Off-road Lambo v Off-road Porsche: DRAG RACE

It’s time for two incredible off-roading supercars to go head-to-head… On tarmac?!

We’ve finally got our hands on the Lamborghini Huracan Sterrato, and it’s lining up for a drag race against the Porsche 911 Dakar!

So let’s see how these two compare. Starting with the Lambo, it’s based on the original Huracan, so it comes equipped with the same 5.2-litre naturally-aspirated V10, which in this instance can produce 610hp and 560Nm. Power is sent to all four wheels via a 7-speed automatic gearbox, and it tips the scales at 1,470kg (however, this is the dry weight - we think the real weight is closer to 1,600kg!).

But of course, being an off-roading supercar, there are a few more changes over the normal Huracan! It also comes with a load of body cladding, off-roading tyres, as well as lifted suspension.

Next up we have the Porsche. It’s powered by a 3-litre twin-turbo flat-six which can put down 480hp and 570Nm. Power is sent to all four wheels via an 8-speed PDK gearbox, and it weighs in at 1,605kg. Just like the Lambo, it’s also fitted with proper off-roading tyres.

So the Lambo has more power, but will that be enough to beat Porsche’s incredible launch control system? There’s only one way to find out for sure… LET’S RACE!

Lambo v Porsche... Which of these off-road supercars are you choosing?

[ml]

It's crazy that Lamborghini & Porsche are making off road versions of their super cars & more track focused versions of their SUVs.

I somehow really love the nostalgic looks of the 911 Dakar!

[labibmanzar]

Off road challenges between these two would be great! Hope thats coming soon.

I think the sterato's front massive led lights are pretty cool ...gives it more of a "ready for anything" off-road feel. And in its defence u can actually choose to not have them while customising the car at the site for purchase

[rohitanan]

We need an off-road comparison between these two.
Btw awesome video as always!!

i would love to see them drag race on dirt. It seems so unnatural but fun. Sam is really growing on me. The only proper fill-in for yanni, if thats possible haha

[Ben-igbf]

WOW, Whatever magic he did with that porsche, it sure was amazing

[baileymarks-edoh]

I’ve been waiting for this one !
Matt-Carwow always comes through with the good ones ! 🙌🏽

[LightningMcqueenFan-vfhh]

Now that we’ve got the drag race, we need an off-road test with these

[porscheguy]

I love that you guys do stuff like this. Always looking forward to seeing what you put up in a head to head old fashioned drag race.

[africar]

Sam is such a wise and experienced driver.

[deaks]

In terms of looks, the Porsche for me; that Rothman's style paint scheme looks fabulous, and fair play to Racing Driver Sam, he did a great job of helping the Porsche bridge the power gap to the Lambo. CarWow's Tame Racing Driver did good.

[KingdomAuto]

What an unreal launch for the Porsche on that second race 😳👏

[rudolfvanderven]

Another bang-on video. Mat and Sam, a N/A V10, Sam's epic second launch with the Dakar... Top content as always.

[loginnamejon]

The sound of that Lambo is absolutely unmatched here.
