YouTube’s famous automobile channel carwow has released a new drag race, which it organizes every week and where powerful vehicles share their trump cards, today. In last week’s race, we watched two ‘heavyweight’ cars that showed impressive performances even though they were not designed for the tracks. Today, things have changed. Because both vehicles in this race are the kind that will blow the dust off the drag track.
Opposite the British automotive giant McLaren’s 765LT is the Porsche Turbo S, one of the best examples of German power. Although both vehicles impress aesthetically, the power underlying their hoods is just as impressive. Let’s take a look at the general characteristics of the two competitors before we take a look at the race…
General features of McLaren 765LT and Porsche Turbo S:
McLaren 765LT, which is in the first lane of the race, produces 765 horsepower and 800 Nm of torque with its 4-liter V8 engine. The rear-wheel drive car is lighter than its rival in the race. The McLaren 765LT, which weighs 1339 kg, has a price of 280 thousand pounds, which cannot be imagined.
Another ambitious competitor in the second lane is the Porsche Turbo S. With its 3.8-liter twin-turbo inline-six engine, it can produce 650 horsepower and 800 Nm of torque. The four-wheel drive car is behind its rival in weight, along with the lack of horsepower. Despite this, the market price of the 1640 kg Porsche Turbo S, which maintains its claim in the race, is stated as 155 thousand 970 pounds.
Now that we have a look at the vehicles, we can choose your favorite and start the race. In the first stage of the race (3:30 – 4:30 minutes), the departure speeds of the vehicles are tested. In the second stage (5:30 – 6:35 minutes), acceleration abilities are competed while driving. In the third and final stage (7:45 minutes), there is the brake test.
