The latest issue of the German car magazine Auto Motor und Sport
(AMS) has a comparison between 5 +300 km/h cars. They are all
non modified production cars:
Aston Martin Vanquish
Ferrari 550 Maranello
Lamborghini Murcielago
Mercedes SL55 AMG (unlimited version, a DM 3000 option)
Porsche GT2
They test the cars at the Italian high speed track Nardo
(where you don't have any centrifugal force on the car when doing 240km/h).
They test acceleration 0-100km/h, 0-200km/h, 0-300km/h and topspeed.
The results are surprising:
0-100 km/h:
Aston Martin Vanquish 5.6 s
Ferrari 550 Maranello 4.7 s
Lamborghini Murcielago 3.6 s
Mercedes SL55 AMG 4.6 s
Porsche GT2 4.0 s
0-200 km/h:
Aston Martin Vanquish 17.4 s
Ferrari 550 Maranello 14.6 s
Lamborghini Murcielago 11.4 s
Mercedes SL55 AMG 13.7 s
Porsche GT2 13.1 s
0-300 km/h:
Aston Martin Vanquish 55.0 s
Ferrari 550 Maranello 61.2 s
Lamborghini Murcielago 34.2 s
Mercedes SL55 AMG 32.5 s
Porsche GT2 40.9 s
Top speed:
Aston Martin Vanquish 316 km/h
Ferrari 550 Maranello 306 km/h
Lamborghini Murcielago 330 km/h
Mercedes SL55 AMG 325 km/h
Porsche GT2 315 km/h
The Mercedes Sl55 AMG (with automatic transmission and tons of extra options)
is the fastest car to 300 km/h and only slower in top speed than the twice
as expensive Lamborghini...
Weight of the cars:
Aston Martin Vanquish 1863 kg
Ferrari 550 Maranello 1732 kg
Lamborghini Murcielago 1819 kg
Mercedes SL55 AMG 1974 kg
Porsche GT2 1446 kg
CW value:
Aston Martin Vanquish 0.34
Ferrari 550 Maranello 0.33
Lamborghini Murcielago 0.33
Mercedes SL55 AMG 0.29
Porsche GT2 0.34
The SL 55 AMG is the heaviest car but also has the best CW value.
BMW better build that V10 M5... It has to to 330 km/h in order
to keep its position among the Autobahn stormers...
