Clash Of Six-Cylinder Titans: Porsche 911 GT1 Street Vs. Ferrari F80
The Porsche 911 GT1 comes from a different era before complex hybrid powertrains. Find out how it compares to Ferrari's latest, hybrid flagship, the F80
Porsche and Ferrari are some of the most renowned names when it comes to high-performance sports cars and supercars. Both companies have decades of experience and boast a proud heritage. The two carmakers are also very successful in motorsports and much of what they have learned on the track has nicely transitioned to their road-going sports cars. Ferrari and Porsche have very different approaches when it comes to making a high-performance car. The 911 is Porsche’s pride, despite there, occasionally, being more potent models.

This comparison shouldn’t make any sense, but here’s how a race-bred Porsche 911 GT1 measures up against the technologically advanced Ferrari F80 hybrid supercar.
