Certain street racing moments are more in-your-face than other and we're here to talk about one that saw a pair of supercars getting it on in broad daylight.
The speed demons involved in the brawl are a Lamborghini Aventador Roadster and a McLaren 650S Spider - notice how the open-top form of the beasts kept the race balanced.

The two were joined by other go-fast machines, among which we find another Lamborghini, namely a Murcielago LP640 that serves as the camera car, with the Murcie's driver making efforts to deliver the piece of footage at the bottom of the page.

The Aventador and the 650S had one more thing in common - their drivers enjoyed listening to the soundtrack of their engines and since the men drove open-air models, this isn't difficult to understand.

As such, the Sant'Agata Bolognese machine was gifted with an IPE exhaust, while the Macca expressed its aural feelings and emotions with the help of Fabspeed-delivered hardware.

Ironically, the 6.5-liter naturally aspirated V12 heart of the Murcielago and the twin-turbo 3.8-liter unit animating the Woking animal find themselves at the opposite ends of the aural violence scale.

In fact, the Raging Bull's aftermarket-augmented scream is so loud that it makes the street racing even more obvious. For instance, at a certain point in the video we can listen to the Aventador through the open window of the Murcielago driving next to it and, even for those of you with serious supercar experience, the dB fest will be intense.

Speaking of which, as fun as it can be to watch such mid-engined beasts duking it out, their adventure, which took place on a rather busy freeway, could've easily ended badly.

Even without the episode involving any incident, these are the kind of moments that risk bringing a bad name for the entire supercar community, both when it comes to law enforcement and those outside the car-loving world.
