Nordschleife 7:28 (second-best time)

Points 70/70

70/70... impressive ! More details on the other statistics ? What about wet handling ?

 

[6th element]

Not bad for an independent test. what does the 70/70 mean?

cool image I found of previous Sport Auto tests:

 

[Laurent T]

There are 7 "tests" (2 lap times, slalom, escape manoeuvre, acceleration/braking, aerodynamic balance, skidpad if I have good memory), each with a mark from 1 to 10. 70/70 that it scored top on all 7.

Oh! thanks

Is this the correct list of previous times for this magazine?

There are 7 "tests" (2 lap times, slalom, escape manoeuvre, acceleration/braking, aerodynamic balance, skidpad if I have good memory), each with a mark from 1 to 10. 70/70 that it scored top on all 7.

Also, are these 7 scores all objective measurements? Or are some of them subjective opinion?

Thanks.

Thanks.

All are based on objective measurements. They also have two subjective ratings (usability and feel good factor or something like that).

Thanks. No doubt the McLaren bombed on the last one! Although, it's the Germans we are talking about now, not the Brits!

 

[HyperMac954]

You know what feels pretty good?

Being fastest.

The noise that comes out the back is seconday.

 

[emve]

Rumours vs reality :

NBR lap time

rumour - 7:00
reality (sport auto) - 7:28

0-300km/h

rumour - 24,5s
official - 27,5s
reality - 31,0s

Finally we have a 0-300km/h time. GT2 RS is significantly faster. Aventador is in another league (24,5s by german AMS).

 

[Heinrichhoernchen]

@ emve

the german test situation is:
- Acceleration, full tank of fuel, 2 persons on board !!

Other tests half full tank and only one person on board!!

 

[Heinrichhoernchen]

I was pretty sure that this car would be evaluated in the German press and among the German testers much better than in England!

Absolutely.

Would love to hear what they say, subjectively, about the car... do they think it is the cold, ruthless Darth Vader, like the Brits? Perhaps somebody that speaks German can read the article and summarize?

 

[Heinrichhoernchen]

I ran straight to the kiosk and have quickly taken the magazine
Here first results:
70 points from 70 points (more is not possible)
Nürburg:
GT2 RS 7,24
Mp4-12C 7,28
GT3 RS 4.0 7,30
R8 GT 7,34
Nis. GTR 7,36
458 7,38
LP 570 7,38

sensors are all okay, convinced the MP 4 with absolutely inspiring driveability. the grip that never seems to cut up and the high cornering speeds are hard to beat

Short Hockenheim
GT2 RS 1,08.4
Mp4-12C 1,08.7
LP 570 1,09.2
GT3 RS 4.0 1,09.5
R8 GT 1,09.6
ZR1 1,09.7
Nis. GTR 1,10.0

In terms of agility and steering response he makes what no one before

Maximum lateral acceleration

GT3 RS 4.0 1.5 g
MP4 + R8 GT + ZR1 1,4 g
458 + LP570 + SLS AMG 1,35 g

Wet handling with sport tyres!

LP570 1,38.0
Mp4-12 1,38.7
GT2 RS 1,38.7

a short final result:
The results are top (up on a wet handling) it is impossible to get more points. It is pure enthusiasm, which is established in view of this machine and not only spontaneously but also on duration.
But as evidenced by the impressive lap time, and satisfying ride comfort, the Mclaren has not promised too much

Thanks Andy,looks like they will sell more in Germany than Italy

Hi, back again:
Mainly, the test tells the story of the whole techniques of the mp4, and everyone had at first thought that Ron had taken his mouth too full. But the tester does anticipate that this is not true. fantastic double-clutch gearbox matching motor.
The sound out of the two open huge exhaust pipes is big and loud.
The re-entry McLarens into previously by Ferrari, Porsche and Lamborghini super sports cars dominated stock may actually be seen as successful.
The claim to want putting both, driving dynamics and driving comfort (good for the Champions Leage cars), may be regarded as truly fulfilled! how well he masters the critical moment, the transition from hard braking into the acceleration phase at the same time, deserves absolute respect!
only one point of improvement:
One sensor was defect:
A sensor of the hydraulic landing gear(?) (Fahrwerk) was broken, the super-fast lap times on NBR was not possible, first had to be replaced. A display in the cockpit would be better to show if all the sensors are still working. Without knowing of this failure, very very fast driving is not so well. (uneasy driving feeling)

A table !!!!!!!




THE benchmark, i am satisfied

every time i go in Germany i buy that magazine, pay attention that the driver is more capable with a porsche in his hand, it's not about german product preference, it's a fact

the result is very very good (vs for example, GTR011 or 458 for eg)
