After spending a few weeks away doing all sorts of cool motorsport stuff, Chris Harris is back doing what he does best: comparing supercars on road and track. The subject of the test this time is the new Porsche 911 (991) Turbo S. To put the car’s capabilities in perspective, Chris pits it against a McLaren 12C.

So, Porsche 991 Turbo S vs McLaren 12C on the race track, on the road, and in a drag race. Here’s what happened:

Porsche 991 Turbo S Specs: bi-turbo flat-six 3.8 liter engine; 560 horsepower and 516 lb-ft of torque; 7-speed Porsche Doppelkupplung (PDK); all-wheel-drive; 0 to 60 in 2.9 s; top speed 197 mph.

McLaren 12C Specs: twin-turbo 3.8 liter V8 engine; 625 horsepower and 443 lb-ft of torque; 7-speed McLaren dual-clutch transmission; rear-wheel-drive; 0 to 60 in 3.3 seconds, top speed 207 mph.
