Drag race: Tesla Cybertruck v F-150 Raptor R v Lamborghini Urus

Drag racing has been popular for a long time, but lately there are more and more powerful new production cars competing. One such “fight” was organized by the guys from the YouTube channel Carwow, putting the Tesla Cybertruck, Ford F-150 Raptor R and Lamborghini Urus on the line.

Although the Tesla Cybertruck looks weird at first glance, it is a really powerful car. It is offered in three versions of the powertrain, and the most powerful has three electric motors with a total power of 845 hp (630 kW) and 686 lb-ft (930 Nm) of torque. It reaches 60 mph in 2.6 seconds with a top speed of 210 km/h (130 mph).

The Lamborghini Urus is a powerful sports SUV powered by a 4.0L biturbo V8 engine with 650 hp (478 kW) and 627 lb-ft (850 Nm) of torque. With all-wheel drive it reaches 62 mph (100 km/h) in 3.6 seconds with a top speed of 305 km/h (190 mph).

The Ford F-150 Raptor R is a powerful pickup powered by a supercharged 5.2-liter V-8 engine with 700 hp (522 kW) and 640 lb-ft (868 Nm) of torque. It reaches 60 mph in about 5.2 seconds with a top speed of 114 mph (183 km/h). Power is sent to all wheels via a 10-speed automatic transmission.

Cybertruck vs Urus

At the standard 1/4 mile, on the newly constructed road next to Tesla’s GigaFactory, the Lamborghini Urus stood no chance against the Cybertruck. In every race, the Tesla car was too fast for the Urus, even though the drivers switched cars. The Tesla Cybertruck covered the 1/4 mile in 11.2 seconds, while the Lamborghini took 12.3 seconds.

From 30 mph, over the same distance, the Tesla was again unbeatable. As well as from 40 mph, even when the Urus started one second before the Cybertruck. Braking was the advantage of the Urus. From 70 mph the Urus managed to stop in a shorter distance than the Cybertruck which needed a few more meters even though it was using mud tires.

Cyberturk vs Ford F-150 Raptor R

At the standard 1/4 mile, the Cybertruck showed its power and left the F-150 Raptor R far behind. The Raptor R was in line with the Tesla in the first ten meters, but after that it had no chance. The Tesla Cybertruck covered the 1/4 mile in 11.2 seconds while the F-150 Raptor R took 12.4 seconds. From 20 mph, the Tesla was far faster than the Raptor R. From 70 mph, the Tesla managed to stop in a shorter distance than the F-150 Raptor R, which needed 20 meters more.

Tesla Cybertruck has shown that it is a very good car, but also why over 2 million units have been ordered so far.

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. It is an extremely powerful and fast car that many want to defeat in a one-on-one race. A tuned Lamborghini Huracan tried that too in a drag race organized by the Carwow team.

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.

2018 Lamborghini Huracan Performante with 7k miles for sale

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.
