You may be expecting to see brands such as BMW, Audi and Mercedes, but interestingly, they don't make the cut...

A quarter mile drag race between the new Porsche 911 Turbo S and a McLaren 720S has been conducted by carwow.com, with the results demonstrating the data as it appears on paper – or in the brochure – can be deceiving.
