McLaren Senna Takes on 1,200HP Lexus RC F Drift Car in a Drag Racing Showdown

When you think of the McLaren Senna, hypercar usually comes to mind, especially with its twin-turbocharged 4.0L V8 engine making 789 hp and 590 lb-ft of torque, enabling it to hit 62 mph in a mere 2.8-seconds. A Lexus RC F isn’t something you’d typically expect to line up against the Senna in a drag race, but that’s exactly what happened here.

This Lexus RC F was heavily modified, starting with a 3.0L 2JZ engine generating 1,200 hp and 738 lb-ft of torque, which immediately puts it in hypercar territory. It’s only 90-pounds heavier than the McLaren Senna, so there really isn’t much weighing the drift car down either. Let’s just say that the drift car requires much more skill to navigate, even in a straight line.
