£81k for that KTM X-Bow?:lovl:

Holy shit, the GTR would have beat the LP560 were it not for the limiter in that run. In most cases the LP560 is faster though.

not sure..... the LP 560, put up insane numbers in R&T recently, numbers i do not think the GTR is capable of even without the speed limiter. the lambo has the GTR on weight, horsepower, and torque so WTF?????.

in this case, the difference is in the handling. a difference that might be annulled with the R8's magnetic suspension.

I said the LP560 is faster in most cases.;) There isn't that much between them though.

LP560 (GTR) [R8]

Bedford Autodrome - 1:22.5 (1:23.6) [1:26.5]
CAR Shootout - 1:00.5 (1:00.6) [1:01.0?]
Autocar Track Test - 1:08.4 (1:08.8) [1:09.0?]

? = Going from memory, could be wrong.

Interested to see what the V10 R8 can put up. I believe the GTR won here because it was a real road and not a billiard table race course. So maybe the magneto suspension will make up for that.
