URBAN LEGEND

Fast indeed. All in the March 2015 Automobile magazine.

Sheesh. So there's something to the hype about these 'hype'r cars!

Callsign_Vega

The LaFerrari does 1/4 9.6 @ 157 mph stock? Are you ******** me that's insanely fast lol.

That's almost as fast as Dio's stock Z06 is gonna be.

true story. Automobile magazine March 2015.

1.8t

While insane, I would be surprised if privately owned LF's would produce similar numbers. Ferrari is notorious for sending a team with the car to be tested to effectively make it a ringer.

500

Read this today, 150 traps straight out of the wrapper...sweet.

Until the batteries die....

I don't like these battery-powered cars.
Cool and fast as they are.

URBAN LEGEND

Still have 700 plus horsepower until the Kers Recharges...

vrybad

I do agree.
At 700 hp it's still probably a 10 second car.

MVR 155

He'll just have to pull the cover off of his "POS, 1000+HP GTR" and call up the 17yo kid to drive it when the "roll racing" haters come talking their trash!!!!! LOL!!!!!!!!!!!

Again the Ferrari was probably supplied with a whole tech team, and with a non-OEM ECU. Typical Ferrari.

No tech team was mentioned. Unseen items can be possible on both cars to be honest.

It's really a great time to be a car enthusiast. Lots of incredible cars out there and more coming soon. The new "hybrid / gasoline" combos ala NSX, 918, LaFerrari are pretty incredible. No one posted a video, so let me post my favorite. Looks like a great time..... shifting into 7th at 208.... go figure.


Just because the whole C7Z06 sensitivity is funny, I have to add: "But the C7 Z06 is faster, yes?" (Joke laugh.)

NytmereZ

Meh.... stock auto Z06's are gonna runs 9's all day.... 8's with an air filter and tune...

now back to reality.....

MVR 155

You forgot the MS109 and drag radials!!!!!

furiousox

holy expletive trap speed from the Ferrari lmao

ajjaro

That's insane, i can't wait to see test data on the Koe****segg Agera R and One.

The Rep said that both should comfortably be Sub 6:50 on the nurburgring. And we should expect the One to do Sub 9 in the high 160 - low 170 mph neighborhood.

bwhhahahhahahahahaha best thread eva!!!!!!!!

At first I thought there is no way this is possible - but running the numbers through my brain in relation to modified GTR's (as it is my only common frame of reference for trap speeds and ET's etc.) - I think it may in fact be possible - even the One:1 claims of high 160's (I don't think low 170's though).

The One:1 is 1348 KG - or just under 3000 lbs. It has 1348 HP.
GTR's are about 1000 lbs heavier. Many state each 10 lbs lost is 1 HP of additional power gained. Making the extra HP about 100 for the One:1.

That's ~1450 HP all together.

An Alpha 12 is about 1250 awhp on average (of course there are higher numbers as you can tune to the ragged edge for that one pass to get that ET and MPH)...

With 15% drivetrain loss that is ~1470 HP. A12's trap 165 MPH on average (162-167) - highest ever was 170 MPH.

So that works.

They are mid 8 second cars.

The Laferrari is about 950 HP with a "dry" weight of 1255 KG. That said C&D place the actual weight at 3200 lbs. IF that HP rating is accurate and isn't understated - this number doesn't seem to work for me.

the extra 800 lbs = 80 additional HP to a similar GTR. so 1030 HP.
A GTR would need to dyno about 880 awhp for ~1035 HP.

I would say that most GTR's in that awhp range will trap 150-152 MPH at the most - on average in the very high 140's and low low 150's.
156 MPH is usually in the 1000 awhp range.

Of course I can't say for sure - but the P1 is 3300 lbs with 903 claimed HP. So 100 lbs heavier and with 47 less HP.

Even giving the Laferrari the additional HP for the weight difference - the Laferrari is only 60 HP up - with a claimed almost 8 MPH trap difference, it seems too much to me.

Also super advanced F1 electronics such as launch control, e diff, TC, and active aero to name a few.
