Here are some of the results.Autocar have very good road test figures that seem realistic to me (not like car and drivers..an Sl600 doing 0-60 in 3.6 get real),they test with two adults and a full tank of petrol.

We had the R turbo on fumes to try and get as good a time as poss with Phil Bennet doing his best, but it was not performing on the day, and third gear broke

guess where it was within 48hrs?

The CTR did very well though,

all the best

Interesting just how well the GT3 did vs even the Lambo's..

alsahher · 27th April 2004, 21:34

Nice am impressed with th csl numbers .. thanks for sharing

I like how the Gallardo is supposed to be the "baby" Lambo, but it's right up on the Murc; and in the over-all 0-100-0, it's faster. So much for not clipping on big brother...

i just got the magazine this afternoon, i get the feeling from the pictures autocar did their favourite trick of pretending that they had all the cars there on the day when they didnt? The page with the Enzo, SLR, CGT and Zonda looks very photoshopped to me?

Congrats Adam.
Your CTR beats the Carrera GT.

Be interesting to see how the upcoming BMW V-10 fairs in that crowd

The outstanding performer to me was the GT3 which seemed to have performed well above expectation. Should also mention your CTR Adam which put up an amazing performance and just goes to show how keeping the weight down can be a huge advantage.

markf · 28th April 2004, 12:47

Adam ...just to confirm..that was your car they tested ?
WOw amazing performance,I knew it was fast ,but not that fast.

Adam · 28th April 2004, 12:57

Ya that was our CTR, made the R turbo look like a slug on a big piece of lettuce!

Not pleased with the R turbo...

all the best
