@clements3715 They do. But this is THE V6 that won Le mans, not just A V6 made by the same company

@brunocavatidesouza8045 Still based on a 2009 car.

@timscherfner849 Its real life, not Forza. Gearboxes have evolved massively, cars have wider power bands etc etc. A Diablo has more power than both these cars but would be smoked.

@rudymcrudy964 The C8 is also over 10 years younger. Not really boastworthy, is it, your brand new car being almost as good as a 10 year old (based on a 15 year old) Ferrari, 2 generations behind, in the only sort of race the vette would be competitive in

BMWs, especially this current generation and especially the M5, are fat, and are getting bullied for it. This M2 is 160KG more than the old one. The G90 M5 (2024) is 400KG heavier than the F90 one, and thats mostly from the hybrid battery, and doesnt add much power. German cars in general are getting fat. The M5, the new AMG GT (a four door saloon and two door sports car) are both heavier than a Purosangue, a SUV with a 6.5L V12.

@WindyCity1992 Gearboxes, drivelines,ICE, Tyres, Suspension all do tho
10
Because the V6 has won Le mans twice, and can produce the same power with much smaller weight and footprint.

@lunaticfringe896 The 296 can keep up with a revulto tho, which is a 911 Turbo equivalent/competitor going against the SF90s direct competitor. The 296 and SF90 are insane, they punch well above there weight (TBH, so does the 911 turbo).

@heinzkot360 They didnt. There was a massive corprate in fighting at BMW. One side wanted to chase EVs and one didnt. The EV side won, and the result was the I3 and the I8, with the plan going forwards to incorporate all the I3 technology to everything. But the i3 was shit, so they got left in nop mans land

@lunaticfringe896 Got nothing against the porsche. Its just both cars perform much better than their direct rivals, and that the sf90 and the 911 are not.They are both faster than they "should be" so the result looks like a normal drag race. And the Porshce is always going to be cheaper, because the Ferrari is all handmade, hasnt got 20 carerras carrera s carerra gts etc etc to drive down the price, and the ferrari badge tax. This Turbo s 911 was first launched in 2022, with the generation its from being from 2018 the sf90 is from 2019. The "missing link" 992.2 has just been launched as a carrera and gts trim, with the gts being hybrid and having 60 more horsepower. if the turbo s gains the same amount of power with that treatment (33%) itll have 819 hp. Ferrari have a Laferrari replacement in the works, with probabaly the same v6 from the 296 (the same engine thats actually won le mans, Nurburgring and daytona 24 hours). Hope porsche do something like the 918 again as well

@lunaticfringe896 The point is to show the difference between a insane super car and a insane hyper car. We all knew who was going to win, and that it wasnt going to be close. Its the same reason early MMA had 600lbs guys going up against 140lbs guys. Because why the hell not? Theres a drag race between the Cadillac Vseries r (their Le mans hypercar),a 296, a 911 turbo s and something else (a 720/50 if im remembering correctly) Regarding the price, i wasnt clear, but i was talking about the 296 compared to the turbo s, not the SF90. The price differnce beterrn the 296 and the 911 is "only" 60k, which given the reasons i listed for the price differnce, which makes them direct competitions. Nobodys choosing between a SF90 and a 911 if they can afford the sf90, but they would factor in the 296. And the rimac is a bit of a one trick pony. Its a whale. Its slower round the Nurburgring than the 296, the 488 pista, the GT2 rs.

@chrishuber8930 R33 400r
2
@Astke It isnt.
2
@下田洋介-w4z It sounds like a small v12. especially with a novatech
2
The R33 is 40KG lighter despite being wider and longer for a more stable platform

@ralphdb8687 The hybrid is differnet, but the ICE is by and large tha same in the 499p. The biggest mod was to make it fully stressed

@getdealtwithquick And 15 years younger

@karolmaciejewski340 The M2 is (mostly) unscathed by the german car industry bloat, thankfully. But im genuinely stumped as to where BMW, Merc are finding all the wieght. Its ridiculous. How the hell did they make the AMG GT over 2 tonnes, at least the UK specs. They added a couple of seats (IDK why, isnt that what the SL is for)

