Porsche 918 Spyder v 911 Turbo S: DRAG RACE

.............................................................

This might just be the best Porsche drag race line-up of all time!

We’ve got Mat lining up in his Porsche 911 Turbo S, and he’s about to go head-to-head against one of the most expensive Porsches around - the 918 Spyder!

Naturally, the stats on both of these cars are absolutely insane! Starting with the 911 Turbo, it’s powered by a 3.8-litre twin-turbo flat-six which is good for 650hp and 800Nm of torque. It tips the scales at 1,640kg, and if you’re looking to pick one up, it’ll cost you around £169,000.

But trust us, that’s nothing compared to the 918 Spyder. If you’re looking to buy one of those now it’ll set you back at least £1,300,000! But that’s not all, it’s also up on power compared to the Turbo S! Its 4.6-litre naturally-aspirated V8 also comes with two electric motors, which combine to put down 887hp and 1,280Nm! It is slightly heavier though, weighing in at 1,675kg.

So how will this one play out - an easy win for the 918 Spyder? Or could the Turbo S snatch it? There’s only one way to find out - LET’S RACE!

Awesome. A suggestion for the quarter mile recap: in addition to the time, i think it will be interesting to see the final speed too! Cheers Mat!

[gravely]

Mat jumps the start 7/10 times and then says "I had him off the line" or something like it.

Classic Mat

That 918 Spyder is pure definition of carporn. What a masterpiece.

[andreassilver]

The 918 is honestly one of the best cars ever made it's so timeless, it still looks incredible almost 10 years on.

[Noidktbh]

Insane the 918 still holds up looking brand new almost 10 years later! The trilogy sure holds up great

[EraserNinja]

The 911 is truly a one of its kind car. Also cheers to the 918 for being a decade old and still having the upper hand

[blakec]

That 918 still looks absolutely gorgeous to this day 😍.

[ethenrawlingstaylor]

This just shows how brilliant the 911 truly is but the 918 is still a true Masterpiece!

[noflippingwayman]

Every drag race should have a standard car golf GTi or something so you can see the real speed of these cars

[martinortiz]

Long live to the 918. Love how it sounds. That V8 NA screaming at 9000 rpm is pure joy for me.

[Dioums]

The 918 Spyder is a timeless masterpiece

[baloglajos]

The new camera angles between the cars flying past is amazing !!!
More of that pls

[joe]

7:28 that timing was so perfect, the 918 came in so elegantly

[matthorzen]

Matt actually jumped the start the first 3 races🤣 gotta love it tho and a chase is a race never forget. Great video love to see it

[Yarmox]

Its hard to believe the 918 is “aged”. To me it still is the most genuinely futuristic looking car ever made

[dimosk]

7:15 Tony is spot on: "this really puts into perspective how fast a 992 turbo S is"

[McMcTear]

Was never the huge 918 fan, always preferred the LAF and P1 but its incredible how good the 918 looks for a nearly 10 year old car. Still looks fresh now.

[khashayaraz]

10 year old 918 still doing amazing. And the 992 putting up a fight against hypercars. Porsche knows their stuff

[BoostAndRedline]

3:40 Matt definitely jumped that one 😂😂
