the simple answer is no. the escudo pp is built for racing at pikes peak, 4000 meters above sea level (approx. 12000ft), where the air density is much lower than at sea level. at sea level, the enormous drag created by the oversized wings would make it hopelessly slow in a straight line, even with the claimed 950bhp. as opposed to what some people (i.e. idiots) think, wings and spoilers do not make the car faster. one other thing is thet the gearbox of the escudo pp is custom built, and has a low final drive ratio which probably can't be altered much without the complete gearbox being redesigned.

I agree....the Escudo PP could beat the McLaren only at what it was built for.....Pikes Peak. The McLaren is far civilized to play in the mud anyway.
