Rimac Nevera and Lamborghini Huracan in a drag race

Rimac Nevera recently set the fastest time on the Nürburgring Nordschleife (7:05:928), in the category of production electric cars.

Rimac Nevera is powered by four electric motors with a total power of 1,914 hp (1,408 kW) and 1,741 lb-ft (2,360 Nm) of torque which is enough to push the car to 62 mph in just 1.81 seconds with the title of EV with the highest verified top speed of 256 (412 km/h). It is equipped with a lithium-manganese-nickel battery with 6,960 cells and a capacity of 120kWh.

The Lamborghini Huracan is a project of British tuner company JM Imports, powered by an improved 5.2-liter naturally-aspirated V10 engine with 1,800 hp (1,324 kW) and 1,106 lb-ft (1,500 Nm) of torque. The car has a fully built engine, fully built gearbox, fuel system, drive shafts, clutches, differential, turbos, etc.

In the first 1/4 mile race, Nevera had a better start and finish, crossing the finish line first. In the second attempt, the Huracan had a better start, but the Nevera was still faster. And the third attempt was also unsuccessful for the Lamborghini Huracan. A good start, but the time of 8.7 seconds was insufficient. Rimac nevera covered the 1/4 mile in 8.5 seconds.

In the 1/2 mile race at 30 mph, the Lamborghini held on well for most of the race but still not enough to cross the finish line first. In the race at 50 mph, Nevera was much faster. In the brake test at 100mph, the Huracan finally did better.

Although we expected better results from the Lamborghini Huracan, the Rimac Nevera showed why it is one of the fastest cars in the world.

Koenigsegg Agera RST, Tesla Model S Plaid and Suzuki Hayabusa in a drag race

Every car manufacturer will say that their car is one of the fastest and best, but how true is that? If we want to get an answer, one way is to compare them in a drag race. That’s what the guys from YouTube channel Carwow have done, putting two supercars and a motorcycle on the line. Koenigsegg Agera RST, Tesla Model S Plaid and Suzuki Hayabusa in a drag race.

Koenigsegg Agera RST is powered by a 5.0-L twin-turbo V8 engine with 1,360 hp (1,000 kW) and 1,158 lb-ft (1,570 Nm) of torque. Power is sent to the rear wheels via a 7-speed dual-clutch gearbox with launch control. This 1,395 kg supercar is capable of developing a top speed of 277 mph (446 km/h), and its estimated value is £3.5 million (UK).

The Suzuki Hayabusa is powered by a 1.3L 4-cylinder engine with 380 hp (279 kW) and 207 lb-ft (280 Nm) of torque. The owner has fitted this 257 kg bike with a supercharger, and its estimated value is £50,000.

Tesla Model S Plaid is powered by three electric motors with a total power of 1,020 hp (750 kW) and 1,047 lb-ft (1,420 Nm) of torque, with a range of 396 miles. This 2,190 kg heavy car reaches 60 mph in 1.99 seconds with a top speed of 200 mph (322 km / h).

They did three 1/4 mile races. In the first, the Suzuki Hayabusa was the fastest, the Tesla Model S Plaid was second, while the Koenigsegg Agera RST was third. In the second race, the Koenigsegg Agera RST was again the slowest while the winner this time was the Tesla Model S Plaid. In the third race, the Suzuki Hayabusa achieved a time of 9.7 seconds, which is 0.1 seconds faster than the Tesla Model S Plaid (9.8 seconds), while the Koenigsegg Agera RST was last for the third time with a time of 10.4 seconds.

It should be noted that Koenigsegg was running on NE85 fuel so it only used 1,250 hp (919 kW), but that does not diminish the fact that traction was an issue.

In a rolling race at 50 mph in second gear, at 1/2 mile, the Koenigsegg Agera RST was fastest, the Tesla Model S Plaid was second, and the Suzuki Hayabusa was third. In the 100 mph braking test, the best was the Koenigsegg, the Tesla was very close while the Hayabasu needed the most stopping distance.
