@romromram No, this particular SLR (722 edition) has about 640hp I think. What Hammond said in this vid is that the SLR costs a £100,000 more (in the UK) than the Lambo SV.
And in spite of the outcome of this race, on paper, the SV is faster than the SLR.
@ek583 ok ok thx. So, in this vid, the slr is faster than the lp (but u say that's not on paper) the supercharge on the slr give more torque than the lp, that why iin win. The weight are nearly similary, right?
@romromram No, the SLR weighs almost 2 tons, whereas the SV is about half a ton lighter, I think. But in this race, the SLR got a better launch off the line due to its RWD system, as opposed to the SV's FWD. Plus, Hammond is not the greatest driver in the world, and we don't know who was driving the SLR (could have been a professional). I reckon, with 2 drivers of equal caliber, the SLR would be faster off the line, but the SV would eventually win due to it having more power and less weight.
lol I don't think that the lp is very hard to drive in straightline (with E-GEAR ) and Hammond isn't very novice. The weather condition and the road is a factor too
@TheJoker33julio Are you serious?! The Reventon is just a special edition Murcielago, this SV model came out after the Reventon, and is more powerful and faster than the Reventon for a quarter of the price. So there's nothing at all new about the Reventon other than its looks.
yeah the spoiler is generating massive amounts of downforce which is great for cornering. for straight line speed though it is just creating drag. fucking retard!
It might be dramatic but it certainly sound as good as a Zonda F
