When it comes to expensive supercars with “huge” speeds, Ferrari and Lamborghini are certainly two names that are too familiar to car enthusiasts. So if we were to rank the fastest cars in the world, which of these two Italian brands would win?
Ferrari and Lamborghini are the leading supercar manufacturers from Italy and it seems like the two companies have been trying to compete with each other since their inception. Ferrari is an earlier company and was officially founded in 1948 when Enzo Ferrari displayed the Barchetta 166 MM at the Turin Motor Show.
It was not until 1963 that Lamborghini appeared when Ferruccio Lamborghini, a man who worked as a tractor manufacturer, wanted to become a car manufacturer with the sole purpose of beating Ferrari at their own game.
Both “wild horse” Ferrari and “bison” Lamborghini are famous Italian luxury car manufacturers.
For nearly the next 60 years, every product launched by Ferrari was beaten by a Lamborghini that appeared soon after. And when it looked like the “bison” car company was about to win and declare its position over its long-time rival, “wild horse” Ferrari produced another car to make Ferruccio’s company work. a little more diligent.
These two car companies are likened to Batman and Joker, one cannot exist and innovate without the other. Every Ferrari F40 was up against a Lamborghini Countach and every Murcielago that appeared was up against an F50. So at this moment, in 2023, which automaker has the fastest car?
Lamborghini’s best “bison”: Aventador LP 780-4 Ultimae
Lamborghini Aventador LP 780-4 Ultimae
In 2023, if you want to buy the coolest Lamborghini on offer on the market, look no further than the Lamborghini Aventador LP 780-4 Ultimae. The Ultimae is the last naturally aspirated non-hybrid Lamborghini V12 model that the brand will release and also the last Aventador model before the model stops production completely.
According to Car and Driver, the final Aventador did not even need to be auctioned to reach the figure of 507,353 USD (11.9 billion VND). Lamborghini said the car is equipped with a V12 engine capable of transmitting 769 horsepower through all four wheels at a consumption speed of 4.7 km/liter.
As for the speed figures, it doesn’t take a racing engineer to know that the ultimate Aventador is fast, extremely fast. The Lamborghini Aventador LP 780-4 Ultimae can launch itself to highway speeds in 2.8 seconds thanks to the immense grip it gets from its all-wheel drive powertrain.
As for top speed, the Lambo can reach 355 kilometers per hour (221 miles per hour). With this achievement, it seems that only Bugatti, another “cousin” of Lamborghini under the Volkswagen Group, has the technical specifications to beat Automobili Lamborghini, but what about the pride of Enzo Ferrari? Can it “surpass” the Lamborghini Aventador LP 780-4 Ultimae?
Pure pride of Maranello: Ferrari Daytona SP3

Ferrari is interesting in that it divides its product line into two distinct categories. There are Ferraris that an ordinary person can buy for more than the price of a large house like the Ferrari SF90 Spider worth 524,815 USD (12.3 billion VND), or there are Ferraris that you have to pay. equal to a small country to have the privilege of seeing it even indirectly.
One such car is the Ferrari Daytona SP3, part of the brand’s ultra-exclusive Icona line. According to Car and Driver, the car we just named costs 2,226,935 USD (52.2 billion VND). But what does a Ferrari worth over $2 million get you other than being able to brag that your car’s price is in the seven digits in greenbacks.
Ferrari says the 829 horsepower V12 engine powering the Daytona SP3 is the most powerful engine the company has ever produced. It can propel the Daytona SP3 to 100 km/h in 2.8 seconds. But it’s not actually the fastest accelerating Ferrari as the aforementioned SF90 Spider can achieve the same feat in 2.5 seconds, which is three-tenths of a second faster than the best of the Lamborghini. But when it comes to top speed, the automaker says the Daytona SP3 will reach “more than 211 miles per hour” (339.6 km/h).
Numbers don’t lie. Ferrari may win when it comes to sheer acceleration, but Lamborghini wins at top speed with the Aventador. Of course, given enough time, Ferrari would probably build a car with a higher top speed and Lamborghini would certainly build a car with faster acceleration. That is the circle of life./.
