McLaren 570S vs. Lamborghini Huracan Drag Race Ends with a Big Bang

Now that McLaren 570S deliveries have finally reached full pace, we're obviously treated with all sorts of battles involving the British automaker's Sports Series machine.

And, as those of you following our 570S stories already know (here's a 570S vs. 675 LT comparo we recently brought you), the 570S is anything but entry-level.

So while, in theory, a drag race involving a Lamborghini and a McLaren should see the Huracan pitted against the 650S, the Woking-Sant'Agata Bolognese brawl we're here to show you sees the Huracan battling a 570S.

The brawl, which comes from YouTuber Shmee150, takes place in the UK, on the Rockingham Motor Speedway. And since Shmee's garage has hosted more than one McLaren (he currently drives a 675LT Spider), he gets to drive the Raging Bull.

We won't throw any spoilers at you, as we don't want to ruin the fun delivered by the piece of footage below - the clip also includes all the figures you'll ever need.

Speaking outside the fight we have here, while McLaren has obviously ensured the 570S doesn't match the 650S on the track, the Sports Series model gets dangerously close to its range mates when it comes to driving on the road.

And if we keep in mind the fact that the tuners have just started working on the 570S, drivers of all-out supercars, such as the Ferrari 488, will have even more reasons to worry when coming across one of these Woking machines. Sure, these efforts kick off with custom exhaust episodes, but we should see a full gym job in the future - here's an 800+ hp example of such an adventure involving a 12C.

P.S.: Those of you who are in a hurry or feel like any explanation delivered during such a video qualifies for the "beating around the bush" tag can jump to the 12:40 point for the sprint battle.
