RCZ-R

Hi,
a german motor magazine put the RCZ R against the Porsch Cayman PDK on a race track. The porsch was equipped with PASM and the LSD beside the PDK gearbox.
Full disclosure: the RCZ R wins!
One might say, so what? But considering the fact a porsch is treated like a holy cow in Germany, they never let any car win against a porsch. As they wrap up the test they say, the RCZ is quicker (not only on the race track), drives well and is cheaper. So there is nothing to add to it and the Pug wins. Nice one!
Few figures from the test:
Race track time
RCZ R 1:40,40
Cayman: 1:40,85
The RCZ R is quicker than TTS (by 2,4 sec!), the previous Cayman S (by 0,2 sec) and is very close to the iconic BMW 1M coupe (0,2 sec slower)
It also wipes the floor with cars like the new S3, Golf R, AMG CLA45.
Acceleration times (RCZ R vs Cay)
0-62
5,7 sec vs 5,5 sec (R is 0,2 sec quicker than listed / the Cayman was equipped with PDK with launch control)
0-125
21,4 sec vs 21,6 sec (R is pulling away beyond 125mph)
In gear acceleration
37-62 in 4th gear (it is like 40-60mph in UK magazines)
4,1 sec vs 6,4 sec
50-75 in 5th gear
5,3 sec vs 8,4 sec
Overall they say RCZ’s motor pulls very strong. Especially the in-gear acceleration of RCZ is way better than in the porsch. No surprise, it is a turbo’ed engine.
cheers
