The Porsche is a 911 GT2 RS which means that it is basically a road race car. It is a rear-engine, rear-wheel drive, hardtop, coupe, with an automatic transmission (7-speed dual-clutch). The engine is a 3.8-liter, twin turbocharged, boxer, and it is capable of producing 700hp. With a 0 to 60 mph time of only 2.7-seconds, this beautiful German entry should be a force with which to be reckoned on or off the track.
The McLaren is the vaunted 720S. It is a mid-engine, rear-wheel drive supercar with a 7-speed, dual-clutch, automatic transmission. Powered by a twin turbocharged, 4.0-liter V8 engine, the 720S can accelerate from 0 to 60 mph in 2.7-seconds and is capable of generating 710hp. This stunning British machine is purpose-built to tame street or strip.
So, this is set to be a three-part contest. First up is a drag race. Next is a roll race. If necessary, the third race will be run to decide a winner. Buckle up – it’s time to go racing!
