MB SLS AMG vs. Lexus LFA - performance stats
The July 2010 issue of Car and Driver has a road test of the MB SLS AMG and a track test of the Lexus LFA. I found the numbers comparison interesting:
Price - SLS $202550, LFA $379,000
Power - 563bhp, 553bhp
Torque - 479lb-ft, 354lb-ft
Curb weight - 3792lb, 3583lb
0-60mph - 3.5, 3.7
0-100mph - 7.5, 7.8
0-150mph - 17.4, 18.3
1/4-mile - 11.6 @ 126, 11.8 @ 124
200-ft skidpad - 0.98g, 1.00g
70-0mph - 151ft, 156ft
I'm pretty surprised that the SLS beats the LFA across most of the performance metrics, given the huge gulf in price between the two cars.

Easy (and not surprising), the SLS a little more HP and weight, but a lot more torque.

WTF? I remember a press release from Mercedes saying that the SLS had a curb weight of 3300 and change. When did that change?

If I were rich enough, I'd still take LFA over SLS . LFA's sound, and its many other characteristics are just attracting.

The Merc honestly will probably have a better long-term and verrrry long term value also (% based if not outright). Gull wings baby
