When two hypercars take to the track to stretch their legs, it\u2019s time to put down everything and strap in for the ride.<\/p>\n
Today, it\u2019s the McLaren P1 GTR and the Ferrari FXX K, which arrived at Monza for a few hot laps.<\/p>\n
The video shows the two hypercars during different sessions, so it\u2019s not an actual battle, but it\u2019s incredible to see the two machines blitz around the circuit at lightning speeds. And if it were perpetually 2004, the sounds coming from these cars would definitely be our cell phone\u2019s custom ringtone. The piercing sound of the FXX K\u2019s naturally aspirated 6.3-liter V-12 and the P1 GTR\u2019s twin-turbocharged V-8 make for a wonderful soundtrack of hypercar symphonies.<\/p>\n
How much power is being pushed around the track? 2,021 horsepower in total. McLaren managed to extract 968 hp from its hybrid powertrain and Ferrari has tuned the LaFerrari\u2019s hybrid setup for pure performance in the FXX K, which makes 1,035 hp. Ferrari\u2019s \u201cXX\u201d moniker has long denoted its \u201cexperimental\u201d cars, but the FXX K is simply a mad experiment. That\u2019s not to say the P1 GTR is a lame duck, though. Anything car worth millions and delivering close to 1,000 hp isn\u2019t lame in our book.<\/p>\n
While we don\u2019t get to see which of these cars actually comes out on top, it\u2019s still a sight to see.<\/p>\n
