The world of automotive has long been trying to give us the fastest car they can ever since the mode of transportation was discovered. And this love for speed and excitement helped fuel the sales and success of numerous supercar brands, but there are two that stand out among all others.
Lamborghini has been after Ferrari's market share since before it was conceived. You see, the founder of Lamborghini was a tractor seller and a passionate mechanic, so when he found a few flaws in his '60s Ferrari and tried to advise Enzo Ferrari himself on how to fix them, Ferrari responded he didn't want any advice from a tractor mechanic. Since then, both companies have been competing for the title of the most advanced and desirable supercar producer in the world.
Today, both Ferrari and Lamborghini make spine-chillingly fast supercars aimed at the most ambitious sports car fanatics. And while the quality of both cars is beyond denying, the question of who actually, in the end, makes faster supercars is still a valid one.
Here, we compare the 5 fastest Lamborghini cars to the 5 most visceral Ferraris to find out which brand will glue you to your seat the most, based on their 0-60mph acceleration.
10 Ferrari LaFerrari - 0-60 in 2.4 Seconds
The Ferrari LaFerrari is a marvelous piece of art that exudes singularity and thrilling performance. This marvelous road machine is one of the models that make Ferrari so proud that its name even translates to "The Ferrari."
After a few years of hard work, the company finally has its contribution to the ever-evolving world of hybrid cars. Though strange and bug-like in design, the overall shape of the LaFerrari is meant to be as aerodynamic as possible. The car is limited to only 499 units with the 2020 version belonging to this year's fastest supercar hybrids.
9 2020 Ferrari SF90 Stradale - 0-60 in 2.4 Seconds
After Ferrari rolled out their first-ever hybrid, they knew they were ready to take a more futuristic approach with their products. So for 2020, they decided to follow the trend of making cars that are less likely to harm the environment. This fabulous machine is called the SF90 Stradale, and it's a full-on plug-in hybrid that's bound to revolutionize the supercar industry.
Though it only comes with a V8, this racing machine can take your breath away with one swoop from 0 to 60. Thanks to the electric motors, the Stradale can generate an extra 217 horsepower on top of the 769 hp from the engine alone.
8 Ferrari F50 GT - 0-60 in 2.9 Seconds
The original Ferrari F50 was the model that inspired the making of the F50 GT. Although the F50 was satisfying enough when came to speed and performance, Ferrari thought they could do better. So in 1996, the company had a bit of help from Italian chassis manufacturer, Dallara, and Italian aircraft producer, ATR to make the car more competitive.
The GT ended up having a different rear wing and a notable air intake decorating the roof. It also had a sequential gearbox and carbon fiber discs. And although it does carry the same size engine as the one in the F50, the GT is definitely faster than its regular counterpart.
7 Ferrari 488 GTB Scuderia - o-60 in 2.7 Seconds
The Ferrari 488 GTB Scuderia comes from a whole generation of V8-equipped prancing horses that were appealing to the eyes and the overall senses. At the time, Ferrari was already receiving pressure from Lamborghini and McLaren, so they had to find a way to get back in the game.
Instead of getting to work on an entirely new model, they took inspiration from the 458 Italia and decided to make their next showstopper from there. The end result was a mighty car with a V8 engine under the hood that could top at 205 miles per hour.
6 Ferrari LaFerrari FXX K - 0-60 in 2.4 Seconds
The Ferrari FXX K may not carry a face that all car lovers will like. But it certainly has a few features that will leave most handsome-looking cars in the dust. With a 2.4-second record of going from 0 to 60 miles per hour and $2.7 million dollars as the price tag, you're lucky enough to even get a glimpse of this car.
It also has over 1,000 horsepower under the hood and more than 660 lb-ft of torque. It's no wonder the FXX K is dubbed as the uncompromised rendition of another fan favorite, the LaFerrari.
5 2019 Lamborghini Aventador SVJ - 0-60 in 2.5 Seconds
First released in 2011, who knew that various A-listers like Cardi B and Nicki Minaj would find the Lambo Aventador suitable for their garage. But with the attractive aesthetic and aggressive purr, we can't really blame them for shedding out nearly half a million dollars for an underbaked car.
Fortunately, it didn't take too long for Lambo to address the unsatisfying dynamics using the tricked out Lamborghini Aventador SVJ. Thanks to the excessive use of carbon fiber, Lamborghini's aerodynamic system, and its powerful V12 engine, the Aventador's 2.9-second sprint from 0-60 miles is now achievable in only 2.5 seconds.
4 Lamborghini Aventador LP900-4 Molto Veloce DMC - 0-60 in 2.5 Seconds
Since everyone didn't find the regular Lamborghini Aventador fast and outrageous enough, the company decided to have some extra hands do the tuning for this model.
The Lamborghini Aventador LP900-4 Molto Veloce DMC was a product of the collaboration of Lamborghini and the reputable Germany-based performance car tuner, DMC. Thanks to their efforts, the previous 691 horsepower is now at a skippy 885 hp. There have also been new touches to the look of the vehicle, like the black rims with middle areas matching the color of the car's body.
3 2018 Lamborghini Huracán Performante - 0-60 in 2.4 Seconds
If you're looking for cars that are as fast as they are expensive, look no further than the Lamborghini Huracan Performante. Don't get us wrong, the regular Huracan was a magnificent car. But like all things, it could have undoubtedly been better, and it did.
The regular Huracan arrives at 602 horsepower while the Performante has an extra 38 to spare. It's also considerably lighter and is even built with more aerodynamic body parts like the massive rear wing. This lets the Huracan Performante easily outrun the base Huracan in drag and roll races.
2 Lamborghini Gallardo Dallas Performance Stage 3 - 0-60 in 2.8 Seconds
Whether it's dressed up as a batmobile or a Ford Mustang, any Lambo fan would immediately recognize one of the fastest Lambo models around. But since there will always be room for improvement, a few tuning experts in Dallas, Texas decided to jump the Gallardo's performance.
Dallas Performance took it into their own heads to make the Gallardo's top speed go from 202 miles per hour to 233. Also, rather than taking 3.7 seconds to go from 0 to 60 mph, the Stage 3 Galardo can now achieve the same distance in only 2.8 seconds.
1 2011 Lamborghini Sesto Elemento - 0-60 in 2.4 Seconds
If you aren't too much of a Lamborghini fan, you may have never heard of the Lamborghini Sesto Elemento. This is actually one of the rarest cars that Lamborghini has ever produced - asides from being one of the fastest, of course.
It was first unveiled at the Paris Auto Show in 2010. At the event, Lamborghini promised the public that the concept is ready for production the year after. There were only 20 units of this model with each costing $2.8 million. Though a rare opportunity, there have also been cases where a Sesto Elemento was put up for sale by their owners.
