00:03what i went in a drag race between the ferrari 296 gts and the new porsche km turbo ev we're
00:09going to find out by racing them over the standing quarter mile i'm matt watson you're watching car
00:13wow this ferrari has a three liter twin turbo v6 hybrid with 830 horsepower and 740 newton meters
00:23of torque driving the rear wheels only by an eight-speed automatic gearbox with launch control
00:27it weighs about 1.6 tons that porsche has two electric motors that combined put out an incredible
00:341156 horsepower and 1500 newton meters of torque still it does weigh 2.6 tons to compare the car's
00:40stats side by side pause the video now so yanni what do you think is going to happen you don't
00:44look right in that car matt it doesn't suit you in the slightest first of all the sun is going
00:49to burn
00:49you i should be in that car and you should be in this car that's not you mate is an
00:54electric suv very
00:55much more me exactly that and what are you doing in the convertible i feel sorry for your white skin
01:00well i've got mediterranean skin i live in cyprus but anyway what i think is going to happen this
01:04kite is rapido and i used to own one of those cars i know how fast they are as well
01:08so i think this is
01:09going to be a really good race i wouldn't put my man on either i think it's going to be
01:12close well
01:12let's do it let's race come on ferrari all over the place
01:36the launch is insane
01:41blimey that car is so fast

01:59i
01:59know how fast that is this is stupid stupid don't think it's done though i reckon if i get a
02:05bit more
02:06traction i do a bit of wheel spin i might have you don't get too confident yet yanni we're gonna
02:10do best
02:11three out of five no problem i'm looking forward to the start of the video to the end of the
02:15video
02:15to see how much of a tan you've got very funny now before we do some more drag racing i
02:19really
02:19need to want more tires so we're going to do some rolling races first 50 miles an hour cars in
02:24their
02:24least sporty setting which is for me sport yours is comfort and we're going to get to 50 miles an
02:29hour
02:29i'm going to be an automatic you don't have gears but it doesn't matter i'll go three two one go
02:32i'm a race to the half mile right here we go three two one go
02:41oh he took forever
02:52oh he's coming
02:56here i come
03:00bye
03:08okay there you got there i did i saw you coming and you're coming fast as well why are you
03:13coming
03:13fast how are you coming first oh i'm pleased with that all right now we have a rolling race but
03:19in
03:19our spoiler settings and i'm in manual mode so it's gonna be a roll on for about 50 miles an
03:24hour
03:24i'm in third gear you're yawning that's so tired is that indicative of the fact that evs are just
03:31too boring for you regardless of how fast they are they just make you yawn exactly that i'd much
03:35rather be in that with the roof down enjoying the sun all right let's go let's go let's go
03:39here we go three two one go oh look at this it's close
03:53got him now
04:09for a big brick that is insanely fast
04:14and for the first bit you're on it but we've got to just take our hats off to this amazing
04:19amazing
04:20car once it's wrong this thing is insane isn't it sport plus push to pass incredible pulling but
04:27that ferrari is so fast and it is a really nice car just doesn't look what it should look like
04:32in my
04:32opinion right let's do one of the race which is like a halfway house between the drag race and the
04:37rolling race this is gonna be real close okay yeah and what we're gonna do now we're gonna roll in
04:4110 miles an hour i'll be in first gear you'll be having your push to pass on when the starter's
04:46hands go down we race over the full half mile this is going to be super interesting three two one
04:59i was on that so fast
05:11got me for the first bit come on ferrari
05:23are they coming
05:27here we go here we go
05:32i've run out push to pass
05:39i run out i push the pass you know i was trying to push it again i need that one
05:44bit more i need
05:45more it's like in the computer games when you run out nitrous isn't it you're like come on but
05:49you didn't have any more did you i just beat you that was wicked that was really good really good
05:55so
05:55you've been amazed with how that car performs in terms of acceleration now you're going to experience
05:59what it's like under braking because even though it weighs 2.6 tons it is mad let's do a brake
06:04test
06:04and then we'll do the final drag racing for the decider
06:16what oh yes yes yes yes i thought i was gonna have you because i was a bit behind but
06:21then my car
06:22just kept skipping on the abs honestly what do you think about the braking performance on that for such a
06:26big heavy car i had the brakes on full and then all of a sudden i heard the regen
06:31and it gave me a bit more extra brake well there you go i can't believe you won it ain't
