Motor Trend - Fastest Ferrari

If the race was a mile, the SF90 would catch back up and be gone.

Neither car would be near their top speed by a mile.

 

Both are fast. Sometimes one is maybe smidge faster than the other depending on who you ask. This the gist?

 

The gist is that the 296 is the fastest Ferrari per dollar.

There is no better performance per dollar car from any current production Ferrari.

 

Almost new it’s even better. GTB’s start a little under $300K for a virtually new car. And they aren’t just fast, they’re fun.

 

No doubt!

 

9 out of 10 times NO! The SF90 is the quicker car.

 

And it’s a rounding error. One is less nimble, sounds meh and makes a better paperweight.

 

What an uneducated comment...

 

These cars are hardly driven, especially the SF90’s. The SF90 has a better presence, hence the better paperweight. IMO

My apologies for upsetting you.

 

I am not upset at all. If you believe that Ferraris are not being driven, then they all are paperweights. It is sad if that is the case over there.

 

One may argue, in the real world, who cares after a quarter mile - for a red light contest (no that I care, actually) the SF90 wins easily because it reaches 40 kph in 0.7s while the 296 needs 1.1s.
The funny thing is, as far as standing start is concerned, the 296 apparently accelerates more just around the quarter mile mark - regaining ground before, and building up more speed, temporarily.
After 1 km the SF90 is already pulling away, since it reaches 300kph before crossing the line while the 296 arrives just 0.4s later but has not yet reached 300kph.
The reality is that both cars are very fast though.

 

Simple physics , drive from four wheels will plant the vehicle better and give you better acceleration, just look at rally cars for proof

 

“Ferraris aren’t about numbers”


Except when being compared to other Ferraris, it seems

 

We will argue about anything. Epic thread

 

FIFY.

 

And then there’s this Porsche to embarrass them all?

what a stupid thread.

 

More than likely it’s due to the weather that particular day (Density Altitude or D/A). If they had a SF90 at the same track at the same time, the SF90 probably would have been a little faster. I’ve owned and love both so I’m not biased at all. They are both very fast. It’s just that the SF90 is typically faster more often and in more situations, especially from a dead stop on a non-prepped surface. It’s also typically faster around a road course.

 

Well, if EVs are your thing, the Lucid and Tesla Plaid are both faster than the Porsche. But EVs aren’t something I personally care about, regardless of their acceleration times.

 

You obviously didn’t read the article. This new Porsche model is faster than the Plaid and the Lucid.
