Last time we checked, the McLaren 570S was part of Woking's Sports Series, not the British carmaker's Super Series. So the thing shouldn't be able to compete with weapons such as the Lamborghini Huracan, at least when it comes to drag races.
Heck, even in the take-off department, the the all-wheel-drive of the Raging Bull gives it the edge and yet the battle between the V10 Italian exotic and the McLaren's entry-level machine had the outcome mentioned in the title above.
Yes, we did spoil the fun of that race by mentioning its winner, but you shouldn't fret. That's because we're not dealing with a simple 570S vs. Huracan brawl here. Oh no.
Instead, we have no less than nine octane behemoths fighting from straight line supremacy. The velocity beasts met on a one-mile airfield runway in the UK, but when such an event takes place, there's one question that sits on everybody's lips - how do you choose the pairs?
The speed-obsessed crew over at The Supercar Driver, who brought the machines together, decided to go for an approach that saw the winner staying in the game.
It sounds brilliant, but what motorized superheroes do we get to see at work?
So, without further ado, allow us to introduce the speed demons you'll get to meet in the piece of footage at the bottom of the page: Aston Martin GT12, Ferrari F12 (no, not the Tour de France), Lamborghini Aventador Superveloce, Lamborghini Huracan (the "standard" LP610-4), McLaren 570S, McLaren 675 Longtail, Mercedes-AMG GT S, as well as the Porsche 911 GT3 RS and the all-mighty 918 Spyder.
Oh, and by the way, if any of you happens to disapprove the pairing setup found here, you can always check out the World's Greatest Drag Race, which sees all contenders duking it out together - here's the recent #6 Episode.
