Interesting observation. I actually believe that the Ferrari Poopdick McFartington is fast...

Poopdick McFartington better than a Zonda R...? Ehhhhh...I dunno. I'd also take the McLaren F1 over the Ferrari Poopdick McFartington. But, again, I'm really nitpicking between godly supercars.

LaFerrari is just a jaw dropping stunning machine.

I might just want it more than my beloved Pagani machines.

Hey, not going to argue with you about if the Poopdick McFartington is better than the Zonda or vice versa...it's all about preference at this tier.

All are godly cars.

The Lambos have always looked more hard-edged than the curvy (or sometimes bulbous) Ferraris-- I prefer the current Aventador and Murcielago to the LaFerrari and 612 bodies.

The Enzo has always looked like a dorky racecar to me.

Will...Lambo has always looked edgy (Countach, Diablo, Gallardo, Murci and even Aventador) and the Ferrari has always looked curvy (599/F430/F360)....but the recent Ferrari's have gotten very edgy and very very sexy....

I would have preferred the Gallardo over the F430 but no way I am gonna pick the Aventador/Reventon over 458 or F12 or even LaFerrari

I can't help but chuckle a bit at comparing Lamborghini vs. Ferrari design. On the former, I can liken it to a loud rapper-type Hublot Big Bang watch...a hey-look-at-me piece. A Ferrari is more like a Vacheron Constantin, while still draws attention, not nearly as loud...

Neither is wrong...just depends on taste. That being said, while I love Lamborghinis (from the Muira to the Aventador; not sure about the incoming new ones though), I would always take a Ferrari if given a choice.

I know, I know, Infiniti's still look like crazy sea creatures with wheels, but compared to the Lamborghini Veneno & Egoista....I'll might go with the sea creature with wheels Infiniti.

Both are goofy looking designs, but Lambo has really gone off the deep end lately.

I've always been a Lambo guy, but hard to argue how amazing porsche and ferrari and all the other super cars are. I mean, I'd still pick a TL and all though...

LaFerrari Spotted Laying Laps at the Nurburgring

Luke Vandezande | Sep 25, 1:45 PM Add a Comment

Ferrari was spied at the Green Hell early this morning taking the Enzo-replacing LaFerrari for a jaunt on the vaunted circuit.

It’s still loud, still wearing a little camouflage and still very impressive. The limited-production Italian supercar bowed in Geneva months ago, which raises a couple of questions. Why is it still partially covered? Is there still something to hide? Previous reports from earlier in the summer suggested the car might not have entered production.
Ferrari will only build 599 of it’s narcissistically named halo car, and the company has more than enough hands raised to fill that order sheet. Maybe Ferrari isn’t so pleased with the car as its name would suggest.
Or maybe the laps have something to do with Porsche’s 918 Spyder shattering the lap time record earlier this month. Could the street-legal interpretations of Ferrari’s harrowing F1 technology meet or even beat Porsche’s new 6:57 lap time? Is this what life is like for a Ferrari engineer with spare time?
