Porsche 911 GT2 RS Drag Races McLaren 720S, Destruction Is Serious

Fortunately, this isn't a street race, with the go-fast machines having been brought together by the pedal-happy folks over at Motorsport Magazine, who took the beasts outside public roads.

The Woking animal and the Zuffenhausen toy engaged in a race that was long enough to allow them to properly stretch their legs. To be more precise, this was a standing kilometer race.

And with the piece of footage documenting the crash also including the maximum velocity numbers of the two, you'll be able to get a clear take on the matter.

We have to keep in mind that the British missile dominates its German rival on multiple fronts, since it's more powerful and lighter. And this is a good opportunity to remind you that independent dyno tests have proven that the 4.0-liter twin-turbo V8 of the 720S actually delivers north of 750 horses, while the Rennsport Neunelfer packs 700 ponies.

Both beasts packs dual-clutch transmissions, while sending the power to the rear wheels, so you should pay attention to the starting phase of the race (check out the clip and you'll understand).

Then there's the aerodynamic front. The Macca is more slippery than the Porscha, packing active aero. Then again, the 911 GT2 RS is a track special, which means it comes with one hell of a fixed wing.

As for the aural side of the brawl, none of the two has a particularly special voice, so judging the decibel fight can prove quite a challenge - keep in mind that the rear-engined toy was used as the camera car for the brawl we have here.
