911 GT3 RS v Lambo V12 vs Tesla Beetle: DRAG RACE

Check out this incredible line-up!

We’ve got Mat in a Lamborghini Aventador SV, Tomi in a Porsche 911 GT3 RS, and they’re facing off against… a VW Beetle?!

But wait! This is no ordinary Beetle. This is Electric Classic Cars’s Bug Zappa! And it might be one of the craziest EVs we’ve ever had on this channel.

So let’s check out the stats. Starting with the Lambo, it’s powered by a 6.5-litre naturally-aspirated V12 that can deliver 750hp and 690Nm of torque. This power is sent to all four wheels via a 7-speed gearbox, and the car tips the scales at around 1,775kg. When new, the Lambo cost around £238,000.

The Porsche is powered by a 4-litre naturally aspirated flat-six that can produce 525hp and 465Nm. This power is sent to the rear wheels only via a 7-speed dual-clutch gearbox, and it weighs just 1,450kg. With the Weissach Pack added, the car cost around £230,000.

Finally, we come to the Bug Zappa! It’s shaped like a classic VW Beetle, but it’s powered by two Tesla motors and produces 800hp and 930Nm. There’s a motor on each axle, so it has four-wheel drive. It’s the lightest car here, coming in at 1,300kg. All in, the car cost around £75,000.

So will it be an easy win for the all-electric Beetle? Or could the Lambo or Porsche snatch it? There’s only one way to find out… LET’S RACE!

Incredible drag race! The Tesla Beetle absolutely stole the show – that acceleration was mind-blowing. It’s awesome to see such a unique lineup going head-to-head. Great vide

[ElectricClassicCars]

That was a lot of fun. Next time I’ll bring stickier tyres as my launches in BugZappa were pants. 😂👍

The look of fear on Mat's face in the Beetle was the best thing!

I have never commented on either video of this channel. This would be my first comment just for the person who bought the beetle. I must say that he definitely have put effort in that project, and the project tells about the amount of effort put in itself. But the best thing I loved about the person was that either he was winning, or he was losing his expression was the same, and I can completely understand that he is the person who prefers to enjoy the journey rather than being the part of the ratrace. I bet irrespective of he be winning or losing today, His love will never vary on basis of circumstances or outcomes.
