.. is equipped with Japanese turbo's (IHI). This is a high revving turbo engine and with a nice exhaust they can scream as well. Not the high pitch as a .. let's say 9000 or 9500 rpm GT3 or F12.
I remember how special was to use the word "biturbo" everytime you wanted to emphasize how fast was a vehicle. You know that there was even a Maserati model with that name! I also perfectly remember one day driving my blue Piaggio Sì just behind an F40 in...
They are completely different means of transportation. And not so sure a Model 3 (Performance) will be faster, I only had 3 'races' against a Model 3 (alway standard models I presume). One with the 280 hp Megane at a red light and he couldn't keep up, twi...
According to Google: F40: 0β60 mph: 4.1 seconds Model 3: 0β60 mph: 4.0 seconds The "Performance" Model 3 is 0β60 mph is 2.8 seconds. My point is the f40 was a SUPER expensive car (still is). A Model 3 is a very affordable car and it specs as well or bette...
But do you think this is the point? These old cars are like the difference between Guy Savoye and Mac Donald. They delight you, while the EV just transport you...
What I mean to say that, for example, the interior of an F40 isn't really nice. The ride is hard and loud. When it came out the big "wow" was speed and certainly looks. Speed is no longer impressive so we are left with looks. I guess, for me, the differen...
.... you try an f40 ;-) ... and then you will say it might not have any comfort compared to the Tesla but at 50 mph it feels ten times faster than the Tesla at top speed. And we're not even talking about the sound, vibrations etc.
I've never been in an F40 but I have driven an Aventador and, thought it was much cooler looking and certainly more of a head turner, it felt sluggish and heavy after driving an EV. ICE is just old tech now - Like a prop plane vs jet.
Itβs hopping like a go kart, as if the wheels were bolted to the car as opposed to suspended? Have seen quite some supercars driven also on bumpy roads but never jumping up and down like that π€·π»ββοΈ
