Twin-turbo V8 muscle met raw runway reality as the Mercedes-AMG GT Black Series squared off against the McLaren 750S in a no-prep drag race staged by CarExpert<\/a>. On paper, the matchup looks evenly balanced\u2014rear-wheel drive, forced induction, and track-focused engineering\u2014but the results told a very different story.<\/p>\n

The AMG GT Black Series<\/a> packs a 4.0-liter twin-turbo V8 with a flat-plane crank, producing around 720 hp and 800 Nm, paired with a 7-speed dual-clutch gearbox. It sprints from 0\u2013100 km\/h in about 3.2 seconds and tops out at roughly 325 km\/h (202 mph).<\/p>\n

Meanwhile, the McLaren 750S<\/a> uses a mid-mounted 4.0-liter twin-turbo V8 delivering 740 hp and 800 Nm, benefiting from a significantly lighter carbon-fiber chassis. It rockets from 0\u2013100 km\/h in just 2.8 seconds, runs the quarter mile in 10.1 seconds, and reaches 332 km\/h (206 mph).<\/p>\n

Those advantages were obvious on the strip. In multiple standing-start runs, the McLaren surged ahead decisively, its superior power-to-weight ratio overcoming poor traction. Rolling races told the same story\u2014without wheelspin masking performance, the 750S simply walked away.<\/p>\n

By the quarter mile, what looked close on paper became clear in practice. The McLaren isn\u2019t just quicker\u2014it delivers near-hypercar performance, leaving the AMG as the underdog in a fight it couldn\u2019t win.<\/p>\n
