Comparing car performances has always attracted attention, and drag races in particular are very popular among car enthusiasts. However, when two supercars meet on the track, a clash of titans ensues. Such is the case with the Lamborghini Aventador SVJ and Rimac Nevera, which the Top Gear team compared in a drag race.

Rimac Nevera uses a four-motor fully-electric powertrain with 1,914 hp (1,408 kW) and 1,741 lb-ft (2,360 Nm) of torque. It is equipped with a lithium-manganese-nickel battery with 6,960 cells and a capacity of 120kWh. Thanks to four individually powered wheels it reaches 62 mph in just 1.97 seconds with a top speed of 258 mph (413 km / h), but this model is electronically limited to 219 mph (352 kph).

The Aventador SVJ is powered by a 6.5-liter V12 engine with 770 hp (566 kW) and 530 lb-ft (720 Nm) of torque. Power is transmitted to all wheels via a 7-speed single clutch automatic transmission. With a weight of 1,525 kg, it reaches 60 mph in 2.7 seconds with a top speed of 217 mph (350 + km / h). It is mounted on 20″ and 21″ rims wrapped in 255/30 ZR 20 (front) and 355/25 ZR 21 (rear) Pirelli P Zero Corsa tires.

Although, by all standards, the Lamborghini Aventador SVJ is a very, very powerful car, in this case it had no chance against the Rimac Nevera.

Automotive journalist Chris Harris is one of those car enthusiasts who has driven almost every car model available in the European market, so his opinion on cars should be taken into account. He recently tested a Lamborghini Huracan that didn’t enchant him as he expected. But what about the Huracan STO?

Although he had previously criticized the Lamborghini Huracan, he still decided to drive his latest model, the Huracan STO. However, he did not hide his enthusiasm here, especially with the engine that sounds like a musical instrument. The new Huracan STO is upgraded with titanium roll cage, magnesium wheels, single piece front end made of carbon fiber, which makes the new STO 43 kg lighter than the previous Huracan Performante.

Under the hood is a 5.2 L naturally aspirated V10 engine with 640 hp (470 kW) and 417 lb-ft (565 Nm) of torque. Power is transmitted to the rear wheels via a seven-speed dual clutch gearbox LDF. It is lighter than the Aventador SVJ (1,339 kg), reaching 62 mph in 3 seconds with a top speed of 193 mph (310 km / h). It is mounted on 20 “rims wrapped in 245/30 R20 (front) and 305/30 R20 (rear) Bridgestone Potenza Sport tires.

In its category, the Huacan WTO is not that quick. For example, a Porsche GT3 or a McLaren 765 LT cost less and are just as fast. Either way, driving is not numbers. It is about the feelings and connection between the machine and the driver.

At the end of the ride around Silverstone, Harris said that, for him, the Huracan STO is the best Lamborghini ever.
