it's the most powerful Ferrari ever made
hildie not the fix it around three
seconds so does every other none
favourite car these days
is here is there from the standing star
after 10 seconds it's doing a hundred
and forty miles an hour ten
that's fast
and the four eight eighths comprehensive
rewrite doesn't stop at the engine a
quarter of a million pounds also buys
you f1 grade aerodynamics and an
exhausts made of in Canal which is the
same stuff they use in rocket engines
inside meanwhile every inch of the
interior has been pared back to save 90
kilos in weight all of which makes the
pista about nine tenths of a racing car
for the road
which comes with its downsides but if
you're gonna go pared back and minimal
at least make sure it's Pleasant I'm in
this seat here it's as Boney's an old
bunkie
and what's less of the - well it's ten
years old it's from a Ferrari four five
eight and then there's this thing down
here it's a carbon fiber sort of spur
with buttons on it it looks like a
medieval sex toy
beneath the threadbare surface however
looks a lot of very clever electronic
assistance but not the boring stuff that
boils to warn you that you're wandering
out of your motorway Lane or that
there's a scooter in your blind spot
come on oak the pistas computers
consider themselves as something far
more exciting drifts on demand
Ferrari calls it side slip angle control
six electronic differential to keep you
in line out of line is genius
riding at 700 power re shouldn't be this
easy there's no question that would the
pista Ferrari has done it again what
you're looking at is the new benchmark
for the track focus supercar
800,000 pounds 900 horsepower and quick
around this track from the laferrari and
the 918 spyder
so the question is just how close can
the 720s get to its big brother
the reigning champion well to find out
obviously I need to laugh the p1 again
I'm selfless like that
safe conditions for both cars one flying
lamp we go
that's all the breaking up god I get it
through
laughter and stiffer
hopefully somebody code you getting
ready to it
I'm over 720 assets got everything
just don't spoil it
[Music]
oh yeah doesn't get much better than
that for me I get it time for the p1
[Music]
okay so I think that is a good time and
I struggled to see how the 720 can get
anywhere near it
so one 54.7 I mean that's mighty fast
around here
make no mistake to even get within sight
of the p1 the 720s has its work cut out
and it does feel faintly ridiculous to
even think to this relatively normal
series production car and get anywhere
near it
push
[Music]
don't overcook it
oh my god
b1 legends it down the straight
Mountain
there we go right let's have a look
what's done so p1 did one 54.7 I know it
monster this in a straight line but it
was so good
so gonna have the lap time please 155
point two so half a second off so it was
half a second slower that's remarkable
combine that v6 and those electric
motors provide 573 horsepower that's not
sports car power
[Music]
because being as well Wow
hater technology may be complicated but
the effect is brutally simple as fast
read first but the best part of this
hybrid setup
it doesn't feel disjointed and digital
the brakes may be he brakes and the
steering maybe he's steering it gives
you a real sense of what's going on
obviously you can't skid is about like a
Ferrari for a take because those
electric motors are always trying to
drag it straight you can skid ease about
yes you can
[Music]
more than I thought possible for
something that was so complicated
[Music]
so Honda's new NSX really does have
genuine supercar credentials but before
you go and trade in the Lambo there are
one or two things to pull it out like
the interior okay they've made a great
effort but it's still recognizably Honda
if I'm big a real nitpicker I don't like
the way these paddles move they feel a
bit cheap it should feel like turning
the bezel on an expensive watch and it
doesn't it just feels like you're
pulling a plastic paddle on a 40 quid
gaming steering wheel and as for the
styling well it does look a bit like an
r8 and a McLaren have face swapped but I
think it's stunning
[Music]
the Porsche 911 gt2 RS a two hundred and
thirty thousand pound riot of wings
vents holes and stripes but before you
dismiss it is just a 911 that's been
driven through Halfords with a magnet
strapped to it
trust me this is one of the most
exciting cars of the decade
[Music]
seven seconds
160-170
ah saying
sucks up the world and punches you have
another fight looks like a 911 goes like
a hypercar
[Music]
but you know the really crazy thing
about this car is limited to 11 but if
it was left unlimited it would do 223
miles an hour and the only reason it
doesn't is the Porsche love had to
develop an entirely new tire to handle
speed even as it is though don't worry
the gt2 RS still gives its tires plenty
to think about
[Music]
little mini calculators watch this into
hammerhead we have a tweet one way but a
between the other get it going in second
crap
haha
[Music]
I live in a car that can do that before
this is a Merrill deranged punch avatar
new level of hooligan ring
[Music]
