Today on egmCarTech, we’re launching a new segment called ‘Let’s Talk Numbers.’ What’s this new segment all about? Basically, we take two or more vehicles and do a straight number comparison and leave the arguing up to the visitor. It’s just a new section that will allow us to connect with our visitors and talk cars like we love to do.
Our first comparo is between the new Ferrari 458 Italia and the McLaren MP4-12C – why? Well, because everyone loves supercars and everyone loves talking about which is the best one out there (even if all of us can’t afford to park one in our driveway). Here we go.
