I must admit I thought the Turbo S would blitz them, if that's what a cooking McLaren can do Christ knows what a 675 LT is like.

Once moving the Mac has an aerodynamic and weight advantage. It's the R8 that gets my attention - looks and sounds fantastic. And nearly as quick as the Porsche. GTR good value but no longer the surprise to the party.

I think the Macca jumps the start fractionally, probably because the guy driving it wants to win just a little too much, and that start shows at the finish line. Otherwise I don't think there's much in it between those two tbh.

If anything the Audi gets the start I thought.

That 570S is awesome, properly awesome.

Turbo S is the daddy of launches. Incredible considering it's probably the most useable there day-to-day. If I were to pick one though it would have to be the 570S. Turbo S is too clinical, new R8 doesn't do it for me in terms of looks, and the GTR is just big and ugly, always has been as far as I'm concerned...

On another note, the 570S appears to change colour between yellow, red and orange?

my Grandma will be delighted. Auto-launch to the corner shop

Really close when you look at 1/4 mile times, would love any of the first 3

Still impressed what an excellent job Audi has done with its first attempt at a 2 door 2 seat high performance coupe (modern era)

The 675 LT would eat the lot, huge gap.
