The new Honda NSX hybrid faces our current pick of the sports car bunch, the McLaren 570S. Which wins? Subscribe now: http://smarturl.it/autocar

The McLaren 570S is Autocar’s favourite sports car – its five star rating emphasises just how much we like it. But now the Honda NSX is here, Woking’s class-leading sports car has a new challenger to beat.

The NSX uses a mid-mounted 3.5-litre V6 engine with additional thrust from three electric motors. Peak power output is 573bhp, which beats the McLaren’s 562bhp, but the Honda will have to possess more than additional grunt to beat the sublime McLaren package.

We take both cars out onto the open road to find out which is best.
