What will win in a drag race between the new Porsche Cayenne Turbo E-Hybrid with GT package? Long name. The new Lamborghini Urus SE, the hybrid, the Ferrari Pura Sangue, and the Audi RS Q8 Performance. Well, we're going to find out by racing them over the standing quarter mile. I'm Matt Watson and you're watching Car Wow. The Audi RS Q8 Performance has a 4.0-litre twin-turbo V8, 640 horsepower, 850 newton metres of torque, all-wheel drive, and an eight-speed automatic gearbox with launch control. It weighs 2,275 kilograms and costs from £140,000. The Ferrari Pura Sangue has a naturally aspirated 6.5-litre V12 with 725 horsepower, 716 newton metres of torque, all-wheel drive, and an eight-speed automatic gearbox with launch control. It weighs around 2,150 kilograms and starts from £313,000. The new Lamborghini Urus SE has a 4.0-litre twin-turbo V8 with an electric motor. It's a hybrid. There's 800 horsepower, 950 newton metres of torque, all-wheel drive, an eight-speed automatic gearbox, and launch control. It weighs around 2,500 kilograms and costs from £208,000. The Porsche Cayenne Coupe Turbo E-Hybrid with GT pack has a 4.0-litre twin-turbo V8 with an electric motor, 739 horsepower, 950 newton metres of torque, all-wheel drive, and an eight-speed automatic gearbox with launch control. It weighs 2,495 kilograms and costs from £166,000. This can be a very interesting race because we've got three VW Group cars against Ferrari, but Ferraris are fast. I think it could be up to the task, but let's see what the driver of that bright blue Lambo thinks. I know you're in another Urus. You've had Uruses kind of from as long as I can remember, really, but they're always slightly different. So what's this one? Hi, Matt. I'm in the Urus SA. Obviously, it says SE on the side, but they call it SA. It's the new hybrid. It's 800 brake horsepower, and I'm here to do some damage. Oh, my God. You had a lot of coffee this morning. Tommy, naturally aspirated V12, the only naturally aspirated car here, but you've got four extra cylinders over everyone else. Do you need any electric hybrid boosting? I don't think you do, do you? I don't think I do either, and I think I'm lighter than everyone, so hopefully that helps in my favour. Finally then, Sam, in the RS Q8, down on power, but you have maximum skill, because you're a racing driver. Yeah, I can release the brake better than any man alive. Oh, you're so sarcastic. Let's start off with a sound check. So Sam, can you depress the throttle better than any man alive now so we can hear the engine? Soft, soft, soft. Depress is correct. I thought so. Tommy, let's listen to your V12. Wow. I just realised all you guys have the same engine. I know. It's not going to get better with the Lamborghini. Yeah, it will. The Lamborghini will be slightly better than the Audi. Go on, Lambo. That actually scared me. I opened the window and I jumped. I've got the burbles. This is going to sound like most of the Porsches, so a vacuum cleaner, unless it's a GT car, but here we go. I mean, this is the same engine as yours, Yanni, but how much better is your exhaust? Ten times better, thank you. Now, did I tell you, you can now buy used cars through CarWare? You've got a whole range of used cars and I've actually got a used version of one of these cars through CarWare. I'll put a link up there and in the pinned comment and in the description. So, click that link, follow the QR code, whatever, to go and find out about that used car. So, yeah, CarWare is now doing used cars. You can buy new, you can buy used and, of course, you can sell your car through CarWare. We do the lot and we do drag races. So, shall we drag race? That's what you came here for, isn't it? Matt, by the way, this car is box fresh. I've got 537 miles. I assume that's enough. I've checked to see if it goes in launch and it does. Did you read the manual about the running period? Yes. No. Is there a running period? No. Do you want to race? I sure do want to race. You know when you bought the car, were you gentle with the throttle or did you just have a blast straight away? Day one, you've got to give it a lot more at the start because then the car runs in faster and it feels faster. Yeah. Run it in fast, make it fast. That's right. Before we start, let's just do a quick prediction of what we think is going to happen. Sam, who do you think is going to win? Me. Ever confident racing driver. Okay. Tommy? Me in my Pro Sangre with a child seat in the back. Yanni, I know what you're going to say. I'm backing my own car. Come on, the Urus. Do you know what? I'm backing this as well. I think this is going to win because, you know, Porsche power. Three, two. Well, I'll let those guys go first, shall I? Let's abandon. Let's not get ahead of ourselves. But do you know what, Tommy? All the VW group vehicles launched perfectly, but the Ferrari failed. Well, maybe you failed. You know, it's just an Italian thing, you know, leaving you guys in suspense. So the real reason is? I have no clue. Did you **** up a little bit? It went into launch, but when I put my foot on the accelerator, it just went to like 1,000 RPM. And so, yeah. Do you want to have a little launch to see if it actually launches? Yeah, launch is fine now. Yeah, yeah. When it's not racing. I think your car is frightened. It's outnumbered three to one. Or it feels sorry for you guys all having the same car in different colours. That is true. At least yours is unique. Mine had a gearbox fault coming up. Just saying it's overheated, but it seems to be all right now. And also with this, it's a bit different because it goes, you've got to put