The automobiles
This can be a bloody thrilling drag race. We’ve pitted one of many craziest hypercars available on the market, the McLaren Senna, up in opposition to a extra ‘attainable’ primarily street going McLaren within the 765LT to determine which is faster.
They share a really comparable engine and whereas the Senna is constructed virtually fully out of carbon, it weighs round 30kg lower than the 765LT. However we reckon the Senna might be slowed down by the drag added by its big wing.
McLaren Senna
The Senna is powered by a 4.0-litre twin-turbocharged V8 engine that produces 588kW of energy and 800Nm of torque. It makes use of a seven-speed dual-clutch transmission and sends torque by the rear axle.
It has a prime velocity of 335km/h, which is simply nuts! Whereas the official 0-100km/h time is 2.8 seconds, it’ll battle to get traction on our unprepped airport runway floor.
McLaren 765LT
That includes an analogous prime velocity of 330km/h, the 765LT makes use of a 4.0-litre twin-turbocharged V8 engine that produces 563kW of energy and 800Nm of torque. It additionally contains a seven-speed dual-clutch transmission with launch management and in addition sends torque by the rear axle.
It has an similar claimed 0-100km/h time of two.8 seconds too, so that is going to be shut!
Outcomes
| Car | 0-100km/h | 80-120km/h | 0-200km/h | 1/4 mile |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| McLaren Senna | 3.96s | 1.48s | 9.50s | 11.02s @ 219.50km/h |
| McLaren 765LT | 3.54s | 1.39s | 7.98s | 10.43s @ 233.41km/h |
The outcomes communicate for themselves. It was SO shut, nevertheless it appears to be like like that further drag on the Senna slowed it down barely. Nonetheless an extremely quick end result, however reveals you ways a lot energy each of those automobiles have.
Consider as properly that it’s an unprepped floor, which makes it even tougher for top horsepower automobiles to get off the road and get traction.
