Ever wondered how the 670 PS Ferrari 599 GTO and the 700 PS Lamborghini Aventador match up in a straight line drag race? Here’s your answer!
Before we talk numbers, let’s go back a couple of months to when we saw a 599 GTO race another 700+ HP car, except that time it was another Ferrari – the 740 PS F12 Berlinetta. Everything was stock both ways and the newer car won pretty convincingly, which was to be expected.
This time however the 700 PS Aventador is the 599 GTO’s target and despite the power difference between the two, it’s a much more accessible race.
See, when facing off against a Lamborghini, you really should try to avoid doing standing starts, unless you’ve also got an equally powerful car with all-wheel drive. The GTO lacks the latter, so it’s got better chances now that they’re doing a rolling start.
Lose by an inch or lose by a mile; it doesn’t matter. The question is, which of the two naturally aspirated V12 Italians comes out trumps?
