Yikes I remember reading the issue with the first one. I’ve been a subscriber so long I don’t actually think I even pay them anymore... They just keep coming

Im almost curious about same model improvements. The 16 mx5 picked up a lot on the 06. The late rx8 only picked up 3 seconds on its original. The 08 c63 is within spitting distance of the facelifted coupe.
P85d tesla slower than expected i think.

Tell you what...
LL4 Mercedes-AMG GT R (2018)
2:43.4
LL4 Dodge Viper ACR (2016) 2:44.2
I wanna see the telemetry trace comparison between these two.
Disappointing that the NuGT didn’t show up. Awful. Or maybe it’ll show up next year, same as the 720S?
Also, LL5 would have at most two god-tier cars present. Somehow, someway, Car and Driver must get a hold of either the Valkyrie or whatever Mercedes will call their Project One hypercar. Or maybe we’ll settle with a LaFerrari Aperta.

EDIT: That AMG R was 0.8s faster than the ACR. What more can the Huracan Performante do? The Trofeo R tires alone are worth a second over the Ecsta ACR tires.

I can’t believe the V6 1LE is that fast. Faster than:
BMW 1M
996 911 Turbo
‘07 Exige S
E90 M3
Golf R

I’m with you. Very surprised that the AMG beat out the ACR.

Incredible - how much time do you think modern superhighperformance tires are worth? Except for the R, these are all cars that are about 10 or more years old.
