Thanks for posting those. I love the last page:

12C / GT2 RS: 70 points
R8 GT: 69 points
Superleggera: 69 points
Nissan GT-R / Ferrari 458: 67 points
SLS AMG: 66 points

I only posted the links, not the scans.

It also says

"Fun to Drive" 10 points

"Daily Driver Score" 7 points

Those 2 are subjective scores and NOT included in the overall result.


By now I read the article and I must say I have some mixed feelings.

BTW "Daily Driver Score" is a lose translation. The German word "Fahrspaß" is more along the lines of "suitability for everyday use"

Haven't read the article yet....

p.s. a mid-engine layout doesn't mean SQUAT for performance. Nothing! Polar moment of inertia, yada yada yada. In the real world, Porsche has been kicking mid-engine ass for decades and Corvette just won LeMans (again) with a front-engine.

That shouldn't be the case at all. Try winning Le Mans (not just a lower class) or F1 with anything other than then a mid engined vehicle and you'll sound find out it is a non-starter.

On that note, I wonder if they will do additional PR to capitalize on the perfect 70/70 score. Are there many cars on the list that also scored 70?

As a long time SportAuto reader I can't remember any car ever scoring full points before. That said I don't read the magazines as they are published but get a pile of them once a year or so.

NOT the supertest but the article from last month:

Hi, back again:

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.

Was the 7.28 done with a defective sensor or after it was replaced?
