ABB FIA Formula E race car vs Qatar Airways’ Airbus A350 and Boeing 787 Dreamliner. Who will win?

We put our most modern aircraft, the #Airbus A350 and #Boeing 787 Dreamliner, up against one of the fastest, most modern cars in the world, the ABB FIA Formula E Spark SRT-01E. Using our home and hub Hamad International Airport as the venue, we closed a runway and pitted Formula E car and renowned racing driver Jerome D’Ambrosio in a man-and-machine race like no other.

Matched up against an Airbus A350 taking off, can the Formula E car keep the lead before the plane leaves the ground? And then on the return leg, how did the Formula E car fare against a landing Boeing 787 Dreamliner? Can a car outrun two planes?

Start your engine, ready, set, GO! Watch now and find out.

How to win a race:
Let your opponent deploy thrust reversers

It shouldn't be called a race if it's -breaking- braking.

[johnnyf]

why do people keep doing this when we already know who's going to win?

[ethan]

0:38 is no one seriously gonna talk about that perfect landing?

[JS-hxkj]

Why not make a 787 vs 350 race ?? It will epic

[adventurouslawbee]

It's like a kid trying to race with his 3 wheel cycle from a royal Enfield bullet

[whoiskllz]

Speedbrakes + reversers = perfect recipe to win a race

[trincolio]

The car sounds like one of those little kid cars lol

First off what's the point of racing a decelerating plane, and secondly did u guys stop all airfield operations at ur main Hub for a damn race?!

[ItsJustMeMusic]

99% of the comments: the dreamliner was slowing down!
1%: didn’t comment.

[airplanewhat]

But the 787 was landing so going slower, is normal the car has won.

[hampusmurling]

bruh, this ain’t even a challange, bring in an F1 car instead

I was confused between buying a ABB Formula Car and Boeing 787.This video cleared my mind.I shall rather use my bicycle.

[aashishjain]

Wait a second were they comparing the A350 with the Formula E car or A350 vs B787?😂

[gibishaju]

I always wanted to be a pilot after seeing this video I just got a jump start over my butt. To get along with the dreams and drive to my passion !!!

[o.g.dominus]

Thanks for clearing my doubt, I was confused about which one of these two to buy. I'll just buy a scooter

Even at such hard times Qatar Airways surely knows how to outperform it's competitors . KUDOS to Qatar Airways
