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

Anonymous 17/11/07, 23:11:34
can this really beat the Carrera GT in this track.....or was a horrible driver driving the Carrera GT

FastestLaps 17/11/07, 23:58:33
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.

Heyhuub 18/11/07, 00:21:06
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.

FastestLaps 18/11/07, 00:26:43
So you know Japanese? :D Wow!

JiSiN 18/11/07, 04:50:48
who can understand japanese? ^^v sugoi~ ano nihongo wakarimashita ka? demo anata ha gaijin desu ne~ doushite nihongo ga dekiru no?

Heyhuub 18/11/07, 11:15:57
Hehe, no i don't know japanese, i watched an english version of the vid. Or it had subtitles, i don't really remember.

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

Marco 26/11/07, 09:09:14
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.

917K 26/11/07, 10:23:29
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 26/11/07, 10:40:12
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 01/12/07, 22:25:16
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 04/12/07, 07:44:35
Its 4.1 seconds to 0-100km/h Its impossible 96-100 in 0,8s

Anonymous 04/12/07, 14:36:16
Ferrari needs to make another one of these. There is no reason modern cars are all 500 or more lbs heavier.

FastestLaps 04/12/07, 19:14:04
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.

Anonymous 06/01/08, 02:59:50
0-60 tests are sometimes as low as 3.2 seconds for the F40, and the weight is 1100 kg.

Ryo 26/03/08, 11:30:13
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 30/07/08, 22:05:31
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...

Anonymous 30/09/08, 20:57:01
the 0-100 has been made by a child and for the 1/4 mile the driver was a schumacher turbo seems...

Anonymous 10/10/08, 15:07:26
one of the greatest car in the history just AWESOMEEE.

Anonymous 16/10/08, 04:39:54
how the hell does this car with 478bhp do 0-186mph in 31 seconds???

Anonymous 16/10/08, 05:58:16
Mass, gearing, aerodynamics. Power to weight ratio is far more important than absolute horsepower.
