Now that everything has been compared against the Nissan GT-R, save for the V8-powered skate board, people are lining up other exotics against crotch rockets with just the same, if not more, amount of entertainment.
If you’re into Italians, the machinery and not the women, they have quite a wide selection of speed machines to choose from. Motor Trend have decided to pit two of the country’s finest on four and two wheels against each other, the Ferrari 458 Italia and the Ducati 1198S.
Though the 458 Italia has received rave reviews from the motoring press, which is duly deserved too, it was no match for the bike’s power-to-weight ratio that allowed it to just gallop away from the Prancing Horse.
Nonetheless, the video’s a must watch with a head-to-head race and then a lap around the Streets of Willow.
