G'day, I'm Paul. I'm sitting in a 1 of 63 Lamborghini Cheyenne. It's like a $5 million car.
My mate Alvor's over there. He's sitting in another car that is quite rare and also quite
expensive. McLaren Senna, run us through that thing. Mate, this thing, 4-litre twin-turbo V8,
it's got so much torque, it's got so much power. I mean, this car needs literally no introduction.
But it is rear-wheel drive and you're in an all-wheel drive V12, so I am a little bit worried
about the launch, but I reckon once I get going, if I ever do, I'm going to have you as we get
closer to the end of the runway. Well, I've got a 6.5-litre V12, naturally aspirated, but it does
have a supercapacitor, which is like a 48-volt thing. It's an electric motor that gives you a
little bit more power. This engine's from the SVJ and then they've added a couple of these
little components in. It's kind of all shared with the Countach as well. And it's made into
an automated manual, so the gear shifts in these are just monumentally fast and hard,
so it's pretty incredible stuff. So, this is how this is going to work. We're going to do
a drag race down the quarter mile, then we're going to come back and do a roll race,
and then at the end, I'm just going to be quiet so you can hear these things
accelerating down there. You can see some acceleration figures as well.
It is going to be truly exciting. I am a little bit nervous, but we will see how it all goes.
I've got to give a massive shout-out to Caltex, who are helping us put this on. This is an
expensive event. Without their support, none of this would be possible. Big shout-out to our mate
Lawrence. He owns all of these cars, plus others, and we wouldn't be able to do any of this without
him supporting us, so we genuinely appreciate that. But, elbows, figure out all your switches and
stuff, and I'll do the same, and then let's go. Okay. Megan, count us in.
Oh, I don't know. What? What? Wow. What?
That was insane. That was insane. Oh, man. I was so far behind. You had such a good launch,
and then I just reeled you in. I don't know if I won. I really don't know.
I actually, I didn't have time to check where you were, because I was like,
oh, I've easily won. He's somewhere completely behind. There's no way he's going to catch me.
Then, we get to the finish line, and I'm about to celebrate, and then,
all of a sudden, you fly past me like I'm standing still.
This has got so much more torque in the top end. It's crazy.
I'm honestly stunned, because I think the thing with this car is the gear shifts
are so brutal that you feel like you're going a million miles an hour, but I don't think I
actually am. That is on another planet, but there is, if you get a proper launch,
there is no way I will be anywhere near you. G'day. I'm Paul. We are filming our next drag
race series where we take some of the fastest cars on the road and pit them up against each
other to see which is quickest. The cars we're running today are powered by premium
98 Caltex with Tecron. Caltex with Tecron has been scientifically proven to help clean and
protect engines. A clean engine helps maximise power and acceleration, providing better fuel
economy, reliable performance, and delivering a smoother drive. Head to caltex.com.au for more
information, and I'll see you on the finish line. All right. Second run elbows. I think you've got
some warm tyres now, so let's give this a crack. Megan, count us in when you're ready.
Oh, the launch is so brutal.
Nah, no, it cracks in there.
No, there's no way he's going to catch me now.
Over there, champion. I just bogged down at the start, so look, I think it's fair to say
the all-wheel drive in that car has this for the straight line, but I reckon let's do a roll race,
because I think you haven't got a hope in hell. Yeah, so I think the roll race is going to
separate the men from the boys. Well, when it comes to manufacturers, I think it's quite clear
which one of us is a man, which one's a boy, but anyway. All right, let's go back there and do a
roll race. Now, we're going to do a roll race here, so we're basically going to accelerate up to 50
k's an hour to where Igor is with the hat, and then we're going to drop the hammer and see how
I reckon this is where he's going to have me, because that thing is on another planet.
All right, elbows, let's do this.
Look at that.
Yeah, baby, that's how you do it. Seriously, that's how you do it.
That is insanity. Mate, that's what we call a comprehensive defeat.
Yeah, I'm happy to give you that one. That centre is otherworldly when it comes to acceleration.
It does look like, I don't know, it just looks like a bit of a science project. I don't know
that I love it, but yeah, it is pretty cool. Yeah, I agree. If I had to pick between the
car I'm in and the car you're driving, I would pick your car every day of the week.
Yeah, pretty much. It's not the size, it's the, what is it, the motion in the ocean,
I think is the thing. Now, this is where I'm going to throw to the part where I'm just going
to be quiet and you get to hear what these cars sound like accelerating down the quarter mile.
Oh man, that was something else. Like a carbon fibre McLaren centre up against a one of 63
Lamborghini Chiron. Like, this is seriously incredible stuff. So I hope you enjoyed the
content. We have so much more coming, so if you do want to see some of the other drag races we
have coming, please subscribe to the channel and press the bell icon. Let us know what else you
want us to drag race as well. And one more time, a huge shout out to the legends out here at Wild
Ketchum for hosting us this week. It has been such a fun week, we've really enjoyed it,
and I think we'll be coming back for some more. But until next time, take it easy.
