Yes, we know that a car is much more than the sum of its numbers; that how it does what it does is just as important as what it actually does. Maybe even more important. But this isn"t about that. This is the new Ferrari 488 Pista (that"s Italian for track, so do stop sniggering), expressed in hard stats, numbers and data. And then compared with its main competition Porsche"s fearsome 911 GT2 RS, and the superlative McLaren 720S.Why? Well, it"s much easier to win an argument when the raw numbers are on your side. And besides, when the numbers are this large (and ludicrous), there"s a perverse satisfaction in ruthlessly benchmarking them. So, without further ado, let"s dive in.
