Can a Porsche 911 keep up with the best mid-engine cars from Ferrari and McLaren? Well, as long it’s the top go 911 GT2 RS you stand a chance based on the recent drag race from the guys at carwow. In this race we see a mid-engine Ferrari F8 take on a McLaren 765LT and Porsche 911 GT2 RS in a simple drag race. Which of these turbocharged supercars is the quickest? Let’s find out.
Our first contender is the Ferrari F8 Tributo is the latest mid-engine V8 Ferrari which debuted in 2019 to replace the Ferrari 488. The F8 is powered by a twin-turbo 3.9-litre V8 engine that produces 710 bhp and 567 lb-ft of torque. This beast of an engine is mated to a 7-speed dual-clutch automatic transmission that routes power to the rear wheels. The Ferrari F8 Tributo can sprint from 0 to 60 mph in around 2.8 seconds with a top speed of 211 mph.
Next up we have the limited production McLaren 765LT. The 765LT is the high-performance version of the already impressive McLaren 720S and allowed McLaren engineers to go absolutely mad. The McLaren 765LT takes the twin-turbo 4.0-litre V8 from the McLaren 720s and boosts power to 755 bhp and 590 lb-ft of torque. Much like the Ferrari F8, the McLaren uses a 7-speed dual-clutch automatic transmission to send power to the rear wheels. The 765LT can spring from 0 to 60 mph in 2.4 seconds with a top speed of 205 mph.
