Nice one :)
That reminds me of a "fun" car test in a German car magazine some years ago.
They were comparing the cheapest and the most expensive car from the Fiat group:
a Fiat 127 (similar to a Fiat 500 nowadays) against a Ferarri Testarossa.
The first test was to get 3 people from Munich to Augsburg (approx. 70km), the Ferarri lost with about 30 minutes difference because it had to drive two times ;)
