Watch A McLaren 570S Annihilate An Audi R8 V10 Plus Around A Track, But Lose Out In A Straight Line

The 570S may be the quicker car on a hot lap, but it can't compete with the R8's mighty V10 in a straight line

As mentioned from the guys at Cars.co.za, the stickier rubber on the McLaren would have skewed the test a little. Repeat it with similar spec boots though, and we reckon the result would be the same, but with a smaller gap.

But which car would you rather have, the R8 or the 570S?

Track work handled like a boss. Drag time, boss moment ended

Seems like they’re both confused on where they stand. Let Bill change that :D

Huh it beat the Audi with warm tires … you always heat up before you drag race?

I’d go for the McLarry. There’s nothing like owning a car that is part of a brand that only makes supercars!
Besides, Audi is too mainstream ;)

I’d take the 570S, but I can’t be the only one who wishes that it was possible to stick an R8 engine in a 570S…

The r8 losing on the road track to a car with more 0-60 time is like a GTR R35 losing the same way to a 911 / GT350R / Challenger SRT hellcat / McLaren P1. It feels good to watch (don’t get me wrong I like the R8 because it’s not just focused on accelerating the fastest like the fanboy that created it (guess who I’m talking about (think GT))