@SealofPerfection It costs twice as much because its a handbuilt car. The engine doesnt even see a machine. The Vette is a parts bin car
1
@SealofPerfection Having a plate screwed on at the very end that says "Bult by bud and bob" is not handmade. Its just a mass produced jigsaw that someone puts together. Ferrari hand forge every single component. The only machine that the engine sees is the forklift that moves the VAT of molten metal from the forge to a cast. Almost everything on the Ferrari is handmade. The vette is so cheap because at the end of the day its a mass produced car, and the Ferrari is a hand-built luxury item. The vette is a nice mass production item but it still is. Sure, the Ferrari gets some brand tax, but name me an industry that doesn't have that. The 296 makes 100 more Hp from 2 less cylinders and , everything is hand built. And it manages to make a hybris supercar feel light and agile. Its more expensive because its twice as complex, and takes twice as long to build, and the interior is also made with higher quality materials. it also looks more than twice as good as the c8 vette. The c8 looks cheap. The c8 vette in any form had to use a 2 generation old Ferrari for the benchmark, and even then its embarrassed in the one race it could compete with said 2 generation old Ferrari. Ferrari and Corvette are not comparable. Well they are, after 15 years and 2 Ferrari generations.
1
@SealofPerfection You need to do your research "buddy". All the metal components are all poured into sand casts, and then said components are put together by hand. The only thing computerised is a robot that puts the lubricant in the cylinder, and a final test done by a robot (after its been checked by a human) Everything else is done with nothing more than a drill and a couple of spanners They are the only car manufacturer that still has a forge. The Ferrari engine is truly hand made, not just a big lego set where other than screwing it together all the work was done by a machine. Short of shooting the cow for leather and digging ore out of the ground, everything is done by Ferrari, and most of that is done by hand. The engines at Ferrari are another level of Handmade, which everywhere but Ferrari is now extinct, and the car as a whole is much more handmade than any vette. And in terms of Nat asp v8s, Chevy has only just started putting out Ferrari numbers from 15-20 years ago, and with an extra 1-2 litres of displacement. The Zo6, even with an extra %60 more displacement and two more cylinders is still less power than the 296s v6 by itself, disregarding the hybrid. Corvette have moved away from a indirect competition with the mid- rear engine spors/ super car market into direct competition, and almost every company makes a car as good if not better than the c8, that are in direct competition. Every single Ferrari is closer to the rivals next step up car in their range (eg 296 is much closer in terms of speed and handling to a 675Lt ) The 296 is offering figures (and the technology) of the hybrid hyper car trilogy for a quarter of the price. The c8 offers absolutely nothing. It offers less than the c7, which was unique, looked better. Now, Corvette just make a cheap looking car with the performance of a 2 generation old Ferrari
1
@SealofPerfection Also, on a unrelated note, the 296 Gt3 just became the first non German manufacturer to win the Nürburgring 24hrs (the most challenging race for any Gt3 car)in over 20 years, and broke the record their as well.

@SealofPerfection What dont you get about the fact that Ferrari is the only one with a foundry in house? Everyone else outsources it to one or more factories. Ferrari do it all in house, from building the mold to hand pouring the metal. The 296 (or any Ferrari) should be alot more expensive. First, you have the 40-50% "its got a horse on it" tax. Then you get to the car itself. The 296 has all but eliminated the gap between supercar and hypercar. Its nearly offering what the holy hyper car trinity, - 100 hp was offering using the same tech for a quater of the price. The Ferrari 296 GTS (the convertible) is lighter than the c8 zo6 coupe, despite the motorised roof + the hybrid. It is insanley more complex than the c8 zo6, it has active aero. They are not even comparable. Ferrari is just on another level performance wise, especially compared to the vette which is why you have to see comparisons between a 15 year old Ferrari. Come back when corvete make a car that is competitive with a car made the right side of 2015
1
@SealofPerfection Oh, the corvette is reliable is it? then why in consumer reports is it in the top 10 least reliable cars. And i mentioned that GM founded the foundry (at least in the comment i was writing before i clicked off). Its still outscoursing to a different factory, its still more automated than the Ferrari system. Who gives a shit if its American made? American cars are shite, its why you dont see a singe one outside of america in any category of car, other than a couple of mustangs, the odd vete, and some inbred halfwit with a massive F150. 99% of the performance? its a good 25% down on power and at least one girthy gentleman heavier. Upgrade it? Why would i need (or want) to upgrade a 100k + sports car? They are not 2 different markets. Not for the ZO6. They are both in the same class of car, and they know they will be competing for sales. The c7 corvette was never in the same market, but the c8 is, so they are being compared. Yes, a Ferrari should outrun a Vette. But your missing the point. The Ferrari it lost to is 10 years old, based on a 15 year old car, regardless of cost, especially when that car is not some hypercar, but the "baby" (admittedly speciale) Ferrari of the range. Corvette charge nearly the same as the European manufactures, besides Ferrari, for a car thats a good 10 years behind the times, and offers nothing unique for a global market. The C8 vette lost the individuality and put it in direct competition with Ferrari, Lambo and Porsche. I think the c8s alright. But the fact corvette is using a 15 year old Ferrari as its benchmark shows you just how far behind it really is. Id rather have - and could for the price- said 15 year old Ferrari 2nd hand than the vette. It looks better, sounds better, is iconic, it has a moustache. I just dont think a car being on par with a 15 year old car in the same class is impressive.

