For the sake of purity of the experiment, the cars were tested on four different tracks — this way the organizers wanted to level out any random factors like asphalt condition or wind gusts. Three professional drivers got behind the wheel of each model. Based on the measurements, the first place went to the Lamborghini Gallardo LP560-4. True, it is worth noting: the list of participants from "Road & Track" did not include the Bugatti Veyron — one of the most powerful production supercars on the planet.
