Those times seem slow compared to other mag tests.

Hot summer

 

[Swissbob]

Hot summer

20°C or 68° Fahrenheit, in this case.

Hmmmm curious then

Next month: AudtoBild Sportscars' Supertest of the Revuelto. We will see some great numbers there!

Dede, do you have supertest for the Audi RS6 GT? Thanks.

First measured weight of Ferrari 12Cilindri with full tank. Vanquish's weight was basically the same as in all tests. Around 1950kg with full tank in all tests so far.

 

[Jo_Sta7]

What's Ferrari claim?

What's Ferrari claim?

It was a 1560 kg dry weight figure.

 

[Swissbob]

It was a 1560 kg dry weight figure.

I guess filled with helium this figure might be correct.

 

[Jo_Sta7]

It was a 1560 kg dry weight figure.

240 kg differential about spot on for Ferrari's these days. My 296 was ~225 KG more than claimed dry weight full tank.

 

[mihc]

I saw recently on Aston Martin official page they changed weight figures for their cars from dry weight to kerb weight.

Now it’s clear why the 0-100km/h time is so bad. The 2. should go up to 64mph instead of 61.

Yes plus traction issue. The predecessor DBS had even more traction issue's, but above 200km/h the car started to go really strong.

I think the combination of the traction issues and also the low gearing gives it a disadvantage for quick acceleration in the lower speed ranges up to about 100mph it is not that fast for 835PS. But after about 180km/h then it really starts picking up speed at a rapid pace. 13.6sec to 150mph is pretty good.

They could use the 4matic drivetrain instead.

 

[Rolf]

They could use the 4matic drivetrain instead.

That would be a good bet and really make a difference to the driving experience if they used the 4matic+ drivetrain straight from the previous E63 S/GT 63S 4-dr which allows some pretty amazing drift angles from the rear axle and glorious tail slides.

 

[Swissbob]

TBH the 8Speed ZF is a gorgeous Transmission, but the MCT has much more character.

9G-MCT with 4matic+ from the E63S/GT63S would be the perfect choice.

Mercedes Benz could on the other hand could use the AM V12.
