The Porsche 911 GT3 has won almost all comparison tests we’ve seen it in, but if there’s one car that can beat it the Ferrari 458 Speciale is the one.
With 469 hp (475PS) from a 3.8-liter naturaly-aspirated flat-six engine, the Porsche 911 GT3 sprints from 0 to 100 km/h (62 mph) in just 3.5 seconds and reaches a top speed of 315 km/h (195 mph). Probably more impressive than that is its 0-200 km/h (0-125 mph) sprint which takes less than 12 seconds.
The Ferrari 458 Speciale is significantly more powerful, boasting 597hp (605PS) from a 4.5-liter V8 engine. It only needs 3 seconds to reach 100 km/h from a standing start, and has a top speed of 325 km/h (202 mph). Its 0-200 km/h is even more impressive than the 911 GT3’s, with 9.1 seconds.
On paper, it looks like the Ferrari has the edge, but let’s not forget that it costs twice as much. Head down to find out which car won from CAR Magazine’s video.
