Earlier this week we published our group test of the new Aston Martin Vantage taking on the Porsche 911 C4 GTS, McLaren 570GT and AMG GT R. They are all deeply fast cars. According to their claimed acceleration figures, the joint slowest are the GT R and the 911, and they still hit 62mph in 3.6secs. The fastest, the McLaren, is only 0.2secs ahead, with the Aston splitting the difference. In other words, there"s not a lot between them. Or is there?Only one, the Porsche, has the off-the-line advantage of 4wd. But, at 293bhp/tonne, it also has the worst power to weight ratio. All bar the Aston have quick-shifting double clutch gearboxes, and all bar none have effective launch control systems. So which will be the fastest over the mile? Here they are, slowest first.
