well the outright winner came as no surprise.

how close 2nd and 3rd was, did come as a surprise to me...

TopspeedPT

Yeah. 2nd and 3rd were closer than I expected.

Apolo1

Don't read to much into the Video, it was my 918 and I was the driver, the video you are seeing is one of 5 runs, on this one both the LAFA and P1 jumped the gun. But Vboxs don't lie.

Thanks for posting the Vbox info. It is very obvious that the LaFa and the P1 jumped the gun.

Apolo1

Yes, but what is not clear is that the 918 won 0-30, 0-60, 0-100, 0-125, etc and finished 1st on every run to the marker point. Whilst the P1 and the Lafa started to reel the 918 in from about 145mph, the 918 was to far in front to be passed.

<3mph

Thanks, that's interesting info. Was that vbox data the best time or representative of the average? And nice job driving!!

So from the video and the info Apolo1 provided, the 918 won 0-30, 0-60, 0-100, 0-125, 1/8 mile, 1/4 mile, 1/2 mile, to the marker (however long that was). The P1 only beat it on 0-150 & 0-186 and the LaFerrari only on 0-186. So the 918 won 8 of the ten things measured! Very impressive!

Apolo1

Yes they are the best times form the 5 Runs......

The New 911

What is that about a second and a half off the time listed Wiklesspedia? Where they put the the LaFa at the top of the hill... Of course.

Those times don't mean anything.

Whoopsy

If you are a firm believer of wikipedia, then I have a ocean beach resort in Dakota to sell you. Cheap too.

The New 911

Well as far as I know this is the only timed event with Vboxes and the numbers above don't lie. While the numbers on Wiki were taken from the Manufacturer. Ferrari still has a ways to go to hit their "Claimed" time.

And if someone was to post the above results at Wiki you would get some A$$hole with 15K edits slapping your hand telling you that you are wrong... Ferrari says their car goes this fast yada yada yada.

As far as anybody can be concerned this is the only Hard Evidence concerning the performance on all three cars at the same place, altitude, relative humidity, road conditions.

The above results "SHOULD" be the only thing that is quoted on Wiki's fastest production cars page.

EDIT

Just went by Wikipedia to look up the fastest production road cars. They list rules such as there must be a minimum of 25 cars built for Public Consumption. Seems like the Wiki nerds who make the content to the website have changed the webpage since the last time I was there a few months ago.

Wiki now list the 918 as the fastest 0 to 60 car at 2.2 seconds, even beating out the Veyron at 2.5 seconds and the LaFerrari at 2.4 seconds.

The Laferrari was listed as the fastest on the quarter mile with a 1.4% decline in elevation which could easily help with a tenth of a second. Both the 918 and the P1 hit the quarter at 9.8 according to Road & Track and Motortrend magazine's respectively. Also the Ferrari was tested by Motortrend and as always we can all be certain that Ferrari sent out their Squadra of Men to ensure the car was running at it's Maximum. Otherwise they would not have agreed to such a test.