the launch in, it prepares, and then it goes into launch. So I've got to try and work out the timing. Because obviously, he comes to me one before you. Do you want it to come to you last then, if yours is tricky? Because this is a Porsche and it will just launch all day, every day. Even though it's the same car, they just make them better in Germany than Italy. It's not that it's tricky. It takes a bit longer to go into launch. It's preparing, then it goes into launch. God, this is the biggest amount of pre-race preamble ever. Shall we just carry on as normal? Three, two. Oh, wait. I didn't thumbs up, Will. This is a f***ing joke, this is. Let's try again. I'm going home. This is a Porsche. This just does it normally. It's no problem with a Porsche. That was driver error. It wasn't car error. That was starter error. I was busy looking down, waiting for you. I thought you were fanning about trying to get your car working, but anyway. Oh, here we go, f***ing hell. My car was ready to launch. I'm just going to go and un-launch. Listen, I'm going for a piss. Is it lunchtime yet? Can we have lunch? I know you so well. Go to Tommy. Even if I don't know. Think I'm stupid. All right, let's do it, I think. Three, two, one. Well, that's interesting what's happening behind. Your brakes are on fire, Yanni. I'll go do some driving. Well done, Sam. Good launch from you, mate. Considering you're down on power to everyone else, you beat them, didn't you? Apart from me. Yep, yep. The Audi came first and second. Did it come last as well? The Ferrari came last. But I want to check one thing, and I'm surprised Sam and Yanni hasn't called it yet. Stuart, did I jump? Yes, you did jump. Yes, you jumped, mate. Yes, you jumped. I f***ing jumped. Okay, that race doesn't count. Did Sam jump as well? Sam did not jump. Consummate professional. That's why we pay you the big bucks. I was going to say big bucks, but we don't. That's why we pay you some money to come along, because you just nail it every time. We'll have a chat about money at lunchtime, Matthew. Three, two, one. Oh, we've got a race on here. We'll have a chat about money at lunchtime, Matthew. Come on! Oh, wow, they're all coming. Come on, Ferrari! We'll have a chat about money. Whoa, here comes the Ferrari now. We'll have a chat about money. What? I got a warning come up as your hands were going up. That was a wicked race, that was. Do you know what? This is a joke. I saw the Audi fail to launch. I thought, let me just keep going. I know, that was too good. That was too good a race. And the time on this car was mega. And that Ferrari was pulling everyone back in. I think a bit more room, you'd have beaten me. Yeah, yeah, definitely. I was getting there. Sam, that's one race, OK? It's 1-0 to the Porsche. Let's have another go. You're not going to win anything anyway, Sam. You're just there because we want to have you along in the video. I love the way everybody f***s up and we keep rerunning the races. And then this car actually has a problem and they're going to just run the race without it. Unbelievable. That's a good point, actually, Sam. Let's do it all again. So that race is disqualified as well. So we've had about three or four races now and we haven't actually done a clean race. Whoever wins, wins, OK? And that's the result. I hope I get off good. You always get off good, you do. Three, two... I'm pushing the... It's now decided to just push through its brakes. That's the joys of a ZF eight-speed gearbox. No real launch control. It's like, why is it even saying launch when it's just, like, cruising forward? Ten o'clock and we haven't managed to get one drag race done yet. This is a joke. This is a shambles, isn't it? And these are supposed to be the easiest cars to drive. Three, two... Oh, no, I f***ing jumped. I f***ing jumped. I jumped. For f***s sake. I might have to sit this one out. I don't think I can do this. Matt, do you want an adult to switch with you and push the brake pedal for you? Yes, I do, actually. Well, I've done 541 miles now, so at least my mileage is going up. I love that all that mileage is just launches. And for no actual completed drag race. Tommy just lost his mind in there, laughing his head off. I don't know why. It's so funny. Listen, if you love drag racing, but you like shorter drag race videos, we've got a new channel for you called Car Wow Drags. And you can subscribe to it by clicking on the pop-out banner or following the QR code or the link in the description. And we'll be uploading short, full, like, kind of three to five-minute-long drag race videos. Same kind of drag race videos you love, but shorter. Three, two, one. I held that back. Come on. Oh, it's close. This car is just not launching today. You had one good race and then it's when Sam's car didn't work. Steward, can we just check that Sam didn't jump? If you didn't jump, you're on it. I was a bit delayed because I was paranoid about jumping. But let's see how on it you were, Sam. So, Sam and Yannick jump. We haven't done a single race. And the best thing about this, I have no idea what's going to win. I have no idea because we haven't had a good start from anyone. This is just an absolute **** show. My launches are getting worse and worse. It's like I take my foot off the brake and the delay just changes. Do you know what? Jump then. Because we'll probably jump as well. Or someone will. You know, I saw this drag race and I thought, this is easy. This is just easy to do. Nice, easy day. But this is turning into utter chaos. 