  • Since 2012 McLaren's line-up has ballooned from one car to eight - and one of the latest arrivals is the 570S. Based on similar carbon fibre underpinnings to its stablemates, the newcomer is designed as a supercar you can live with day to day.
    However, the McLaren isn’t the only high-performance car that’s easy to live with. The Porsche 911 Turbo S has always been the ultimate supercar for all seasons, and now there’s a revised version with even more performance and a host of interior tweaks. Audi’s sensational R8 V10 Plus completes our trio of mouth-watering machines; it combines jaw-dropping looks and top-notch quality with thrilling handling and a sublime engine. Which of our trio takes the spoils? Steve Sutcliffe hits the track to find out...

    These three cars are so desirable, the audi might be sllower but it's NA, the porsche is an absolute weapon and is practical, and the Mclaren... well it's a freaking Mclaren ffs.
    They're all gorgeous, I'd have all three.

      Good summary ... and if you want the TS or R8 to be faster ... put on the same tires as the S570 :)

    • @Amidat
      @Amidat Před 8 lety +5

      True... Interesting that in GT3 racing - the RWD version of the Audi R8 dominates both of these cars in the series they compete in. Audi always "plays it safe" with their road cars.

    • @goguhu
      @goguhu Před 8 lety +3

      Amidat Where do you get that information from?
      Also the 570S and 911 TS are not GT3 cars ... that would be the 650S GT3 and 991 GT3 R/RS/RSR (but don't think many/any are running those yet ... so most 911 R8 has been up against would have been the 997 GT3).

  • @utm4219
    @utm4219 Před 8 lety +56

    I am a huge 911 fan, but cannot ignore the fact that R8 comes with NA V10 Engine which means it is rare and sounds way more orgasmic than both 570S and Turbo S, is cheapest and just a second slower than these Turbocharged monsters. They have done a very good job!

      @Amidat Před 8 lety

      Audi has a more powerful and more torque-y turbo V8 engine that it puts in it's RS cars... They stay with this "relatively low torque" V10 to not make their Lamborghini subsidiary look bad. That is what held back the R8 in this - the lack of torque.

    • @thefridgeman
      @thefridgeman Před 8 lety +1

      Audi wont put yet a turbo engine in R8 because a turbo engine response sucks when compared to a normally aspirated one. And in a sports car you need that. Torque is good for lazy people who do not want to shift or company car's users who want to try something else beside a diesel.

      Think how fast the McLaren would be if it had 4WD like the Porsche...

    • @Wishwader
      @Wishwader Před 8 lety +12

      I expected the 911 to do better. It's the most expensive one. If the 911 couldn't even beat the McLaren on a relatively slow track it would have no chance on a faster track where the McLaren range shine. The 911 should have been fastest given it should have better traction in slower corners, as with all 4wd.

    • @InitialDAmine
      @InitialDAmine Před 8 lety +72

      doesn't make sens at all, you get 4wd you get weight with it, the tires can be changed easly not to mention that from factory you can get optional tires, changing car layout is another story

    • @nazhif1
      @nazhif1 Před 8 lety +16

      That would make the McLaren considerably heavier and upsetting the weight distribution

    • @Alex-FFM
      @Alex-FFM Před 8 lety +28

      a AWD would make the mclaren slower because it would be much heavier etc. The porsche would be faster because having the engine in the rear and awd is a deadly combination. Thats why the Porsche would definitely beat this mclaren with track tyres. Thats just a fact. a sticky tyre makes a car about 4-6 sec faster on a 1 min track. This are tyre manufacturer informations! .... so just make a calculation about how much faster the porsche would be ;)

  • @mituc
    @mituc Před 8 lety +19

    In addition to the cars being tested in their OEM configuration and the 570s having Pirelli Corsa tires as a consequence, it was the only one car biting the asphalt with only two wheels, so this is as fair as it can possibly be.

    • @benkrapf
      @benkrapf Před 8 lety +1

      Yeah, all the Deutcheheads on here complaining about tires always leave out the fact that the 570s hooks it all up through just the rears.

    • @Dgannt
      @Dgannt Před 8 lety

      But it's also a lot lighter. Don't forget that. It's more of a track car than a sports car, like the other 2. Mclaren 570 GT is more of a sports car and comparable to these 2. But a Mclaren being fast is no news. It's the one thing they always concentrate on, rather than making desirable sports cars. Hence why they lose value so fast.

    • @mituc
      @mituc Před 8 lety

      +Fast Er
      The 570s is just a sport GT car like the the other two. The lightness comes from its nature. And the grip is proportional with the coefficient of friction and mass distribution (including here the number of wheels which can pull if you refer to traction) rather than weight. Weight however helps comfort and at low speeds may help traction under some circumstances (also at low speeds), while lightness doesn't really. So the comparison between the 3 looks fair from pretty much any angle you look at it.

    • @lorenzomar9669
      @lorenzomar9669 Před 8 lety

      Also keep in mind that the tires on the 570S are significantly narrower than those on the 991 - 225 fronts and 285 rears. 20 mm of tread makes a difference. If people want to switch tires, then use the same sizes. Wait for the understeer.

      Put them all on a proper high speed race circuit and the McLaren would be off into the distance. Tight chicanes suit 4WD, but the 570S beat both of them.

