1064HP ZR1 CORVETTE vs. McLAREN 720S (750S) | Roll Race, at Race Motive Pocono
THE RACE WE’VE BEEN WAITING FOR!
The undisputed King of the Hill is back, and this time, it’s packing four-digit horsepower. We pitted the brand-new, 2025 Chevrolet Corvette ZR1 (C8) against a formidable European hypercar—the track-slaying McLaren 720S (representing the latest generation).
This is a true test of American brute force and forced induction supremacy versus lightweight carbon construction and refined dual-clutch transmission engagement. The ZR1 has an overwhelming advantage, but the McLaren is hundreds of pounds lighter and boasts world-class active aerodynamics.
The Format:

The roll start eliminates the ZR1's traction challenges and makes this a pure power-and-aero race. Over the short distance, can the lightweight McLaren hang on to the missile, or is the new ZR1 simply operating in a different performance dimension?
