This surprises you? 991 TT-S is a fcuking beast, and 0-100 is its ideal race.

 

True. I just wasn't expecting that. He stole the Aventador's lunch money! I know eventually the Aventador would start passing, but still.

Shorter wheelbase (for quicker weight transfer) and lighter weight probably make up the difference along with potential advantages with the torque curve of the turbocharged engine for this application. There's also some partial advantage with the PDK vs. single clutch transmission as well.

 

Now on a roll on race at highway speeds I would expect the Aventador to be faster, even a Huracan probably.

 

BTW, while I know people like 0-60, awd and launch control, I think 5-60 is metric worth considering to balance out the advantages some cars have with AWD, launch control, etc.

I easily walked a turbo S on the highway in the Huracan....

 

The Huracan is the performance car the Aventador is the looker, having said that there is something magical about the V12 beast :icon_thumleft:

My aventador sv and huracan are dead even, tried it again with a different friend recently , (did the same on lambo tour a year ago, same result) anyway repeated like 15-20 times, nothing in it from 50+ roll

 

Bit disappointing really, but he's happy about it, amazing how close they are, sport mode you get destroyed on gear changes, corsa is fine and marginal but in gear acceleration is almost identical, huracan must put down the power more efficiently.

 

Agree with fortis, v12 is special and the show car, huracan just does the business.

Pretty sure the LP700 will start to reel it at high end

 

Definitely. Crazy though to see that little convertible take off faster, IMO. I know all of the technical specs and why the Porsche is faster, but it's still astonishing to see the end result!

Turbo S is very quick but Aventador will be faster at 120+

 

Agreed with its longer gearing and huge engine we can go Swimming in

I agree. Hence everyone's fascination with it, including me.
