Choose your Own Supercar Test Adventure

20141121_083955

Anybody notice I've been gone for a while?

No?

Thought as much. Well, the truth is that I've been circling the world drain racetrack putting together a comparison test of late-model supercars for you, the discerning TTAC reader. As fate would have it, however, there were too many cars involved. So I need your help.

I'm going to list the following automobiles:

  • Ferrari 458 Italia
  • Ferrari 430 F1
  • Lamborghini Gallardo LP560-4 (2013 final model, AWD, e-Gear)
  • Lamborghini Gallardo LP500-2 Ad Personam (2013 final model, RWD, e-Gear)
  • McLaren MP4-12C hardtop
  • Mercedes-AMG SLS Roadster
  • Audi R8 4.2 R-Tronic
  • Nissan GT-R Premium

As part of a gig I took last week coaching for a supercar rental company (more about that later, I promise) I was able to take multiple laps around a road course in all of these cars, in both dry and wet-weather conditions, and I took pretty careful notes about the differences and similarities between them.

As a bonus feature, I'll discuss how three of the up-to-the-moment supercars I've driven lately — the Nissan GT-R NISMO, Ferrari 458 Speciale and the McLaren 650S — compare to the ones in our list.

So. Eight cars. Pick four, give your reasons if you like. At the end of tomorrow I'll read all the comments and the comparison test will run starting Monday. Over to you, B&B!
