Twin Turbo Drag Race: Porsche 991 Turbo S vs. McLaren 12C

So just how fast is the new Porsche 911 Turbo S? It's reported to have a sub 3 second 0-60 time but will it really blow away Woking's finest competitor? Lucky for us the good people at Autocar find out and have a video to share!

Missed both of em. I'm betting the Turbo S starts fading in time when that V8 turbo gets going. But there's no doubt the Porsche is quick.

The McLaren are following the iPhone approach. Release an incomplete product and keep releasing software upgrades. Porsche get it right the first time!

As much as I love porsche I would love to agree with that, but reality is that porsche has been working on perfecting the 911 for 60+ years. And they are doing a great job.
Mclaren has only their second street car and it is pretty epic. Its the only car I might sell my GT2 for.

Every 911 is perfect

Driving the MP4 is epic, yes, but the design isn't even close. It'll never be a classic
