    Dear Richard,
    SV stands for "Super Veloce" -> Super Fast
    LP stands for "Longitudinale Posteriore", which means the engine is mounted longitudinally behind the cockpit.
    Thanks.

      @ICHDERTWEETY 11 років тому +9

      LamboFreakLP670 yeah I mean ofc I wouldn't decline an aventador either but I have to say I was a bit disappointed after its presentation. Its predecessors were very raw but without having unnecassary touches in design. The aventador isn't really "clean" anymore, but I guess that's lambos new design language which they started with the reventon, then the aventador and now the huracan :/ . I personally preferred Murcie and Gallardo. Still would happily take any of the named :D
      But you're right, I also have grown up with the Murcie, 10 years ago my parents bought me a book about sportscars and as soon as I saw it, I fell in love with it. So it might just be a thing of our generation ;D

    • @revolver265
      @revolver265 Місяць тому +1

      @@doggSMK Regardless of 0-60 figures, the math isn't on the Lambo's side. 640HP/605 lb-ft from the SLR 722 compared to 661HP/487 lb-ft. The e-gear Lambo looks like it was manual shifted (see earlier clips) which implies a transmission whose gear ratios need to make sense to a manual driver. The automatic SLR can shift all on its own and as it needs.
      The torque difference is insane though. You can't beat 200lb-ft extra even if you're spinning all four wheels. The speeds called out by Hammond also suggest it's a near top-speed run, where the AWD system would become increasingly a detriment.
      Edit: also noticed the weight between the Murci SV and the SLR 722 are near identical, around 3800lbs. Horsepower is sort of "how fast you can move it". Torque is more "how fast you can get it _moving"._ Outside of that math though, 100% prefer the Lambo. It aged better too.

    It's 2019 -. still in love with this car. By now, they are like remnants of an era gone by - this, the Enzo and the Carrera GT are the last of the true driver's cars, before the advent of all encompassing electronics and assists. They were the apex predators, direct, aggressive, loud, spinetingling and beautiful.
    Sorry for the drama, but I really miss that!

      @@italianautomotiveenthusias931 If you wanna be as true as can be, it would even be the F40! But I didn't mean "no assists at all". I was talking about the turning point where systems became such a major part of the experience that it turned synthetic.

    I think this might be my most favorite Top Gear episode ever. It has a review of the Murciélago SV which still remains my favorite car to this day, it has a drag race between the McLaren F1 and Bugatti Veyron, and the teenage car challenge which is one of the funniest things I ever seen especially when James lost the 3am challenge when his music went blasting 😂

    And exactly how did the lambo lose against the 722?
    The 722 makes 641 bhp, the Murcielago makes 661.
    The 722 weighs 3850lb, the Murcielago weighs 3800lb
    The 722 does 0-62 in 3.5 sec, the Murcielago does it in 3.0 sec (or 3.2 according to Hammond).
    That dragrace seems staged.

    • @JoshFollmann
      @JoshFollmann 10 років тому +86

      When you get up to those sort of speeds, aerodynamics matter. The SV generates a lot of downforce - despite a pretty high top speed, that car is more about cornering. I doubt the 722 is as aggressive with its downforce.
      And anyway, the point of that comparison wasn't which one finished a few feet ahead, it's that they were close at all, which is impressive considering A) the price difference and B) the fact that, as I mentioned, the SV isn't primarily designed as a straight-line car.

    • @bucketslash11
      @bucketslash11 10 років тому +6

      Josh Follmann according to fastestlaps the SV is faster to 200kph than the 722 and only 0,1 second slower to 300kph (fastestlaps uses verified numbers from magazine tests)
      so it was staged (you can see hammond slightly lift his foot of the pedal during the race)

    • @BiffBallbag
      @BiffBallbag 10 років тому +50

      You're a fool. The numbers can't be perfectly replicated each time. Change in ambient air temp or even elevation, tire pressure, and a whole other assortment of things can make a difference.

    • @souljaboy1293

      You have to take into account how fast each car can change gears, how much wheelspin there is before it gets going, how well the driver can get it off the starting line, and plenty more factors listed by others above.
