Interesting video: Lexus LFA vs 458 Italia

Someone created this video of a side-by-side comparison of Lexus LFA and 458 Italia accelerating. Thought I should share it just for entertainment purposes.

- Lexus LFA uses launch control to start from 0 km/h

- 458 Italia starts at 40 km/h

The LFA reaches 240 km/h quicker despite being behind at 50 km/h.

Laughing out loudly at speedo racing. Unless the speedometer of these cars are linked to a GPS device, it doesn't mean a thing.

Cars went till 150 mph. The margin for error at that speedo according to regulation can maximum be 1 - 3 mph ( 2 - 6 KM/H). Still that LFA 0 - 260 km/h is an actual acceleration test run by Motorsports France.
