Factory lap time brother. You can't compare it to others, also there's quite a handful of cars that haven't been tested which could beat this : GT2 RS MR, GT Black Series, 488 Pista, 765LT, 720S on Trofeo R, 750S, Senna, 296 GTB, SF90XX and arguably the base SF90 too. But yes back in 2015 this was insane lol

idk what the difference is between a manufacture lap and a magazine lap, but some cars do extremely well and some do extremely badly on this track, like the aventador svj we expected to be really fast, but it only did a 1:24.92 so its not got the most serious list of lap times
McLarenFanboy 2y ago @jeremyclarkson1
Yeah the SVJ should have set a speed demon time, at least as good as the Perf. And it's not really that much used anymore for laps by Motortrend unfortunately

Randy Pobst left MotorTrend and joined Hagerty which I suspect is the main reason they stopped these hot laps

a manufacture lap will get the best driver, minimum fuel, maximum runs on fresh tires, adjusted tire pressures, adjusted suspension settings for specific track.
magazine lap, is you do the best lap you can with whatever driver you got, with the base settings the car has. Motortrend said they had cars have 1/2 a tank of fuel as the general for consistency.

i wonder what randy pobst would get out of this car then. 1:22.7?

Randy is very quick with only a few laps being an ex-autocross competitor. I think he would do at least that well and might even get a 1:21.9 or thereabouts.
