Audi R8 Plus vs Ferrari 488 GTB vs McLaren 570S

The Audi R8 Plus is an exploration into the insane as the supercar has been fitted with an engine directly out of the new Lamborghini Huracan LP610-4. The Audi R8 Plus is a naturally aspirated AWD exotic designed to rage war with newest production vehicles from Ferrari and McLaren. CARmagazine TV recently put the Audi R8 Plus to the test against the Ferrari 488 GTB and the McLaren 570S across some very twisty European country roads.

EXOTIC CARS

When considering all of the supercar matchups that exist, this remains one of the most interesting head-to-head competitions to take place in recent memory. The Ferrari 488 GTB is the newest flagship vehicle from Maranello and remains true to form with a powerful 661 hp engine that cranks out 561 lb-ft of torque. The twin-turbo 3.9-liter V-8 delivers a 0-60 mph time of 3.0 seconds flat! The newest production vehicle from McLaren is equipped with a twin-turbo 3.8-liter V-8 that delivers 562 hp and 443 lb-ft of torque. The McLaren 570S includes a sequential seven-speed gearbox that enables the supercar with the ability to lay down 0-60 mph in 2.9 seconds with a top speed of 204 mph. With such a large percentage of the exotic car industry choosing to drop naturally aspirated engines in exchange for the fuel-sipping benefits of a twin-turbo charger, the Audi R8 Plus proves that the powerful and reliable V-10 engine of the Lamborghini Huracan can holds its own.
