Our colleagues from the Youtube channel Lovecars have just put the brand new Porsche Taycan Turbo S to the test by pitting it against a McLaren P1 in a straight line race. Make your bets before you watch!
The Porsche Taycan Turbo S is one of the fastest production cars ever made. She ranks at the top of the list with the very fast Tesla Model S Performance. However, if you watch enough races like this, you know that doesn’t mean the Taycan is going to win them all. Although it must be admitted that this German sedan sprays many supercars.
But if there was a real strong opponent in the Taycan Turbo S, who would she be? If we just stick with the mass production vehicles, there are few outside of the Model S. However, if we move on to the department of supercars and hypercars limited production, there are many options. The McLaren P1 is arguably the most remarkable of all and that is why Lovecars pitted it against the Taycan.
