Very difficult to choose between the McLaren and Porsche.
In the end I think I'd go for the Porsche. Mostly because it is so much more stealth, and I hate being stared at.

Also, the McLaren being the cheapest is really incredible. LOL at the price of the Audi.

I guess in the UK, for me rain would tend to push me towards AWD in general but can't fault the 570S for speed. Killer in a straight line and even lapping Sachsenring faster than the V10 Plus on Cup 2s. That's not easy for an MR car on Sachsenring.

When you're saving £50-60k over a 650S, it definitely seems to be the bargain buy of the McLaren range right now.

Just realised this test and those prices pre-date the Brexit vote. At present exchange rate it's ~170k Euros.

Everything that comes from AutoBild and AutoBild Sportscars is available here on GCF.

Based on the 'ring time I would expect 1:30 easy, quite possibly even better. I'm really interested to see how much g it pulls on flat corners with no camber like HHR too.

I am surprised how well the R8 did against the Turbo S.

it has more power?

Yes, it has more peak power (at least based on manufacturer's HP rating). but look where it is making its peak torque, at 6,500 RPM (which is far above the launch control launch of just over 4K RPM). The 911 Turbo S has much stronger low end torque (750Nm vs 560 Nm) and launches right at the torque peak RPM. So for the R8 Plus to stay right with the 911 Turbo S to 100km/h is somewhat surprising since the R8 is making much less power off the line.

The Lammy V10 can be surprisingly powerful. Take a look at the dyno graph on this page. It's over 600hp@crank for over 2000rpm and >650hp peak.

Now that makes more sense with nearly 560awhp it has a lot more power than they are rating it at.

Couldn't agree more with @klier , the stealth factor is a huge plus! Anyway, its amazing to see how the R8 v10 plus went from being slower then the 991 turbo s to pretty much as fast or a bit faster than the 991.2 turbo s in just one refresh! Still, i want a Turbo S!
