Which Is Faster The More Powerful Audi R8 or The Less Powerful McLaren 570S?

Post apartheid South Africa is still a divided nation and this is no more demonstrated by this video review of the McLaren 570S vs the Audi R8 V10. The Anglo-Saxon minority of South Africa still has the superiority bragging rights because only they seem capable of reviewing a car. Any car. So we are led to believe. Where is the so called ‘rainbow nation’ where is the diversity Archbishop Desmond Tutu talked about?… EH? It isn’t evident here. This article is not inspired by Robert Mugabee, Donald J Trump or a ultra-separatist movement to drive the Anglo Saxons out of South Africa. This article has gone off topic for the sake of filling column space. So let’s get back to the subject, the Audi R8 V10 vs the McLaren 570S at South Africa’s Killarney Racetrack. The Audi R8 is the more powerful with 610bhp vs the V8 twin turb0 and 562bhp of the 570S. But the McLaren is lighter so should make up for the power deficit right? Wrong, a head to head quarter mile drag race finds that the Audi R8 Quattro has the McLaren beaten. However on warmer tyres the McLaren beats the R8 when the test is re-run. We’re confused. Watch what happens in the head to head track race in the video below.
