 1/4 mile though.

But BHp wins the vmax days every time and 700 of them is going to take some catching.

Unverifed performance - why did they not put a vbox on it FFS - it would probably be 26/27 to 300kph at brunters and they tested there. What is the matter with autocar.

My slushbox tip even in 800 form would make that Lamborghini look like it is going backwards

They are too busy concentrating on being incredibly boring people to watch and listen to

Really winds me up - so the manufacturer claims - well put it to the test FFS - why put it against two cars that it knows it will win against - the RS does 29 secs to 300kph so what did they expect.

IIRC standing start or coming off the bottom bend doesn't make much difference at Brunters - you can't fully open the taps until you're pointing reasonably straight to get the power down if coming from the bend

Try that again with a 997 Gen2 Turbo with PDK - Autocar figured one at 2.9 to 60 last year. Sounds like much more of a fair fight, that one, even if they are almost half the price...

[taaffy]

agree ....pdk would close the gap and there would probably not be much in it with the lambo to 120mph if the the gt2 had launch capability ..both the lambo and the sls had launch control which makes a considerable difference .... lambo would pull a lead at higher speed as it has more hp though ....

Pretty bullst bar room test though, if these 2 cars met on a quiet road the duel would be over by circa 120 as any higher speed takes longer to scrub off if plod appears ....
on a rolling start (road situation) the gt2 would have more torque and less weight to move ....

It does!

Agree with the Turbo S comments above, this vid shows Turbo S and standard GT2 albeit a rolling start

You're 50% correct, it doesn't have PDK