    McLaren for me please. It's just so special, carbon fibre tub, same engine as the P1 and McLaren name... one of the best F1 teams ever. I love R8's engine, styling is cool too, but that's it. It could be a more interesting car if it was RWD, but we all know it will never happen. And the 911 Turbo. I'd rather have the GT3 myself. Turbo for me is just a 911 on steroids. Yes, it's a capable and practical car, but two other car here are much more special.

  • @marcnobel3938

    Amazing that the Porsche would be still the faster can when you would change to same set of tires. Than it would be also better in dry conditions than the McLaren. In all other conditions it is already better (rain, dirt, normal roads, daily driving, comfort, ...). Same happened when they test the GT3 RS vs the 675LT ... With way better race tires the McLaren was just 0,006 seconds faster. With same set of tires this would change drastic, so that the Porsche would be about 1,2 to 1,5 seconds faster per lap.

    • @alfamonk

    top test from Steve as usual - although Tires become such a big differentiator - they need to be the same on all 3 cars in order to do a test. Then 570S tends to have over 600 hp in real life. I'd still say the 911 is overall winner taking it's all year around Qualities but for those who want something more flashy the Mac package is hard to beat

    I am a amateur race driver. Driving in endurance racing for years. And I can tell you that we once tried Michelin Cup 2 tiers and lost around 2 seconds per lap, compared to our R- tiers. Nothing changes the outcome of the lap time as using track orientated tiers. Don't understand why they do these comparisons with different tiers? I am super impressed by the Porsche. If it would have the same tiers as the McLaren it would have done far better.
    Some of you argue about AWD vs RWD. As a race driver I prefer RWD. It makes the car lighter and more nimble to drive. Sure on a wet track a would prefer the AWD.
    But in my book this race goes to the Porsche.

    Whether or not the MCLaren is the fastest, if it had AWD would it still be faster and if it was heavier would it still be so good, put the sticky tires on the Turbo blah blah blah. The fact is the 570 is brand new! The Turbo S is YEARS old. OK, they updated the platform, but have been since the Turbo was first itorduced IT SHOULD BE GOOD! You Porsche fanboys are fucking pathetic. They have spent billions researching in to improvements over the years. Barely updated the look of the car with just a few tweaks and such. But you lot, think the Turbo S just came out of no where 5 minutes ago and took diwb every other car! Lets see the 570 in 40 years time how BRILLIANT it would be...

    • @robcharlton4486
      @robcharlton4486 Před 5 lety

      ​@@GraveUypo You're absolutely right. There is almost always bias in every opinion... ALMOST. I have had the privilege of driving the 911 on a track day, the v10 plus as a hire car, and I have just chosen the mclaren 570s spider as my next hire car, which is what brought me here.
      Right now I would opt for the Naturally aspirated R8... Instant power delivery, fantastic brakes, capable of oversteer when pushed, nicley planted. Only downside which I could tell is the electric steering being a little less communicative than I'd like. The Porsche is very fast and capable, but failed to spark any emotion.
      However, on paper I would always opt for the Mclaren out of the 3 and not because of the aforementioned British bias, but because of it's characteristics; RWD, lightweight, agile, hydraulic steering, and you have to work for it... it's a drivers car!
      If the Germans or any other nationality had built a car with these characteristics it would not change my opinion of the car. I make up all of my opinions objectively, as I'm sure many others do.
      It's most likely your slight disliking of the British which pushed you to make such a comment in the first place.

      I’m sure you will tag me as a fanboy as I own the 991.2 Turbo S,
      That being said tires make a huge difference here’s the difference the PSS on the Porsche and Audi have a tread wear of 200 designed for more everyday use, even moving up to the Cup 2 treat wear is 120 much softer tire and grippier there so much more then the PSS. Now the P0s Corsa ( PZC4 ) have a tread wear of 80 and is considered a track only tire with super soft sticky tires. There trying to say Race tires over street tires are the same but there not.

  • @honerakrawi7032

    This shows how extremely good the Porsche is, with the Trefeo tires it would have won and this is with the weight disadvantage...I am a amateur racing driver and know how important the tires are and you could argue that if the 570s had four wheel drive then it would have won, but it is not that easy making a great four wheel drive system is very complicated and ads weight and it can be a disadvantage having a four wheel drive car on the race track so who says it would be better for the 570s with the four wheel drive...change tires takes minutes making a four wheel drive system that works perfectly takes generations of cars.

    What I am not able to wrap my head around is why are people complaining about tires the Michelins strapped to the Porsche are more or less the same as the Corsas. You wanna upgrade how about use the Michelin Pilot Sport Cup 2s also found on the 918. They were good enough to beat the P1. But that would mean upgrading the 570s to a set of Trofeos or Trofeo Rs as found on the P1. I still think the 570s would win because it's so much lighter. People are saying the Porsche would get 3 seconds over the 570 if it had the same tires. Are you kidding me?! 3 seconds on this small track is monumental. That would be like 20 seconds at the Ring and we know damn well the McLaren isn't 20 seconds slower. If the Porsche were faster it maybe by a tenth of a second or two and that's a big IF!

Having owned two 911s in my 56 year life, I believe McLaren are currently the best looking cars on the planet. Please let me know when they reach Porsche levels of reliability and 'reasonable' maintenance costs... if that ever happens, I will buy a 4 or 5 year old model (I hope).
