Ferrari 488 Pista v McLaren 720S on the road ... in the wet | Supercar review | Autocar

Published on May 23, 2019. The Ferrari 488 Pista and McLaren 720S are two of Autocar's favourite supercars of the moment. Both are mid-engined, with turbocharged V8 engines making absurd amounts of power - more than 700bhp apiece. They're great track cars and we've already tested them both, extensively, on track. But what are they like as road cars? And what are they like when the going gets ordinary: as in, rain comes down and there are speed limits and other traffic to consider? Are they still enjoyable? Join our editor-at-large Matt Prior and our special correspondent Mauro Calo - world-record drifter and the man who is hired to make 'the talent' look good on films and TV shows - as they discuss these two brilliant supercars and decide which is best.

The 427 produces around 300bhp from it's 5 litre V8 engine, which on paper makes it a real monster and a viable option to the likes of a TVR.

GD427 & 458 Italia around Bedford GT
  • Published on 15 Jun 2015. Does an AC Cobra replica make a good track day car? If it's a GD427 it does. The Ferrari was certainly an impressive machine with its' full slicks and aero, quite a contrast to the stripped out GD427 running old Kumho V70's and a crate GM LS3 525. On track the GD was more than a match for the Ferrari and created quite a stir in the paddock. The car was driven by friend and fellow GD owner Charlie Holmes. If you would like info on the GD range go to http://www.gdcars.com/ PS. sorry about the sound quality, guess we need a camera with an external mic!
