GR Supra v Porsche Cayman GTS v Alpine A110 S: DRAG RACE

It’s time for an almighty rear-wheel-drive drag race!

Mat’s rolled up to the start line a Porsche Cayman GTS, and he’s going head-to-head with an Alpine A110 S & a Toyota Supra!

So let’s see how they compare. Starting with Mat’s Cayman GTS, it’s powered by a 4-litre naturally-aspirated flat-six that puts down 400hp & 420Nm. It weighs in at 1,405kg and will cost you around £65,000. It’s got one big issue though - it’s a manual!

Alongside him, we have the Alpine A110 S. Under the bonnet you’ll find a 1.8-litre turbocharged petrol engine, although it’s noticeably down on power compared to the Porsche, putting down 290hp & 320Nm. However, it’s an automatic, and it’s oh-so light, tipping the scales at just 1,114kg!

Then finally we have the Supra. With a 3-litre straight-six BMW engine under the bonnet, it’ll produce 340hp & 500Nm, and just like the Alpine, it’s automatic. It’s the heaviest car here, though, weighing 1,495kg.

So what do you think - will the BMW engine push the Supra to victory? There’s only one way to find out - LET’S RACE!

Something about the alpine that I absolutely love. Especially in a bright colour.

The lightness of the Alpine should make it epic on a twisty track.

[chrisdooley]

I’m pleasantly surprised how quick the Alpine is. The S model really makes up for lower horsepower base model. Gorgeous design and so lite!

[zyneeee]

That yellow Alpine though, it looks so good 😍

The Alpine is amazing, tiny, and it's so light any tuning you do to it you gain big time. Would love to have one, it's basically guaranteed classic status too. Mental to think the Porsche has over 100 horsepower more and doesn't exactly fly away from it. You could probably add 20 horsepower to the Alpine and it would make up the difference!

The 300kg difference for the Alpine make a huge difference in a track or twisty mountain road. It all depends on the use and the landscape.

Those cars and those colours, so awsome. Love it

[bonzobonanza]

The Alpine A110 is one of the most underrated sports cars ever

[greko]

Well done Renault for making such an agile car with a pretty much small displacement. It competed really well against those sport cars

Matt : you let germany down aswell
Also matt : won in a german car

[intellect]

never seen an alpine before; looks, sounds and drives great

[nick_kilgore]

The cayman’s gearing is so tall it truly should have been in a lower gear than the other cars or just had a race with optimal sportiest settings. The manual in that car will do over 70 in second gear meaning that 3rd at 50 is a major disadvantage. Regardless, great video as always!

RACE IDEA: 3 exact same cars but different types of petrol: Super Plus, Super and E10 to see if there is a difference in power

[Itsmejwalton]

I’d love to see a race between this 4.0 cayman and the 2.5 cayman. Im surprised no ones done it before lol

[tameracingdriver]

I really enjoyed this one. The Alpine did well for a 1.8, often had the jump on the Porsche, before the Caymans raw power shone through. The Supra has some seriously impressive midrange torque. The Porsche though, once it gets into it's stride is a missile, but just like my Boxster S it seems to need to be worked hard for the power. Porsche brakes are also phenomenal. The Alpines attempts at drifting were hilarious.

Pretty decent sound for the smallest engine. Didn´t expect that! Love the sound of the 4.0 too. And the revs man, the revs....

[PutSomeDsonThatBlink]

May not always be the fastest, but to go for a fun drive I’d take the Alpine every time

[dakshpagar]

Nice to see the alpine giving competition to other big boys with more 100, 60 hp and 2 cylinders 👍

[hame]

That yellow alpine is really looking awesome and it sounds alright like you've mentioned 🔥🔥

[nathanb]

I would pick the Alpine, as it shows you don't need loads of power and weight to have fun :). Also, could you make a video talking about Aston Martin's plans for a new V12 Vantage? :D
