Also 991.2 turbo S lost to the new 570S in a drag race which traps a few mph more with less hp!!  |
The Mclaren also weighs 400 lbs less and was on a very sticky p zero corsa tire (cup grip levels) vs the street tires on the Turbo S and r8 so that's not a surprise that it's a little faster. Even out the tires and things change a bit. The turbo S still beat them both in the comparo though given that it was better in grip, braking, slalom too. |
The 911 turbo is awd (should be a big advantage) and still lost. Face it-the McLaren is super fast and has real high tech materials chassis(carbon tub vs steel/aluminum for Porsche). There is also a difference in trap speeds-and 570S is a few ticks above 991 turbo S (tires don't change the story there)!!!
Drive a 570S and then you'll see how advanced it is compared to 911 Turbo S! Or you can be a Porsche fanboy for life without ever knowing someone else can make a better car out there.
