It's the drag race you never knew you wanted to see. A member of the holy trinity - the McLaren P1 drag racing the race car version of itself, the P1 GTR. The P1 then goes up against the Hyundai Ioniq 5 N to see how these two hypercars compare to a road car!

The P1 wasn't run in the right mode... or was broken. The 100-200km/h for that car should be <4.5s, while you got 7s!

[morenamcguy]

The P1 for me is the epitome of hyper cars... love it.

[projectr]

100-200km/h of 7.04 seconds for the P1, finishing the 1/4 mile at 205km/h (127mph).

100-200km/h of 4.31 seconds for the P1 GTR, finishing the 1/4 mile at 240km/h (149mph).

Looking at the stats, it does show there could’ve been an issue with the P1. Yes the P1 GTR should be quicker but that was bus lengths.

The difference in trap speeds is also quite huge, one of 22mph (35km/h). I’d expect (estimated guess) a difference of about 7-12mph max in the 1/4 mile. Still though, awesome to watch?

The transition to in the studio talking about how Alborz won the first time was golden😂

[gureno]

Alborz won because he let the car shift itself.

Paul was paddle shifting it manually which is always going to be slower Vs letting the car row its own gears.

[projectr]

Never clicked on a video so fast! I know people say this all the time but the LaFerrari and P1, and their track versions, are just some of my dream cars. All high on the list. And I’ve always wanted to see a race between them. Awesome video!

[sidthiru]

You guys be racing that Hyundai against everything man 😂. I ain't complaining tho

[MDKN]

Man, never thought I'd see my cheaper dream car keeping up with my rich dream car... both are such incredible cars.

[ezy.from.now.on.]

Watching the Hyundai at the end take off from in the cabin is literally my favourite sensation, just the silentness butt seeing it fly like a rocket omg.

[moontides]

when you see these other channels like this, you really gotta appreciate how good carwow is

[annettemay]

I would like to Thank Albo, for showing us so many exoctic cars that most would never see in there life. Cheers mate. And hats off to the Hyundai Ioniq 5N.

[Poison_narcotic]

The P1s v8 is unmatched in with the sound it’ll forever be goated like the LFA is with it’s magnificent V10

[nathansmith]

Paul is just jealous of Alborz's catlike reflexes. Like a tiger!👍

[-PORK-CHOP-]

It's always funny to see the hero's think they can change gears better than the car and they always lose looking at you Paul 😂, nobody knows how to accelerate through the gears quicker than the car, let it do it's thing as Alborz did and look what happened.

[TheTonytone]

i love how ppl think every car should be running their <est> times in drag race like they on a prepped track with everything perfect

[A]

Think the next one should be a circuit as drag racing just doesn’t mean much😊 and the circuit will show the incredible shortcomings of each car❤

[juanf_]

The start of the first race was perfect 💪🏻

[paulpak]

Never miss a hypercar drag race, I absolutely love this series! What’s next? An F1 car? 😂

[augustinetugume]

Maybe let the p1 shift gears on its own

[Biter]

In every practical situation on the road the hatchback is going to win. A sad day for motoring journalists 😅
