VIDEO: McLaren MP4-22 against W204 C350, etc

W204 C350

Track lap comparisons between Formula One cars and lesser track and road cars have been done to death now (here is an older version of the McLaren F1 car versus Mercedes road car etc), and even this video is 2 years old but it’s one of the more fairly updated comparisons, as one of the cars that’s pit against the F1 car is the new W204 C-Class in C 350 form. The other two cars are the Mercedes-Benz CLK 63 AMG Black Series and the C-Class DTM race car. The Formula One car is the Vodafone McLaren Mercedes MP4-22 piloted by Fernando Alonso. Watch the action after the jump.

    That’s just simply insane. “At the last few metres, and it seems that those cars seems to be having some problem”, so he says. Dammit, and those cars are not even normal cars that WE drive everyday Alonso. Lol…still, its amusing..

    I think its a very good benchmark on how fast an F1 car is compared to other normal (monsters) on our highways.

    That’s something new, they told him to pit and they did a pit stop. Usually in these kinds of tests they would simply release the F1 car after a long while.
