Ferrari 812 Superfast vs. Lamborghini Aventador S Drag Race Is a Bummer

Both Italian exotics step forward as mid-cycle revisions for the V12 incarnations of Maranello and Sant'Agata Bolognese beasts, even though the changes delivered by the Fezza are more important.

It was only a matter of time until the two engaged in a drag race and the moment to see them being thrown at each other in a straight line has now arrived.

The two met during an event that was held on an airfield in Sweden earlier this month and if the runway that hosted their fight seems familiar, it might be because this also allowed for the iconic Porsche 911 GT1 vs. Mercedes-Benz CLK GTR battle.

Returning to the Ferrari vs. Lamborgini brawl we have here, we have to explain that the two duked it out on more than just occasion, even though the piece of footage at the bottom of the page would lead you to a different conclusion.

Nevertheless, the description of the YouTube video comes to shed some light on the battle between the 800 hp Fezza and the 740 hp Raging Bull: "Despite its slower start, the 812 overtook the Aventador in almost every race,"

And, if we look at the specs of these land-land missiles, it all becomes clear.

We'll start with the power-to-weight ratio, an area where the Maranello machine easily dominates its rival, since we're looking at 2.1 kg/hp compared to 2.5 kg/hp.

The 812 also wins the torque battle, albeit by a tiny margin (think: 718 vs. 690 Nm).

Interestingly, despite the Aventador S packing all-wheel-drive, the rear-wheel-drive 812 Superfast ties the Lamborghini in terms of the 0 to 100 km/h (62 mph) sprint, with both requiring at least 2.9 seconds to complete the task.

As far as the aural part of the battle is concerned, we're asking you to decide which one is the winner.
