Race simulation at real speed
CONFIDENCE 96%The Aventador S reaches 100 km/h first (2.88 s vs 3.03 s), but the F8 Spider is ahead at every metre of the race. Explanation: the F8 Spider accelerates harder at low speed and builds a distance gap before either car hits 100 km/h.
Why this result?
The Lamborghini Aventador S is faster at 0-100 km/h, but the Ferrari F8 Spider compensates at high speed thanks to higher peak power or top speed. At 400 m, Ferrari F8 Spider leads by 0.16 s.

Aventador S vs F8 Spider: chronicle of a drag race at 353 km/h
The launch: 0 to 100 km/h
Off the line, the Aventador S hits 100 km/h in 2.88 s versus 3.03 s for the F8 Spider. At this point, the Aventador S leads by 0.15 s and sits roughly 3 m ahead.
From 100 km/h to 400 metres
At 200 metres, the F8 Spider is doing 190 km/h against 182 km/h for the Aventador S. The gap is 0.00 s. The challenger starts to claw back ground.
At 400 metres standing start, the F8 Spider crosses the line in 10.15 s versus 10.30 s. The 0.16 s gap represents roughly 10 m of track — barely a car length.
Beyond 400 metres: top speed comes into play
Past 400 metres, the F8 Spider continues to build its lead. At 600 metres, it runs at 263 km/h versus 253 km/h. At 1,000 metres, the F8 Spider finishes in 18.12 s versus 18.59 s, with a 0.47 s lead. Both vehicles have similar top speeds (353 vs 351 km/h), preventing any comeback.
What the numbers don’t tell you
With two combustion powertrains, the difference comes down to power-to-weight ratio (2.13 kg/hp vs 1.94 kg/hp) and transmission (Automatic vs Automatic).
In European road use (130 km/h max), both vehicles reach the legal speed limit in under 4.01 seconds. The 0.15 s difference in 0 to 100 km/h is mostly felt in motorway merging and overtaking.
Lamborghini Aventador S is slightly faster than the Ferrari F8 Spider to 100 km/h. The edge holds on standing starts but may narrow at higher speeds depending on aerodynamic load.
