Porsche 911 Turbo S v SLEEPER Skoda Superb: DRAG RACE

We’ve got our hands on a Porsche 996 911 Turbo S and it’s going up against… A Skoda Superb?!

Think it sounds like an unfair match-up? Well, let’s take a closer look at the stats.

Starting with the Porsche, it’s powered by a 3.6-litre twin-turbo flat-six that produces 450hp and 620Nm of torque. Power is sent to all four wheels via a 5-speed automatic gearbox, and the car weighs 1,630kg. When new, the 911 Turbo cost around £101,000.

Then we come to the Skoda. Normally, its 2-litre 4-cylinder turbo produces 280hp and 350Nm of torque. However, this Superb has been tuned! As a result, it now puts down 477hp and 661Nm! Power is sent to all four wheels via a 7-speed dual-clutch, and it weighs slightly more than the Porsche, tipping the scales at 1,670kg.

So the Skoda has more power than the Porsche, but it’s slightly heavier! So can an all-new family-friendly Skoda really take down a Porsche? There’s only one way to find out for sure… LET’S RACE!

The video editor is a genius.
Putting Mat's scream at the finish line got me laughing like an idiot for a good 10 minutes.

No one is talking about the fact that the modern estate car weighs just 40kg more than a top of the range sports car from 2004.

I have to say the Skoda Suberb is looking very Suberb

There's a guy in The Netherlands who has RS3 swapped a Superb, which currently makes over 700 horsepower.

Big applause to Skoda(VW) and tuner for a tuned car doing 5 dragraces and rolling races without any issues power or transmission. That's a extremely rare thing when modified cars are part of the line up....

I'm so happy the Superb is getting so much rightful recognition for being an absolutely unparalleled deal

[nitishb]

Give sam a pair of black Avaitor shades, a black suit and an Audi A8. And you've got a Jason statham double on your channel.😂😂

People who buy this types of cars, sometimes I wonder where they work, because I've been a doctor for more than 8 years and I have still not gotten my dream car.

God the 996 is just looking better each year.

I have a 2016 Skoda Superb 280 4 x 4 with 360bhp. A Revo Stage 1 tune added 80bhp with no other mods. Plenty enough for me & it can really shift when needed, with or without an Ikea wardrobe in the back. Most practical car out there at a sensible price when bought as a used 2 year old car.

No wonder unmarked 👮 love the Skoda so much 😂

The intro for the non-british guys is like:
Wowuwin in a drag race between...

[huiputka]

We want more videos like this. Sick of crazy unattainable cars

[mrpurple]

When a Skoda looks better than most BMWs Mercedes's and Audi's lol

[kaygizmo]

Rory's impression of Matt was spot on 😂

[lynchygt]

The manual 996 turbo’s don’t have a soft limiter and are a damn sight quicker off the line. The tiptronic will also try to set off in 2nd as default, clicking the button down to first after pulling up or putting it in drive will have it ready in first and help off the line, they have to realise you’re going for it and quickly drop to first otherwise. Wonderful things.

[VeryCuriousGuy]

Love how the Superb changes looks every few years, sometimes looks like a wagon or sometimes like a sedan

[Rose.Of.Hizaki]

Matt 2.0 needs to be a thing on this channel. Great energy and presentation from that guy.

[EthelJung-jw]

Mat stop getting the crap tiptronic gearbox when you have the 996 Turbo on your channel. It completely ruins the car. You literally know this since you own a 996 Carrera.

Looks like the difference between a gearbox geared for performance and one geared to go to Tesco
