More data from Sport Auto :

- Weight with full tank of fuel: 1451 kg

- Acceleration ("by optimal conditions"), full tank of fuel, 2 persons on board, on Corsa tyres: 0-100 km/h in 3,4 s, 0-200 km/h: 9,8 s.

- Acceleration ("by optimal conditions"), 1/3 tank of fuel, 1 person on board, on Corsa tyres: 0-100 km/h in 3,2 s, 0-200 km/h: 9,2 s.

- Braking: the ABS-setup is no perfect, the 100-0 km/h distances are not sensational: 36,7 m (cold) and 35,3 m (warm).


Braking results in german Autozeitung were similar (way from current supercar standards).

achtung!

Sportauto, and Horst Von saurma are very good for the tests of Porsche.

I'm not shocking the gt2 rs is at a better place

they set 7.38 with the 458 and 7.36 with the gtr (not what i call absolute time)

I have got the same feeling. Great results with Porsche cars, not so great with others. 7:38 is pretty slow for a 458 on Sport Auto configuration.

Autobild Sportscars tested the very same car and did 7:32 on full lap with a passenger. Which means under 7:25 on shorter Sport auto layout and with driver only (as tested by Sport Auto). With Super Sport or Corsa tires the 458 could do under 7:20 based on Autobild results.

Looking forward to MP4-12C Supertest.
