I figured it'd be a bit quicker. Although I see a trend of this car not quite going as fast as some expect.
It's a bit heavy, and I get the feeling is softer and more GT-oriented than stiff and sports-car-like.

You must compare this Sport Auto Supertest lap time to other Sport Auto lap times, then it is faster than 458 (7.38), SLS Black (7.35) and GT-R (7.36), 1 second behind the GT3 991 and 1 second ahead of the mighty 991 Turbo S. So very good I would say, but the Aventador is impressive.

I was also expecting a better time, especially on those tires!
Not an AMG fan but Merc really did a good job with the SLS Black.

pretty much consistent with the majority of the tests. It's very quick in a straight line, but slower around bends. Slower than the Aventador, 12c, 458, SLS black, 911 gt3, GTR, enzo.
And Ferrari will tell you the F12 is faster than every car they've ever made except the Laferrari. Right.
