Carwow: Lamborghini Aventador S Roadster vs McLaren 720S Spider

One of the better carwow drag races. Even with AWD advantage the lambo is slower

Gimme the Lamborghini still please, good grief it's beautiful.

Smoked the 720 off the dig too, I'd take that over a nose at the top.

AWD actually is not an advantage after launching the car..

True that.

But most people judge a car on how fast it can go from a stoplight, so that's like 98% of being "fast" for most people.

True the 720 won't start gaining before the next stoplight. Maybe on a highway with a long enough stretch of road with no traffic and the 720s driver knows what he's doing.

McLaren has built some great all around cars with exceptional performance that's for sure. I'd still take the Lambo for looks from the inside and out.

I'd assume the McLaren would run circles around it on the track

The McLaren will beat the Lambo in depreciation. Hands down.

Neither of these is a Ferrari, so it's all second fiddle anyway.





Just kidding, well sort of. I wouldn't turn either of these cars down, but of course, I cannot afford either of them so it doesn't really matter what I think.
