The 0-100 kmh isn't 3.5 is 4/4.5 sec The 0-60 mph is 3.5/3.8 sec 0-200: 12.7 sec 1/4 mile: 11.8

Can someone delete the Tsukuba laptime of 1:06? The F40 already has the 1:03 laptime, with a reference.

can this really beat the Carrera GT in this track.....or was a horrible driver driving the Carrera GT

FastestLaps 3 years ago
Why do you think it couldn't beat CGT? It is 280 kg lighter. By the way - CGT lap time does not show the full potential of that car. The driver (Gan San from Best Motoring) said he wasn't pushing it to the limits. I think CGT can beat that time by a second or two. It's got potential. Especially in such a fast, wide open track as Suzuka.

In the video it was said that the track had had some slight changes to it since they drove on it with the F40 and F50 and that that caused the slower time.

4.6 seconds ??? Its wrong ! F40 beat 60mph under 4 seconds

Marco 3 years ago
No, acceleration figures are not wrong. 4,6 is from AMS, but Quattroruote set 4,56 (11,3 0-200) and Auto, another italian magazine, set 4,50 (11,59 0-200). 0-60(96,5km/h) under 4 second is test result from same english and american magazine, but they didn't set a 0-100 time, but a 0-96,5 time. However you can't take a time (0-60 for example)from a magazine and another (0-200 for example) for a different time. All acceleration figures must be from the same test.

F40 did 96 Km/h (60 mph) in 1st gear to the limiter. It means 3.8s to 60 mph, a gearshift, and 4"6 to 100 Km/h.

917K 3 years ago
Is impressive that can touch 200 Km/h in just 6,4. Ferrari Enzo can't do better. European tests not confirm under 6,7.

Anonymous 2 years ago
I know that shit of mph and km/h and you diferences... Make 0,8 seconds to run 96-100 km/h ??? No way its wrong The correct 0-100Km/h its:4.1 s http://www.globalcar.com/datasheet/Ferrari/1987_Ferrari_F40.htm< /a>

Anonymous 2 years ago
Its 4.1 seconds to 0-100km/h Its impossible 96-100 in 0,8s

Ferrari needs to make another one of these. There is no reason modern cars are all 500 or more lbs heavier.

FastestLaps 2 years ago
There is a reason. But it basically.. well... it sucks. The additional weight comes mostly from additional reinforcement in car bodies. They have to make cars that succeed NCAP crash tests. And safety nowadays is more important than performance. And don't forget about luxuries. Things like climate control are essential even in very hardcore sports cars like Porsche 991 GT3 RS. People become more and more addicted to those luxuries.

0-60 tests are sometimes as low as 3.2 seconds for the F40, and the weight is 1100 kg.

Ryo 2 years ago
all the data of the car is wrong all the right stuff is in the website www.ultimatecarpage.com everything except the 0 100 seconds

F355 2 years ago
Just a few years ago AutoBild clocked 0-100km/h in 4.0s incl. shift to 2nd gear (you cannot reach 100 in 1st). AutoMotor&Sport needed only 6.4s for 100-200km/h (only 1 shift to 3rd). 4.6 to 100 and 321 vmax. Quattroruote recorded 326.5 km/h vmax.

Sometimes i think...In Suzuka times of F40 and F50 have traffic of Porsche GT2...And Nissan its a simple time attack...

how the hell does this car with 478bhp do 0-186mph in 31 seconds???

Anonymous 2 years ago
Mass, gearing, aerodynamics. Power to weight ratio is far more important than absolute horsepower.
