In a Japanese television program, was made a peculiar duel to view all uneven. The venue: the circuit of Motegi oval. The contestants were nothing less than a Ferrari F430 and a Toyota Corolla.
The Italian fireball has a V8 engine with 480 horsepower, while the “modest” (in theory, you’ll see) Nippon equipped with a 1.8 for only 135 hp. Without doubt, an advantage for Ferrari abysmal. Both cars are automatic, but while the Italian has a gearbox with paddles, Toyota has a Super CVT-i, much less sportsmanship. In short, all say that Ferrari will get a landslide victory .
