Not that many of us are faced with the choice of which of the latest supercars they’d like to buy, but still…

Even if it’s an irrelevant decision for most, seeing them get thrashed head to head in comparative videos is still somehow a worthwhile way to pass some time – here’s Steve Sutcliffe driving the Porsche 911 GT3, Ferrari 458 Speciale and McLaren 650S head to head on track.

This is a classic Autocar comparison, and it’s one where the clear underdog, the cheaper and less powerful Porsche, impresses the most, even though the Ferrari ended up being the overall winner.

The McLaren puts down the second fastest lap time, but it’s let down by a slight tendency to undesteer and poorer brakes than those of either test rivals. It is obviously the fastest in a straight line, but it’s still slower than the Ferrari overall.
