Does A Stock McLaren 765LT Stand Any Chance Against A 1,100 HP Twin-Turbo Audi R8?

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.

Mansory has teased a handful of new models that it is developing bodykits for.

The first teaser posted to Facebook previews kits for both the Ferrari SF90 Stradale and Ferrari Roma. The SF90 Stradale is Ferrari’s most potent model and Mansory is planning to make it even more menacing with custom parts for the front fascia, side skirts, and rear diffuser. This teaser also previews an extended rear wing, trim around the headlights and taillights, and new trim around the side air intakes. As for the Roma, it has also been previewed with a unique front splitter, side skirts, rear lip spoiler, and rear diffuser.

The second teaser previews kits for the Maserati MC20 and McLaren 765LT. The kit for the Maserati is perhaps the most outlandish and in addition to revised front and rear bumpers, plus distinctive side skirts, it also includes a large fixed rear wing and a roof scoop. Changes being readied for the 765LT are a little more subtle but will still beef up its road presence.

Last but not least is a teaser for the 992-generation Porsche 911 and Aston Martin DBX. The 911 can be seen with unique bumpers, a large rear wing, and accents around the side air intakes. The DBX’s bodykit is also very aggressive and includes flared wheel arches, re-designed bumpers, a power bulge on the hood, a tailgate spoiler, and a roof spoiler.

Mansory has yet to announce when it will introduce these bodykits.
