Top Gear Test Track Leaderboard

SF90 is the 2nd fastest production car ever tested on the Top Gear track. Only car that has gone faster is the Koenigsegg Jesko Attack. The 992 GT3 RS was just tested and was 3.5 seconds slower.

The SF90 is 4,000 lbs as driven, yet still laps faster than everything else except a 3,100lb dedicated track Koenigsegg (road legal) with massive downforce and 1280-1600 hp depending on fuel.

It has also bested every road car from McLaren (including the Senna), and everything from Lamborghini during track tests. The SF90 isn’t even trying to be a track car. It’s really more of a mid-engine, 2-seat GT than anything else. It’s absolutely amazing, and in my opinion is the best car under a $1M. Ignore the haters.

The Senna isn’t on this list. Top Gear apparently never tested it. However, the Senna has been tested on 3 tracks that the SF90 has also been tested on (2 dry tracks and 1 wet track), and the SF90 was faster on both dry tracks. I’m sure with better wet-handling tires, it would have been faster on the wet track as well.

McLaren Senna / SF90 Stradale
Mortefontaine 1:24.70 / 1:22.86
Autocar Wet Handling Track 1:17.70 / 1:21.10
Autocar Dry Handling Track 1:03.80 / 1:03.60

 

Sennas came with Trofeo R’s, which I believe have been shown to be faster than the Cup 2s that come on the SF90.

 

it may not be, but a 4,000lb, AWD hybrid is still running faster laps than McLaren’s most track-focused production car, one that only weighs 2,886 lbs wet, so it’s a win for Ferrari regardless.

 

LOL, you edited your post from 7 years to 5 years and you’re still wrong. Senna’s first model year was 2019.

Regardless, the 765LT, Artura, 750S, and STO are all as new or newer than the SF90, yet the SF90 is a faster track car than all of them. The Revuelto will probably be the slowest of all of them.

 

Good find. Another comparison.

So that’s 2 races for the Senna and 2 for the SF90 Stradale. The Senna, a track-focused car that weighs over 1,000 lbs less (it’s one of the lightest supercars you can buy), and has massive aero that can create 1760lbs of downforce, yet it still loses 50% of the time to the SF90, which is a GT. It’s honestly embarrassing for McLaren.

The SF90 XX is Ferrari’s true Senna competitor, and it’ll embarrass the Senna even worse.

I just noticed you’re from the UK. Now it makes sense why you’re trying so hard to defend the Senna.

 

Let me clarify. If I built a RWD, track-focused car with just under 800HP, that only weighed 2,800’ish lbs, with aero so aggressive that it creates 1,750+ lbs of downforce at 155 mph, that crushes the Pista on all 8 courses they’ve both been timed on, but it loses half of the time around a road course against a 4,000lb GT hybrid with almost no dedicated aero bits, I’d personally be embarrassed.

Maybe McLaren shouldn’t be embarrassed. But I certainly don’t think they should be proud.

 

it’s a bona-fide “GT supercar”, with hyper-car performance, hence its prowess around a road course.

 

I’m embarrassed for them. It’s a pathetic showing for their “fastest track-focused road Hypercar” (their words).

 

Cool. But the thing is your opinion is irrelevant to the above facts. Not only does no one care what car you’d choose, it also doesn’t change the fact that Senna doesn’t perform nearly as well as it should, or the fact that the SF90 performs far better than it should.

 

Of course. It’s my thread. You only come into threads in the SF90 forum to try and discredit the SF90 in any way you can. You came into this one to try to argue that the Senna is a far older model than it actually is, again, as a way to discredit the SF90, because you can’t stand the fact that it not only outperforms your Pista, but also every production road car from McLaren and Lambo. Unfortunately for you, you were wrong and you made a fool of yourself. Now, when you don’t have any facts to back up your arguments, you resort to subjective opinions like you’d “rather” own a Senna. So yes, I responded to remind you that feelings don’t trump facts, and no one cares what you’d “rather own”. If you don’t want to get called out, stop being a troll.
