Ferrari 296 v McLaren 750S v Huracan Perf v 911 Turbo: DRAG RACE

WHAT A LINE-UP!

We’ve finally got our hands on the McLaren 750 S, and it’s facing off against a bunch of incredible supercars - the Ferrari 296 GTB, Lamborghini Huracan Performante, and Porsche 911 Turbo S!

So let’s see how these magnificent machines compare. Starting with the McLaren, it’s powered by a 4-litre twin-turbo V8. This delivers 750hp and 800Nm to the rear wheels via a 7-speed dual-clutch automatic gearbox, and it weighs in at just 1,389kg.

Alongside it, we have the Ferrari. It’s packing a 3-litre twin-turbo V6 along with an electric motor, and these combine to put down 830hp and 740Nm of torque. This is sent to the rear wheels via an 8-speed dual-clutch gearbox, and it tips the scales at 1,470kg.

Next up it’s the Lambo, which houses a huge 5.2-litre naturally-aspirated V10 that produces 640hp and 600Nm. Power is delivered to the rear wheels through a 7-speed dual-clutch gearbox, and it’s the lightest car here, weighing in at 1,382kg.

Then finally we have the Porsche. It’s powered by a 3.8-litre twin-turbo flat-six that puts down 650hp and 800Nm. This power is sent to all four wheels via a 7-speed dual-clutch gearbox, and it’s the heaviest car here, coming in at 1,640kg.

So will the ever-reliable Porsche snatch another win? Or could another contender grab it? There’s only one way to find out… LET’S RACE!

Thanks to everyone who lent us cars for this race:

This is a classic Carwow-dragrace vibe

The turbo in the Ferrari is not the 2.9-liter V6 that Ferrari developed for the Quadrifoglio models from Alfa Romeo, among others. It has a different bank angle (120 instead of 90 degrees) and a larger bore (88 instead of 86.5 millimetres), which increases the displacement from 2, 891 to 2, 992 cubic centimetres.

That 296 reeling in that 750S each race…296 is crazy fast.

[TMJ]

That 296 is unreal. That's their "baby" Ferrari.

[Ricardoj]

This is the drag race experience I've been looking for. Capturing the essence with subtle details and engaging commentary.

[murtiigulgen]

Porsche’s performance for its price is insane it always amazes me

[nicovandyk]

Would LOVE to see a Ferrari generations test: 348 vs 355 vs 360 vs 430 vs 458 vs 488 vs F8 vs 296. And thanks for the videos! Love them and the entire crew!

[gonzaloesparrach]

Wow. That Ferrari is one hell of a Rocket.

[Aventador]

Seeing a clear supercar drag race after a while 😌

[lucasgconrado]

What Ferrari did to the 296 is lovely! It's the "entry/mid" level Ferrari, hybrid, but keeps a nice sound, fast asf, amazing!

[riprin]

The fact that the 296 is ferraris "mid-level entry car" is ridiculous😂

[theironsmith]

That Ferrari 296 GTB is such an engineering marvel

If this "mid entry level" Ferrari is this fast, then how much lethal will the 812 Replacement be?

[yeteryeter]

Apart from the exhaust, when you sit into one the sound coming from induction and turbos of 296 in stock exhaust is just mindblowing for a v6.

[suhails]

One of the best drag race videos ever 😂😂 Sam and Mat together is hella funny

[Sebas_M_Kinoman]

Ferrari finally made a subtle killer beast with that "mid entry level" 296gtb, wonderful car in every aspect, for the people talking about "porsche would do better in track" well it seems people forgot that Ferrari won the 24h of Nürburgring last year with the 296gt3 and also won LeMans with a variant of that same engine, apparently Ferrari achieved to make a great and reliable V6 engine that still sounds good and it's mad fast...

[TerunaKishi]

Grabbed my 296 from Mccfrx for $225k. What a steal!

[rapide]

The way that 296 reeled that Turbo S is absolutely brutal.
