  1. They measured 335,4 km/h in the LP560-4 (stock) That means, the LP can run 209mhp One of Germanys best known tuners shows on their website that their ecu tuning brings the LP560 to 588HP but without a topspeed gain.(factory says 202mph) Another German tuner claims that their LP560 reflash brings the car to 215mph...
  2. I've checked multiple cars at my local dealer. most of them have those scratches in all varieties and widths. by now i am completely sure that this is caused by stones, and all kind of things that fly around on the roads. we even found a bit of tar pressed into a rim at the end of a scratch, so this piece has been pushed into the rim by the caliper with ever spin until it became so flat that it didn't touch the caliper anymore.
  3. No - NOT the same engine! The LP560's engine has ben developed by Audi. (5.2L V10) The RS6 has a 5.0L V10. I already compared both cars. The RS6 has no chance. The MTM RS6R (730HP) should be faster. The RS6 is a perfect daily driver. But like in the 560, you don't feel the power at all driving the RS6. That's what I love about Ferraris. You get a kick in the back, every time you put down your foot.
  4. Sometimes I'm feeling like living in the USA with all these speed limts causes way more relaxed driving. I would never put wider wheels on the car because it dramaticly reduces the top speed and acceleration. Over here in Germany, most people only take these cars out of the garage for putting it to 200mp/h+ on the highways.
  5. Wider wheels for what? Making the car slower and destroying the diff? 295 is enough. you won't see the difference.
  6. did you calculate the rolling circumference for matching the value of the stock rims/tires? Otherwise you might get severe issues with the AWD system and your ESP.
  7. Different calculations on different systems I guess. Many people post whp numbers and then start calculation what the crank HP 'might' be. but they all seem to work different. People are talking about LP560s with 600 bhp - by now I have seen five different LP560s on the dyno and only one of them reached a total of 560 crank hp. Also the slip, friction, temperature vary so much that the whp on the dyno never matches the whp you get on the street. It is also the measuring method: on the first dyno, they made full throttle pulls. On the second, they moderately accelerated in different gears over a small width of the rev band. The two dynos I had the car on were a TÜV certified unit from a vehicle engineers office(high whp numbers) and the second was one of the technically most advanced systems in europe. I drove 600miles from home just for putting the car on this dyno. After asking about the low whp, they told me that the whp values should not be taken too serious, because the whp numbers on these runs just cannot show the car's real power potentioal you have on the street due to several factors. What I also don't understand: why measuring RWHP on a stock AWD car. This is a normal measuring method - yes - but: it doesn't technically match the power numbers your car puts to the ground on a regular street. There, a normal Lambo puts the power to all four wheels, so the drivetrain loss changes. Please correct me, if I went wrong on this one.
  8. It is alway a mater of what type of dyno has been used. I put the 560 on two different AW dynos within two weeks and had a whp difference of 85hp! (376 and 461 at the wheels - crank hp was 543 and 546) After resetting the throttle body positions and taking off the insulating material from the factory air filters, the car made 552 crank hp. BTW: If you are frequently driving long distances in very high speed ranges or if you are only driving around town, the ecu reduces the 100% opening position of the throttle bodies. It can be reseted by doing a high speed run over several miles and than stopping the car without turning the engine off. after some minutes, the rev number slightly changes up and the ecu resets the throttle body angle.
  9. They can be bought separately. They even fit in the LP560. Sadly, you are sitting a bit higher and as I know, there is only one size. Not like Ferrari, where you can get the racing seats in different sizes. But - they are way more comfortable than the standard seats. A race car needs racing seats;)
  10. just lease it. afterwards you can still decide weather to keep it or not. put down st like 20k and you'll get a nice rate.
  11. I have a litte question regarding the US Superleggeras. I am pretty sure that I've never seen an US SL that was equipped with Carbon Racing Seats. Over here in Germany, the car comes with these seats right from the factory. I don't think there is even an option for the normal Gallardo seats at all in the SL. This car is made for racing - but no racing seats on the US market?! Or have just missed the right cars:)
  12. Right. I was talking about the air pumps, which help the engine "breathe" when you are starting up the car. (first 30 seconds after engine start). They have nothing to do with the clutch itself. Only in this warm up sequence, the clutch seems to open and close several times. I was told not to move the car, until the air pumps stop pumping and the exhaust valves close. After this, you are good to go.
  13. I'm just back in from a little drive around town. One front wheel just scratched. The scratch is about 1cm width, almost all around the inner rim. I'm running calistos with the carbon break. The technician told me on the phone that they already know this problem. He said, last time, they pulled a stone out, which got stuck behind the calpiler. This makes sense to me, because I did no hard braking at all today nor is the scratch around the whole wheel. It looks like the scratch fades around the wheel.
  14. I don't think that anyone cares about things like that over there...sadly! Just the fact that they are doing this for fun should be punished! I don't know, how it is handled in other countries, but if you f.e. kill your neighbour's dog for fun here in germany, you just have to pay him the time value of the animal. Animals are legitimated as personal belongings, not as living creatures. The fact that they posted this video on the net changes the situation for the police. I hope he's getting locked up with some very bad guys....
  15. The 560 is factory equipped with the audi hill hold assist system, so there is no rolling back at "high hills". But the system doesn't work for let's say small parking garage ramps. So these can shorten the life of the clutch very hard. I have been told that when the car is performing the warm up sequence for the first 30 seconds after starting the engine (while the airpumps are blowing) the clutch is opening and closing all the time. It's not good to start driving at all while this is happening.
