Drag races come in all shapes and sizes and yet coming across battles that involve the kind of machines we're here to show you today is something that doesn't happen very often. And the combo we mentioned in the title, which involves the Porsche Carrera GT and the Ferrari F50, is just icing on this multi-layer, high-octane cake.
The action awaiting to give you chills down the spine took place early last month, with uber-rare supercars and hypercars getting together in Switzerland.

Ambri was the location of the Supercar Owners Circle 2018 event, which brought together the kind of lineup that would make anybody weak at the knees, probably even non-car people.

After all, anybody with a sense of hearing might appreciate the music that is the exhaust note of a Ferrari 360 Challenge Stradale. Speaking of Maranello machines, if the 812 Superfast is your thing, you'll be thrilled.

Speaking of naturally aspirated V12s built by the Prancing Horse, the Apollo Intensa Emozione was also present.

Zuffenhausen aficionados predictably have reasons to jump for joy - whether you prefer a 993 redefined by Ruf or the 991.2-gen GT2 RS, you'll get your kicks. However, you have to keep in mind that some of these toys simply delivered acceleration episodes, not necessarily engaging in races. But we're not complaining here.

Now, the shenanigan we have here might seem a bit familiar, especially if you're tuned into our hooning tales. Well, that's because we brought you a similar stunt last year.

The headliner of the 2017 gathering was a battle between the Porsche 911 GT1 and the Mercedes-AMG CLK GTR and yet that was far from the only sky-high battle. For instance, another machine that took part in last fall's hostilities is the Ferrari FXX K. You know, the LaFerrari's circuit version - this only comes to confirm that the Prancing Horse no longer forces customer racers to use their toys solely at Ferrari-organised events.
