As I have stated on the M2 CS 'ring laptime page, Sport Auto isn't as good as Auto Bild or factory effort when it comes to laptimes. This car is 1+¼ times faster than the Huracan Performante and 600LT, and even slightly faster than the Aventador SVJ and 911 GT2 RS in most performance stats, so I am expecting 6:50 with factory effort (unfortunately, most production Ferraris never left the factory with a rear wing, except for the F40 supercars and F50 hypercars).

Impressive. Just wish the clock stopped 1 second earlier. 6:59 would look even better!

Not bad at all if we see that it was done by Sport Auto where Porsche mostly have an advantage. Think it is much quicker than Lambo Superleggera and at least slightly quicker than GT2 RS on the same tires. Not a different league as some say but a bit quicker for sure. As Speed King indicated high 6:40s should be possible. Personally I also think mid/low 40s are doable.

incredible laptime for magazine test. Pista is easily best mainstream track car. It doesn’t has giant wing, nor a slicks, not even marketing bs as ALA, yet destroying everything below Senna