3, 2, 1. That's better. Where's that Ferrari? Come on, Ferrari! Yes! Italian power! Ferrari! We just call that as a day. Like, I can't face doing it again. Yeah, my launch weren't great though, typical. Ferrari? Came second. Had a good launch but the Porsche launch was just way better. I was bogging and sliding. Sam? Yeah, good launch. I could have been a touch delayed but I wouldn't want to risk doing that again. That was pretty good, I think. I think that's about the right result as well, don't you? We'll never know. Let's do the thing anyway. Yeah, I'm not happy about that because I've come last now and I've never come last in any of the other races and for the first time I've come last now. Let's just go back to the line. I don't emotionally have another launch in me, I'm afraid. I don't know if I do but let's just find out. That Urus should at least be the RSQ8. Three, two... Here we go. Launch! That's better. But the Ferrari's... OK. So, you did a bit better that time, didn't you, Jan? Yeah, I hope so. God knows what we're going to find out now anyway. OK. Tommy, yours wasn't so good, was it? Bogged down. I even let go of the brake early and I still left the line after everyone. And Sam? That's the best launch this one's done so I'm happy. Let's keep it. All those three cars performed slightly differently whereas this Porsche has just been performing the same over and over again. The only problem with the Porsche has been me. That's very true. It's always at the front. OK. That's it then. Good luck to the editor trying to make a good video out of that. So then what exactly happened? Well, the Porsche won. It completed the standing quarter mile in 11.4 seconds. Next was the Lamborghini just ahead of the Audi. Both cars crossed the line in 11.5 seconds. In last place was the Ferrari. It did the standing quarter mile in 11.6 seconds. Before our next race a little message that could well help you if you're looking to buy a used car, bike or van anytime soon. We've partnered with our friends at CarVertical to give you a special offer to check that it's not a write-off, stolen or had its mileage changed. Look at this Volvo V90 on CarVertical. It's got green ticks for odometer and finance but warnings for damage and theft. Why? It was previously stolen and involved in an accident. You'd never have known that without a car history check. So when buying a used car, bike or van run a CarVertical report using code CARWOW for 20% off or by following the link in the description. Now back to the race. Right, now we're going for a rolling race. We're going to put the cars in their like hybrid or normal comfort mode. We're in automatic modes for the gearbox. Imagine you're just cruising along 50mph then all of a sudden you want to race. So I'll call it in 3, 2, 1 then we're going to race in the half mile and see which car is quickest. 3, 2, 1, go. Blimey! Where was my car? That's interesting. Just how quick the RS Q8 was. I don't understand it. That was the weirdest thing ever. That didn't play out how I thought it would at all. First of all, Sam were you in like comfort mode and automatic mode for the gearbox because your car just shot off ahead of these hybrids which was odd. I'm pointing at E1 efficiency and it's all green. So this dropped 45 gears took a lifetime and then just took off. This took ages to kick down as well and everyone had took off. You were all like half a car length ahead of me. What happened to your car, Yanni? It's like you lift off the accelerator. Just hybrid. Just slow. Just didn't give me no sort of acceleration just normal. Yeah. I wonder if it just like reduces the power on hybrid mode for that. This Porsche doesn't it was pulling and it was so close between the three of us at the end. I think Sam just beat us to the half mile, Tommy but between me and you I'm not sure. That looked like a hybrid while these look like normal cars. That looked electric actually, didn't it? It looked electric. That's why I was just like wondering if Sam was just cheating because sometimes he does cheat. Let's do it in sports your Corsa mode in manual, OK? Three two one go. Sport response then. That was a clear win for the Ferrari and you were in third gear. Absolutely, yeah. I just took off. The Audi was so far behind then. It was like a complete reversal. Yeah, but I guess that's just down to comfort and gearbox settings isn't it? When it was just raw pace we just saw this as lacking a couple hundred horsepower didn't it? Yeah, but I was surprised about the Lamborghini I mean maybe because it's only done 500 miles and it's loose enough I think we might have to get it back for another race. It seems OK it definitely feels quicker than what it was but who knows. Right, now we're going to do a brake test from 100 miles an hour when we reach the cones for an emergency stop car that stops in the shortest distance wins. Now if you'd rather watch another drag race click on the pop out button up there scan the QR code on the screen Here we go that's 100 miles an hour to the floor Yes! Do you know what the problem there is Yanni? What? Weight. Yeah, look at us we're pretty much exact though. Yeah, because our cars are pretty much exactly the same. I think you were just slightly behind me I think you won I think I came last. It's a brake test who cares? Oh, come on don't be like that. Listen, I hope you all enjoyed the video if you did give it a like let me know which of these cars you'd rather have let me know in the comments below and if you click on the Carwow logo you can head over to check out the Carwow Drag Race Leaderboard to compare these cars quarter mile times to everything else we've ever drag raced. Thanks for watching and I'll see you next time.
