Lamborghini Aventador vs twin-turbocharged Ferrari 458

[Subwoofers]

lol wow

[MikkiJayne]

Thats one quick Fezza! I percieve it to be a lot lighter than the Lambo, although whether that is true or not I don't know...

[venom600]

Anyone else remember back when getting that kind of power out of anything was a real feat of tuning skill?

[1 can 'rado]

The sound of the turbo spool up in the Ferarri sounded siiiiiiiick. LOL.

[Der Roboter]

And can we try that again from a dig? Bet the race looks a lot less spectacular when the lambo pulls out and then has to be run down.

so private.

yeah it says private for me too

Logic dictates that the 458 would win solely for the fact that AWD weighs a car down at higher speeds.

What? No, the Ferrari wins because it has two turbos bolted on to it. Stock versus stock the Lambo would crush it, AWD or not.

[C4 A6]

458 1/4: 10.8sec w/ 134mph trap

Aventador 1/4: 10.5sec (could not find trap speed times, but I'd imagine that it's not much different from the 458.)

I don't think a stock 458 is that quick...

Thanks for replacing the video Killathrilla. Can't imagine how fast the bi-turbo Aventador will be.

[LindsayLowhan]

In for bi-turbo Aventador. Oooooh my.

Fair enough, 11.0 @ 131.

But what I'm getting at here is the trap speed. I doubt the Aventador will trap higher than ~134.

What? 700hp turbo = 700hp NA. Assuming the 458 is really only 700hp.

At that speed, where that power is spread out makes a bigger difference. 700hp on two wheels pushing is faster than 700hp spread out in all 4 wheels. There's also gearing to consider...

[Preppy]

What's the power:weight for both of these?

I assume that the 458 has much advantage.

But 700whp does not equal 700bhp.

what you are forgetting is WHP vs CHP.

the ferrari is making 700 whp. the lambo is making about 560 AWHP. thats a huge difference at roll on speeds. when you consider that the ferrari also got a boost in torque with its new power and should be significantly lighter then you should easily deduce the outcome ferrari > lambo.

id like to see this redone when the aventador gets its kit installed. im thinking the outcome would be much different.

The cars have different horsepower, different torque, different weight, different aero, and different gearing.

Claiming the main difference in performance is AWD is just plain ridiculous.

[bwell01]

and also after relooking at the video it seems the ferrari driver was a little better. either the na car wasnt in its power band (being na it shouldnt really matter but we all know supercars have crap for torque stock) when they launched or all that displacement spools the hell outta the turbos in that ferrari. either way, two awesome cars.

listen to the revs the ferrari has during the first run. hes up there in the rpm band to keep those snails spooled. as soon as he hits it hes making big boost.

I did not know this. Please tell me more.

[bryangb]

In the for the Aventador twin turbo systems.

[deucestudios]

Awesome!

And yet, this thread will be nothing but bickering...

[bwell01]

I did not know this. Please tell me more.

well maybe my opinion has been skewed by my own modded car but yah, these numbers arent all that to me...

now granted, there are several exceptions but here are some examples...

M3 400+hp/295 its not really a supercar buuuuuut
458 Italia 562/ 398
gallardo 510/ 398
997 GT3 RS 4.0 500/339
R8 V8 414/317
R8 V10 518/391

its just that in my mind these numbers dont equate to much when im making the same torque (328 wheel on an old dyno before a much bigger turbo and proper software)

Those are all N/A cars. Torque output on N/A cars is directly proportional to displacement.

Small engine = small torque. You'll find they all produce approximately the same peak torque per liter (with the 458 being an exception).

oh im not doubting the reasons why, im just giving my opinion on the matter.

I'm aware of the difference between wheel vs crank hp as well as drive train losses between the two drive trains. Maybe I just missed that in the video and unfortunately the video has been removed. I was under the impression that both cars were estimated 700hp hence why I said (assuming the 458 really does have 700hp). Given that, then yes there would be an obvious disadvantage and posting wheel horsepower and crank horsepower on a video to begin with is misleading and inconsistent.

[muffintop]

Looks to me like they are racing above ground.

[C4 A6]

I'm sure if you TT'd the Aventador for 700awhp to give it the same power number as the 458, the 458 would still win (assuming the 458 has 700rwhp). Yes, you cited aero and gearing and weight and such.

- Apparently the two have the same drag coefficients: .33
- (no idea on what the gear ratios of the Aventador are)
- The Aventador actually weighs LESS than the 458
- Different torque, yes. No dyno sheets available for either one, but you'd expect the Aventador to have a linear delivery and the 458 to peak once max boost kicks in, and then slowly drop (unless they're using big turbos, in which case peak boost will come in later in the powerband and torque will stay relatively flat from then on)

I wouldn't trust Ferrari's claims on weight especially when they say "With lighter wheels and racing seats (and probably gutted other stuff that they're not telling you about.)

But I am still wrong by ~200lbs, so you got me there. But for some reason when I searched that info, it returned the Aventador's weight as ~3300 and the Ferrari's as ~3400.
