The stock McLaren 720S from Drag Times is back at the strip, and this time it's racing against a supercharged Lamborghini Huracan Performante. Last time they met up, these cars were doing half-mile runs, but they switched to the quarter mile this time.
This Huracan wears what appears to be a wrap with a patina finish, and the look could be very polarizing. There's no arguing about its powerplant, though, because the supercharged 5.2-litre V10 makes a claimed 850 bhp running on a mix of E85 and 93-octane petrol. The power runs through a seven-speed dual-clutch gearbox to both axles.
In comparison, the McLaren has 710 bhp that's going to the rear wheels. The only major difference is that instead of the stock Pirelli tyres, this one rides on Toyos.
The 720S is super fast:
In the first of two races, the Huracan jumps the start. It doesn't matter, though, because the McLaren wins by covering the quarter mile in 9.934 seconds going 143.34 miles per hour. In comparison, the Lambo needs 10.25 seconds at 140.04 mph.
The second race is a fair run, so we won't spoil the results. Just watch the video.
After the races, Brooks from Drag Times offers some commentary about the runs. The Lambo's traction control system is its biggest enemy, he reports. If the driver doesn't get the launch perfect, then the computers keep the wheels from spinning by dialing back the performance.
