Does America’s sports car finally have what it takes to be considered America’s supercar? We pit it against two of the latest and greatest to find out.
—and spent a week flogging them in our initiation trials. And let us state right here at the top that these cars enjoy parity on performance—not price, as the cost difference between each is roughly the price of this Corvette.The Corvette Stingray and Z51 are dynamically brilliant, but their pushrod muscle car engine precludes them from supercar consideration.
Lamborghini's high-strung 5.2-liter V-10 produces almost precisely as many horses per liter as the Corvette but fewer lb-ft, so it feels noticeably less torquey. But oh, what a joyful noise those 631 horses and 417 lb-ft make! Extremely exotic and far more mellifluous than most production 10-bangers—think Lexus LFA as opposed to SRT Viper V-10. And it makes a lot of it.
McLaren's wee 4.0-liter V-8 leans on two twin-scroll turbos to deliver 56 percent more horsepower and 80 percent more torque per liter than the two naturally aspirated engines can manage. And as the current top-dog offering in McLaren's mid-tier"supercar" lineup, it produces a whopping 755 horses' worth of right-now power and 590 lb-ft torque.
