short summary and verdict:

Nurburgring, 7:47 mins.

it could have done better, the engine still has a lot of reserve to deliver, it loses a bit due to understeer, brakes are perfect, no fading


Hockenheim, 1:11.8 mins.

even though it is so powerful with its 640 bhp, the handling is absolutely perfect and save even for the unexperienced driver

again it shows understeer, no tendency to oversteer at all which would give it some more advantage

traction is perfect thanks to the (heavy) AWD


0-200-0 km/h, 16.1 secs.

enourmos power, perfect traction and tranny with paddle shifters, the brakes stand it, even though the heavy weight, nothing to complain about


max. later acceleration: 1.3g

thanks to the Pirelli P Zero Corsa tyres


36m slalom, 134 km/h

10 km/h fatser than the predeccessor, indirect steering, the car feels heavier than 1.8 tons, just a little oversteer, could be even better


110 m eveqasion test, 153 km/h

easy to manage, feels very save, with just a bit oversteer, controlable all the time, no suprise to the driver


wet handling, 1:29.2

a big suprise, even though the sporty Pirelli P Zero Corsa semi-slicks, the LP640 shows a perfect handling, feels very save with some understeer in the beginning and just a very little oversteer at the end

beats the Konigsegg CCR and Pagani Zonda to 4-5 secs. !!!


makes fun to drive, scores 9 from 10 points,
not a very suitable daily drive, steering needs strong arms

As i'm sure you already saw, I already knew the numbers but i've been waiting for the scans!

Thank you so much Axel!!!

My guess for the LP640 on the Nurburgring was 7:42, while I thought the LP640 would dip into Zonda F territory on the Hockenheim..

Overall points higher than Carrera GT, Zonda F or Carrera GT. Nice job.

P.S. - I'll update all of my data threads tomorrow and once again, you rock!

I would've guessed low 7:4x's too, but track temps look decent (for HRing, anyway). Good downforce improvement over the old Murci. First time I've seen the wing.

the verdict sounds pretty much like:

accelerate fast, brake hard , make a turn and accelerate fast again

rather than:

make a fast turn

Did the wing become a factory option?

The acceleration data came from the AMuS High Speed Test, if I'm right.
+That wing looks ugly on it.

Next Supertest? (Hope that will be the 997 GT3 RS )

No it doesn't. It looks like the R-GT this way.

WHUBAA... drop down... saPHBAAAGHW, and then after that you just drop in, just ride the barrel and get pitted, so pitted like that.

That is, assuming you want your car to look like a disastrous race car that consistently had trouble even placing in the top ten, particularly in ALMS.

If, but disastrous, you mean really really...really good looking, then I agree with you.
