Ok...
Just read my "Automobile" magazine review of this particular vehicle. It was compared side by side with the F 360 Modena and the new Gallardo. Here are the pertinent numbers for the GT:
Supercharged and Intercooled 5.4 Litre DOHC V-8
following are US spec numbers
Horsepower: 500 at 6000
Torque: 500 lb-ft at 4500 for comparison the 360 does 275 at 4750 and Gallardo does 376 at 4500
0-60=3.8 seconds
speed in gears:
(1) 62 mph
(2) 94 mph
(3) 131 mph
(4) 171 mph
(5) 190 mph
(6) 200+
Estimated Suggested price = $ 135,000 (yeah right - like a dealer is going to let one go at that price).
This is a serious machine. It will be a true supercar.
...and how about this, some of the best gas mileage in the class: 14mpg city/21mpg highway (360 = 10/16 and Gallardo is 9/14)
Cheers...
