Almost twins

The Ferrari Pista and McLaren are natural rivals. Both feature twin-turbocharged V8 engines that displace just under four litres each. Power is then delivered to the rear wheels via dual-clutch transmissions in both cars. The quoted power output of both engines is an even 530 kW and an identical 770 N.m of torque. The cars could hardly be more identical if they were made by the same company.

Naturally aspirated

Lamborghini’s Aventador SV is the only naturally aspirated car of the trio. The 6,5-litre V12 powerplant develops a leading 552 kW, but less torque than its rivals with ‘just’ 690 N.m on tap. It counters with an all-wheel-drive system to put its power to the pavement.
