We all know the McLaren 765LT is exceptionally quick, but can it hold its own against a twin-turbocharged Audi R8?

This test was organized by British YouTuber 888MF and saw the Audi and McLaren pitted against each other on a runway for a series of drag races.

As you would imagine, the R8 has the power advantage as its twin-turbocharged 5.2-liter V10 churns out around 1,100 hp. Meanwhile, the 4.0-liter twin-turbo V8 of the McLaren 765LT has 755 hp, although dyno tests have revealed that figure to be quite conservative. Power for the McLaren is sent to the rear wheels while the Audi has an all-wheel drive system.

The driver of the McLaren gets the better start in the first race and is able to open up a small lead over the Audi. However, as the speeds start to increase, the R8 makes the most of its extra power and sprints past the 765LT, ultimately finishing a couple of car lengths ahead of its British rival.

The second race is very similar to the first; the Audi fails to match the McLaren off the line, as according to the owner, it wasn’t launching properly. However, that didn’t matter as it ended up catching and passing the McLaren before the finish line, finishing with a quarter-mile time of 9.59 seconds, which is very impressive considering the races were not performed on a prepped drag strip.
