Aventador vs GT2 RS

It's a tad nippy that there Lambo

Wow, absolutely obscene!

[Phooey]

Even more obscene - (if i am correct) - this is at Bruntingthorpe? When i was there (Vmax), so was the Noble M600. The Noble hit 205mph, and that was from coming out of the bottom bend with speed. It looks like this Lambo hit 200+ from starting on the straight (after the bend)!

Any Aventador owners thinking of doing the next Vmax?

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

Holy sheeet!
That was quick!

Was just thinking that myself:



Sweet Jesus the LP700 is quick though, that is utterly mental.

Jeez Louise! Wasn't expecting that, that's a different paradigm fast!

I seem to remember that a couple of people tested whether a standing start delivered a lower Vmax and discovered that it didn't..

That's interesting. There surely must be a couple of mph in it? I can imagine it's not night and day. My thoughts would be, to extract the last 5-10% of the vehicles top-speed would take far far longer than to reach the speed at which the rolling car (coming out of the corner) has already gained. There's got to be a small advantage on a supercar capable of 200+ mph?

I'd quite like to see the MP4-12C against the Aventador Awesome video!

I didn't realise until now that I didn't even think about how the Aventador drives, I just don't care.

Look at it.

[bromers2]

Wow - mega quick.

The GT2RS is very fast and was surprised that the SLS nearly kept with it.

Finally managed to watch the video, damn the Aventador sounds good on the two-step...

Look at it.

Stunning cars and amazing machines, and to think they focussed more on handling this time around after the Murcielago.
My favourite picture of the Aventador so far.

That is absolute perfection.

Going to need to get myself darn sarf to hopefully catch the PH member's VI Aventador at a meet or something.

There really isn't. I did many hundreds of runs there in my Ruf GT2 at multiple VMaxs including several above 200mph on GPS. I tested from a standstill as well and there was never more than 1-2mph in it, with the standing start marginally lower speed.

However the difference will vary by car in terms of it's cornering vs it's acceleration. My Ruf cornered well on tracktires/suspension and was not that quick off the line due to being rwd and manual. A 4wd car with a non-manual box and big power would likely be as fast or relatively faster using a standing start than it would be through the corner.

Now lets see it up against a 4WD 997.2 PDK TURBO-S

Thank you, and goodnight.

It is, there was a period when Club Scuderia organised some fun events/runs in Cheshire but these days, nothing pretty much.
