Oh that's right, they don't actually build race cars. In all honesty, that massively impressive for that sled, the Huracan appeared to have the upper hand between the two, so good on them for finally making their comically expensive car a touch faster than the much cheaper one. |

So... I guess the point where this stop mattering to average drivers and even experienced track addicts was around the low 8 minute range I suppose lol.
So we only have another 1.5 minute to waste... basically performance that will never be used on the streets or even on any track. |

Porsche used cup 2 R tires for the record run. Most other test of the GT2 RS were conducted using sport cup 2 and there definitely is a huge difference. The McLaren 720s has handedly beaten the the GT2 RS when on the cup 2 tires. The gt2 RS is all about the tires.

While watching the video, 2 things came to mind.
Firstly, I now have even more respect for the GT2RS, as I think the Aventador is in a much higher class. Secondly, that driver know his stuff, there were several moments where I thought he was going to lose it. All in all, a very nice clip. That sound is absolutely awesome. |

Superior chassis is a superior chassis. Porsche has to work extra hard to make the rear wheel drive chassis as fast as a good mid-engine, and every trick they come up with is eventually adopted by everyone else, so it's always somewhat of a losing battle for ultimate speed. Doesn't mean they can't make something that comes out on top, but from an engineering effort perspective, it's harder.

I don’t think this counts as a production car due to the full roll cage in the Lambo. The GT2 does not have a full cage.

These cars are 600hp and tq, at the wheels. They are also max torque at low RPMs. Massive difference. Looking at something like a GT350 where you'd think the hp/weight would favor the mustang, you'd be wrong, because it's way down on torque at rpm, way down on hp at the wheels, and AWD will blast through lower speeds. BMW never claimed SAE at the crankshaft.

The math with the M5 trapping in a 1/4 at 10.9 @ 4300lbs is an undeniable 600hp crank and 540 to the ground. Regardless of torque, it falls too quickly to be a substantial difference unlike diesels that can sustain torque which is why they have more "usable" horsepower/ torque and can outrun BMWs on the 1/4. |
