compared the video with the MP4-12C Spider Video from Sport Auto http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dg8Vn3Yso-U the 991 Turbo S takes 31 sec. to 280 km/h and the MP4-12C 23 sec. so quite a difference.
The 991 Turbo S seems only be faster to 100 km/h and not to 160 km/h as stated here.
Guys, I already posted this video a few "pages back" and I explained that this was a test mule under very hot/humid climate (South Africa) conditions. The video has been shot for entertainment purposes only, it has no value of portraying the performance of the car. People who can read are in a clear advantage here...
Real life performance will be better than the factory claims (just wait and see...), the factory claims are 0-100 kph in 3.1 seconds and 0-200 kph in 10.3 seconds. 0-300 kph performance is "slightly under 30 seconds" according to a source, I suppose 29.something, which would be similar to the Lamborghini Murcielago.
In no review with certified equipment has the MP4-12C achieved 23 seconds from 0-300 kph. Also from 0-100 kph, the MP4-12C stands no chance against the 991 Turbo S. From 0-160 kph both cars are very close in real life testing, from 0-200 kph, the MP4-12C has a 0.5-0.7 seconds advantage according to our sources.
Just wait for the reviews sometimes this autumn, official press presentation is August.
