Recently the folk at GTspirit encountered two LaFerrari’s which they tried to catch up (unsuccessfully), with a 543hp Audi R8 V10 Plus. They followed the beast for several kilometers, and say that LaFerrari sounds great as it took the Ferrari’s V12 little effort to make it clearly heard over the V10. The two LaFerraris are factory duration test cars, both had fire extinguishers installed on the passenger seat as part of the safety procedure and they had over 15,000 kilometers on the clock.
