Did you ever wonder what would win in a drag race between high-powered hybrids? We go across the pond for a crash course in hybrid supercar supremacy with Matt from carwow at the helm. Relish in this contest of power and speed as three of Europe’s feistiest production cars take to the track for a series of standing drag races. First up is the new (2024) Lamborghini Revuelto with its 6.5-liter V12 gas burner and a trio of electric motors. Standing alone, the mid-mounted V12 engine is capable of producing 814hp. Three electric motors bump the maximum output up to Read More

The good news? There’s going to be a drag race between two of the most powerful hybrid production vehicles on the planet. The bad news? The Porsche 918 Spyder comes in at a price tag of approximately $1.5-million. The Ferrari SF90 is no bargain either with a sticker price of $480,000. Talk about blowing up the budget. Let’s have a closer look at these two expensive cars that will be competing in a standing drag race. Matt is in the all-wheel drive Porsche 918 Spyder. Powered by a naturally aspirated 4.6-liter V8 – combined with a pair of electric motors Read More

This race represents auto enthusiasts from both ends of the economic spectrum. The Porsche comes in with a price tag of about $1.5-million. On the other hand, the Acura is custom built from salvage parts and aftermarket performance goodies. Safe to say, it’s worth far less than the 918. The real question is, can the modified Acura keep up with the stock Porsche on the dragstrip? The all-wheel drive 918 Spyder features a mid-mounted naturally aspirated 4.6-liter V8 engine and a pair of electric motors. All combined, the Spyder can generate 887hp and 944 lb.-ft. of torque. The Porsche also Read More

Here we have a standing quarter-mile drag race between a pair of Porsches. These stunning examples of German engineering are all set to prove which is fastest in a contest of straight-line acceleration. The million-dollar hypercar remains stock but the 911 has been skillfully modified to improve performance. Shall we have a closer look? The all-wheel drive Porsche 918 Spyder comes with a mid-mounted naturally aspirated 4.6-liter V8 internal combustion engine and a pair of electric motors (one on the front axle and another on the rear axle). They combine to produce the equivalent of 887hp and 944 lb.-ft. of Read More

Like a scene from a science fiction film, today’s contest features some of the most outlandish vehicles ever produced. First is the McLaren P1. The P1 is all racing – all the time. At the heart of this savage beast is a 3.8-liter twin turbocharged gas burner with a lithium-ion battery powered electric motor. Output is estimated at 903hp and 664 lb.-ft. of torque. This rear-wheel drive hypercar uses a 7-speed dual-clutch transmission. Gross vehicle weight is 3,200-pounds and the price tag is about $1.1-million (U.S.). The Porsche 918 Spyder is all-wheel drive. Also a hypercar, the Spyder is powered Read More

Hello race fans and drag racing aficionados in particular. Meet Leo from Performance HQ. Leo has a problem of which any car enthusiast would be envious. He owns these two amazing exotic automobiles and he doesn’t know which one is fastest. Let’s take a look as he tries to find out. First of all, I know that the race is taking place at the San Antonio Raceway, but it has all the elements of a street race. Theirs is lots of good natured trash talking, some friendly wagering, and a general lack of traction out of the hole. The first Read More

This is definitely a drag race because one car gets dragged (to death) the length of the track. As one might expect, a contest between an all-wheel drive 887hp spacecraft and a 650hp rear-wheel drive sports car will easily be won by the spacecraft. Of course, the spacecraft in this scenario is the Porsche 918 Spyder, with its $1-million price tag, and the lesser sports car is the Corvette Z06 at roughly one-tenth the cost of the German monster. The Spyder (it’s more fun when you say it with a German accent) is truly an automotive work of art. It Read More

This clip brings us a drag race (to 200 mph) between a Porsche 918 Spyder, a Ferrari LaFerrari, and a McLaren P1. It is skillfully produced with pre-race car setup included. The sound of these three automotive masterpieces posturing at the starting line is enough to make your ears want to dance. The 918 manages to produce 874hp and 944 lb-ft. of torque and it’s riding on Michelin Pilot Sport Cup 2 tires. All that power comes from a 4.6-liter internal combustion V8 engine and a trio of lithium ion battery powered electric motors. The LaFerrari is equipped with a Read More

This video saga involves three vastly different exotic cars, on the same tires, on the same track, and with the same driver. No, it’s certainly not drag racing, but it is an extremely even test of some of today’s most outstanding automobiles. The cars are the Porsche 918 Spyder. It is a hybrid high-performance vehicle that features a mid-mounted, 90-degree V, 4.6-liter engine, with a flat plane crankshaft, and two-electric motors making 887hp and 944 lb-ft. of torque. That’s pretty impressive but the sticker price is downright shocking at a cool starting point of $847,975. The Dodge Viper ACR represents Read More

You gotta see what happens when a million-dollar Porsche 918 Spyder shows up at the Street Car Takeover in Atlanta, Georgia. Unlike most footage that you see of this elite supercar, this clip brings us some drag racing in addition to some roll racing. First up is a dig racing pass against a overmatched Camaro. The Porsche lays down a 10-second pass and he ain’t even got warmed-up yet. Next we find out that Ferdinand did not create all Porsches equally, as the 918 runs all over a 911 Turbo. There’s tons of great racing action and (for the record) Read More
