Autocar: Enzo does 0-100-0 in 10.98

World record? I remember Mark going 0-200 in 11 seconds in a 917-30. I bet that would have been faster 0-100-0. I bet a modern F1 car would be even faster. That said for a street legal car both of those times are super.

 

He means world record for a road going production car, it was previously held by the Mclaren F1 at 11.5 seconds I believe

 

i believe that it was road and track that did a very similar test...but i think that it was 0-150-0 (or maybe 0-100-0). they had a few different classes of cars and they also had the enzo compete...they put it in a class of its own since its time was vastly superior to the others. they pitted a Murci against a Saleen S7 (murci won i believe). i dont have this issue of R&T around my place right now, but if anyone can dig this up and compare it to autocar's test, that would be cool.


I think that road tests such as these are a better predictor of how well a car performs (obviously with a skid pad and slolem). since it has accel above 60 mph and also incorporates the car's braking ability.

 

Road&Track (8/03) had the Enzo doing

Time:
0-100: 6.9 sec
transition: 0.8
100-0: 4.0

Distance:
0-100: 557 feet
transition: 122
100-0: 275

Total: 0-100-0 in 11.7sec and 954 ft

Just noticed it might be important to note that "the Enzo reached a peak speed of 104.1mph...because different test procedures are employed where no braking occurs until after 100mph is registered on the radar gun (previous tests were done with a 5th wheel). Consequently, no anticipation is permitted while accelerating..."

 

What other cars were tested? Any other Ferraris?

 

Here are the facts & figures for Supercars;No other Ferrari was tested.


Carrera GT-
1.63 secs 30 MPH
3.72 secs 60 MPH
7.31 secs 100 MPH;

Total= 11.63 secs

Wow, that is a screamin' 60-100 time... 3.17s!

Interesting the effect of light weight... it jumps to an early lead, then gets passed by the Enzo at high speed... but then way out-brakes the field back down to zero! That would be cool to watch side-by-side!!

That's a rocket! With a parachute for brakes, unfortunately.
But again, it would have been fun to watch side-by-side... its way ahead and starts braking almost 2 seconds before the rest of the field... but then the rest of the field comes to a stop about the same time... but distance-wise, it would be waayyyy further down the track than everyone else.
