In a world first, the team at Supercar Blondie was able to get its hands on a Lockheed C-5 Super Galaxy and race it against a McLaren 765LT.
The military transport aircraft was lined up for a touch-and-go runway maneuver – but could it outpace the supercar on the runway?
The enormous size of what has been dubbed the world’s biggest military plane was a stark contrast to the McLaren’s speed and agility.
However, with the supercar owning its superlative as one of the world’s fastest road cars, it could easily outpace the massive cargo plane – and you can watch the video in full here.
