Two if Italy’s finest and newest supercars, the Pagani Huayra and the Ferrari F12berlinetta, came together at the Autodromo di Modena racetrack for a day of testing and high-speed chases, courtesy of Germany’s SportAuto magazine.
The Huayra makes do with a mid-mounted 6.0-litre bi-turbocharged V12 engine sourced from Mercedes-Benz’s AMG division, rated at 720hp (730PS) and 1,000Nm (737 lb-ft) for 0-100km/h (62mph) acceleration time of 3.3 seconds and a top speed of 360km/h (224mph).
Its rival from Maranello is the fastest production Ferrari ever. It sports a front-mounded 6.2-liter V12 cranking out 730hp (740PS) and 690Nm (509 lb-ft) of torque, good enough to complete the 0-100km/h (62mph) sprint in 3.1 seconds before topping out at 340 km/h+ (211mph+).
There’s no commentary in the video and we’ll have to wait for the February issue of SportAuto to find out which of the two Italian mistresses impressed journalist Christian Gebhardt the most, but we gather you won’t be disappointed…
