From 0 to 60, the Ferrari Enzo is faster than a cheetah !?

Question

This is a True or False question.
Ferrari Enzo V-12
660 Horsepower
448 lbs of torque
Cheetah (3.5 to 4.5 ft tall and weights from 77 to 145 lbs)

Answer 1

I don't think it's completely known, some people say a cheetah can do it in about 2 seconds........but i'd say the Cheetah would prob win - an Enzo does it in 3.34 seconds. But! An Ariel Atom will do it in as quick as you can change gear - around 2.5 seconds in general, i'd say that it could beat the cheetah!

Answer 2

Well, they say that a cheetah can get up to speeds of 60 mph for short periods of time. I notice you don't mention a timeframe here, nor do you mention any rate of acceleration. Assuming that a cheetah can travel at speeds of 0-60, and assuming that the ferrari enzo is for this purpose, limited to speeds of 0-60, I would guess that in a sprint, the two are equally fast. However, the enzo could probably keep going at 60 for a lot longer, so on a longer race, the ferrari could keep doing 60 long after the cheetah had to stop. Since the cheetah would then be going 0mph, it would be within the range you specify, and the car would be faster.

The car will continue to be improved under the Evolution kit, which will continually adjust specifics to create more power, change gearing, and remove drag. The 6262 cc V12 engine will be pushing out 860 PS (630 kW; 850 hp) at 9500 rpm. There will be gearbox changes so that shift time will be reduced to 60 milliseconds per shift, a reduction of 20 milliseconds. The car will also undergo aerodynamic changes and improvements to the traction control system. Its top speed is 227 miles per hour (365 km/h).[13]

Answer 4

I think if you tested this in the cheeta's natural habitat, the cheetah would win hands down, as the great plains would knock the **** out of the underside of the Ferrari......

Seiously, great question. I think the Ferrari would win the nought to sixty on a track .....

Answer 5

i dont know.. if you can get a cheetah to run as fast as it can and start at the exact same time as the enzo, then the cheetah might be faster.

Answer 6

Bugatti Veyron 1001 HP 0-60 2.5s ...

Answer 7

cheetahs run at 75mph so guess the ferrari would lose that race........UNLESS the wind is head on then the car would have more power :)

Answer 8

according to wikipedia, the cheetah does it it 3.5 seconds. There are plenty of "supercars" that can beat that.

Answer 9

Cool question, dunno is my answer.

But, in the time a 1.3 Micra can do 0 - 60. A Diablo GT will go from 0 - 100 - 0 again.
