Lamborghini and Ferrari have been going head-to-head for decades, trading punches in horsepower, speed, and style. But when the speedometer creeps past 200 mph, only a few contenders really stand out. Here’s a closer look at the supercars that prove both brands know how to build machines that move.

Lamborghini Aventador SVJ

The Aventador SVJ isn’t subtle, and it doesn’t try to be. Its 6.5-liter naturally aspirated V12 cranks out 759 horsepower and 531 lb-ft of torque, launching it to 60 mph in under 2.8 seconds. Top speed? Over 217 mph.

What makes the SVJ interesting isn’t just raw numbers. It’s the active aerodynamics system—Lamborghini calls it ALA—that adjusts downforce in real-time. The car even set a Nürburgring lap record for production cars in 2018. It’s loud, aggressive, and makes no apologies.

Ferrari SF90 Stradale

Ferrari took a different path with the SF90 Stradale. It’s a plug-in hybrid, combining a 4.0-liter twin-turbo V8 with three electric motors to deliver 986 horsepower. That’s enough to send it from 0-60 mph in just 2.0 seconds and on to a top speed of 211 mph.

Despite all that tech, the SF90 still drives like a Ferrari. It’s balanced, sharp, and quicker around a track than most anything else with a license plate. It’s a big step for Ferrari, blending hybrid power with serious track credibility.

Lamborghini Huracán Performante

The Huracán Performante proved Lamborghini wasn’t just about flash. Its 5.2-liter V10 made 631 horsepower, and with the help of a lighter chassis and trick aerodynamics, it hit 202 mph flat out.

It also carved up the Nürburgring in under 6:53, which raised some eyebrows. The V10 soundtrack is worth the price alone, and the Performante’s agility showed that Lamborghini could build more than just boulevard cruisers.

Ferrari 812 Superfast

The 812 Superfast lives up to its name. Ferrari’s 6.5-liter V12 revs to 8,900 rpm and makes 789 horsepower, good for a 0-60 time of 2.8 seconds and a top speed of 211 mph.

It’s one of the last front-engine V12 Ferraris you can buy new, and it doesn’t pretend to be anything else. No hybrid tricks here—just pure displacement and classic power delivery. It’s fast, loud, and unmistakably old-school Ferrari in all the right ways.

Lamborghini Sesto Elemento

The Sesto Elemento never made it to the streets legally in the U.S., but it was technically street-legal in a few countries. It used a 570-hp V10 pulled from the Gallardo and weighed just 2,200 pounds thanks to heavy use of carbon fiber.

The result was a 0-60 time of 2.5 seconds and a top speed around 210 mph. It was more track weapon than grand tourer, and only 20 were built. If you blinked, you probably missed it—and that’s kind of the point.

Ferrari LaFerrari

Ferrari’s answer to the hypercar wars was the LaFerrari. Its hybrid drivetrain pairs a 6.3-liter V12 with an electric motor for a total of 950 horsepower. Top speed is over 217 mph, and it’ll do 0-60 in just 2.4 seconds.

No turbos, no AWD—just a KERS system borrowed from F1 and a chassis tuned for high-speed grip. It wasn’t just fast, it was Ferrari’s first hybrid, and it made sure everyone knew they weren’t giving up on performance.

Lamborghini Reventón

Only 20 coupe versions of the Reventón were made, making it one of the rarest Lambos ever. Based on the Murciélago LP640, it used a 6.5-liter V12 producing 641 horsepower, hitting 60 mph in 3.4 seconds with a 211 mph top speed.

The stealth-fighter design turned heads, but the Reventón wasn’t just about looks. It marked a design shift that would lead directly to the Aventador. For Lamborghini, it was a statement piece with real numbers to back it up.

Ferrari F8 Tributo

The F8 Tributo is a send-off to Ferrari’s mid-engine V8 lineage. It uses the same 3.9-liter twin-turbo V8 as the 488 Pista, pushing 710 horsepower and 568 lb-ft of torque. That’ll get you to 60 mph in 2.9 seconds and past 211 mph if you’ve got the space.

It’s lighter and sharper than the 488 it replaced, and while it’s not Ferrari’s flashiest car, it’s probably the most refined V8 they’ve ever made. It blends comfort and chaos better than most in this speed bracket.

Lamborghini Murciélago LP670-4 SV

The Murciélago LP670-4 SV was the last hurrah for Lamborghini’s classic V12 before the Aventador took over. It used a 6.5-liter engine making 661 horsepower and 487 lb-ft of torque, sending it to 60 mph in about 3.0 seconds.

The SV stood for “SuperVeloce,” and only 186 were built. With all-wheel drive and an aggressive aero kit, it had both the looks and the numbers to match. It’s still a fan favorite among V12 Lamborghini purists.

Ferrari Enzo

The Enzo launched in 2002 as a no-compromise supercar with Formula 1 tech. Its 6.0-liter naturally aspirated V12 made 651 horsepower, and it topped out at 218 mph. It had a carbon-fiber monocoque, F1-style paddle shifters, and zero sound insulation.

Only 400 were made, and the Enzo helped define Ferrari’s modern performance philosophy. It was raw, fast, and still has a look that’s unmistakable. It may not be as quick off the line as some newer Ferraris, but its top speed keeps it in the 200-mph club with pride.
