In a recent video from CarExpert on YouTube, we are treated to a thrilling drag race between two expensive and high-end performance machines: a McLaren Senna and Ferrari 812 Competizione. Both cars are rear-wheel drive which could play a significant role in the outcome of this matchup.
The Ferrari 812 Competizione represents the ultimate evolution of Ferrari’s naturally aspirated V12 technology. Its 6.5-liter V12 engine delivers 819 horsepower at a soaring 9,500 RPM, propelling the car from 0 to 62 mph in a blistering 2.85 seconds and reaching a top speed of 211 mph.
The McLaren Senna, on the other hand, is a track-focused machine that pays tribute to the legendary F1 driver, Ayrton Senna. It is equipped with a 4.0-liter twin-turbo V8 delivering 789 horsepower and 516 lb-ft of torque. This results in staggering performance: 0 to 60 mph in 2.7 seconds, a quarter-mile time of 10 seconds flat, and a top speed of 211 mph.
