Ah, the now-classic dilemma of mounting the GoPro when racing: should it face the front or the rear of your car? In a drag battle between the McLaren 765LT and its Senna big brother, the best bet used to involve fitting each of the Woking machines with a pair of cameras, since the sprinting abilities of the two appear extremely similar. ....
autoevolution 11 Feb 2021, 8:16 UTC · by Given their names, a child could probably tell you that the McLaren 765LT can one-up the 720S. However, even as adults who know a thing or two about the mid-engined creations born in Woking, we have to admit that nothing can fully prepare us for how the Longtail model leaves its sibling behind at the drag strip. 5 photos Ever since the 720S came out in 2017, the British supercar has established a rock-solid reputation as a drag racer, crushing fellow supercars and even punching into hypercar territory (here s the thing duking it out with its P1 big brother). And, as a result of all the sprinting might of the 720S, friends started calling it the supercar that never lost a drag race. ....
Ferrari SF90 Stradale Does Amazing 9.6s Quarter-Mile, Beats McLaren 765LT 4 Feb 2021, 10:02 UTC · by You can write a book on the variables that influence a quarter-mile run, such as surface, tires, density altitude, the amount of fuel in the tank, and others, but there are better things to do. You know, stuff like actually getting behind the wheel and going for it to see what happens in real-world scenarios. And the time has come for the Ferrari SF90 Stradale to demonstrate its abilities in an instrumented street test. 5 photos Take a look at the calendar. No, not that calendar, but a particular one on the Internet, which will tell you that we now live in the era of 9-second street-going cars. And we re talking about a road vehicle sharing the first half of its designation with the SF90 Formula One car, so nobody expected the Stradale to be anything less than a member of the said elite. ....
autoevolution 28 Jan 2021, 15:55 UTC · by The statement comes from somebody who has just taken delivery of his $380,000 McLaren 765LT, a supercar he took home to a garage that also includes a Ferrari F8 Tributo, a Ford GT40, a Lamborghini Huracan EVO RWD, and another McLaren, the 720S. 20 photos Granted, he also owns a Tesla, but it didn t get a mention in that first paragraph for the simple reason it doesn t get an actual spot inside the garage. That s right, the EV is kept out like a worthless dog, but that s probably because using any of the others as a daily driver makes much less sense than jumping into the Tesla. ....
C8 Corvette Convertible Drag Races Mercedes-AMG GT R, Gap Is Deceiving 27 Jan 2021, 9:54 UTC · by These days, getting behind the wheel of a supercar can easily be done by renting one, but what if (as you would when buying the thing) there are budget limitations? Let s say that you can t spend more than $1,000 (hey, it s a nicely rounded number) on a one-day adventure. What would you get, a C8 Corvette Convertible or a Mercedes-AMG GT R? 5 photos Arguably, the two models we re discussing don t belong to the said genre, but this is another story for another time. For now, let s stick to the said question, one whose answer doesn t come easy. ....
