McLaren Speedtail Races An F-35 Lightning II

Jet vs. Supercar

What happens when a $2 million McLaren Speedtail with 1,036 horsepower and a top speed of 250 mph goes up against an F-35 fighter jet? Predictably, the jet takes the crown.

The Speedtail initially pulled ahead, showcasing its blistering acceleration, but the F-35 soon surged past, securing an easy victory. The outcome? Impressive for both, but unsurprising.

This isn’t the first time a race like this has captivated audiences. Back in 2007, Top Gear’s Richard Hammond raced a Bugatti Veyron against an RAF Eurofighter Typhoon. As expected, the Typhoon outpaced the supercar in dramatic fashion.

These battles of speed highlight the stark difference between ground and aerial engineering marvels. The thrill, however, remains unmatched