There are these things called corners

@rnosibZ57 Why would they do that? The revulto can barley beat a 296, which uses the same engine, but making only 800 hp. The revulto gets trounced by the sf90, a 5 year old car that the f80 is above in its place in the range. The 488 had no characteristic, cirtainly less than the 296 that replaced it, and nowhere near the performance. The reasons you dont like the v6 is because of the exhaust, not the engine itself. Also, your numberist. The flagship Ferrari has had a every engine under the sun, that reflected the companies motosport philosophy at the time. This v6 has won the big 3 endurance races (24 hours of le mans overall x2, 24 hour nurburgring overall, 24 hour daytona class win, and it would have won the 24 hours of spa if not for the pitlane exit being closed for its final pitstop) It sounds really good from the cockpit, even when stock because thats where most of the noise goes. It sounds really good full stop when the exaust is upgraded. Its more powerful, more efficient, lighter and smaller, and the only negative is that it doest have as many cylinders.
1
@gumpy4960 Your right. And the v6 sounds nearly as good with a decent exhaust, and trounces it in performance and packaging. As for drama, the v6 had plenty of that, with two of the most iconic wins at le mans (it almost didnt start after the final pitstop in 2023, and it sipped fuel like a mouse in 2024 to get home after a unscheduled pitstop to close a door in 2024 left Ferrari out of synch just before the end)
1
@gumpy4960 Yes, it does. Its just that Ferrari have to put super quiet exauhst on now. Just listen to a 296 with a novitech. Better fuel consumption means more faster for more longer
1
@gumpy4960 It won Le Mans twice, the 2nd time its ability to sip fuel whilst having half decent pace got it the win. A slightly better sound is not worth the less power, more weight, and much larger size, meaning the aero wouldnt be as good.

@twanvorstenbosch Jaguar xj220. AMG/1 The 2nd gen ford GT. The dino. Every single nice 911. The 959. Most pre 70s jags. Most pre 90s aston martins. The GTR. The stratos. the Hybrid systems,(well, except lamborghinis, because its about 3 tonnes all by itself) in supercars dont really ever take away from the experience. And hypercars have always been about figures. If supercars never evolved, theyd be slower than todays fake M BMWs. People like you are just racist with numbers. You talk about emotion, but you ignore the fact that one of the most emotional engines ever is a v6, that being the alfa GTV6.

@ I dont mean platform like that,poor wording on my part. ho it is true that the R32/33/34 all share a platform, tho heavily modified for each.
1
@ Yes, it does. Thats why they all have the BNR code . The R33 is called BCNR33, thats because when it was produced, not all Attesa 4wd had HICAS, and the C was to differentiate that it did, which was not necessary with the 32 and the 34, as all Attesa cars had HICAS when they were in production. So, as all GTR R33s had HICAS, their chassis code was BCNR33, but its still a BNR. The reason the R33 GTR is longer and wider is becasue unlike the other 2, the coupe also used the Sedan chassis (wears the R32 and R34 had shortened ones for the Coupe) All a platform is is the very, very basic underpinnings,like the floor, engine compartment and underbody reinforcement. It is a very, very, very loose term, unlike Chassis. Most platforms usually have fixed variables, and some unfixed ones. Depending on what is and isnt a fixed variable, 2 cars could be massively different and still share a platform. A car could only share a engine compartment and wheel centre line, and still be considered the same platform.
