[0:00] Oh my goodness. Oh,
[0:04] what will win in a drag race between the
[0:05] new Porsche 911 Turbo S hybrid and a
[0:08] Ferrari 296? Well, we're going to find
[0:10] out by racing them over the standing
[0:12] quarter mile. I'm Watson. You're
[0:13] watching Car.
[0:17] What we have here is a 3.6 L twinturbo
[0:20] hybrid with 711 horsepower and 800 new m
[0:24] of torque. That Ferrari is a 3 L V6
[0:27] hybrid with 830 horsepower and 740 new
[0:31] meters. Right, let's start off with a
[0:32] drunk race.
[0:33] >> 3 2 1
[0:40] so quick off the line.
[0:47] Oh, it's fast. Can he catch me up?
[0:59] Oh, here he comes now. Oh. Oh,
[1:05] he's gaining. If he gets a better
[1:07] launch, he might be in with a chance.
[1:09] Oh, mate, that thing was flying at the
[1:12] end of that. Wow. I didn't think this
[1:15] was going to stand a chance. I can't
[1:16] believe how this was reeling you in.
[1:18] >> If I'm napping on the launch, this might
[1:19] not win. Anyway, it's not a foregone
[1:21] conclusion this. What we're going to do
[1:23] is some other challenges. Let you warm
[1:24] up your tires. I'll warm up mine and
[1:25] then we'll come back to the drag racing
[1:27] cuz it's best three out of five. What
[1:28] we're going to do is make sure our tires
[1:30] are fully warm. We are going to do a
[1:32] rolling race. We're going to be in our
[1:33] sportiest setting, but automatic mode
[1:35] for the gearbox. We're going to race
[1:36] over the half mile from 50 mph. Are you
[1:39] ready?
[1:39] >> Yeah. I'll see you later, buddy.
[1:41] >> Okay. Oh dear. Here we go. 3 2 1 go.
[1:46] >> I think it was right. Look at that
[1:48] takeoff. Oh my goodness.
[1:52] Woohoo!
[1:57] Oh my goodness.
[2:02] Look at him.
[2:09] That is a rocket ship.
[2:20] Oh, mate. Your car just absolutely shot
[2:22] off. Mine was just changing gear as I
[2:26] called it and so it changed up and then
[2:28] had to change down again which didn't
[2:29] help it out much. Your car was gone.
[2:31] That was destroying you. It was humbling
[2:35] that explain. Very humbling. And it
[2:37] makes me worried about the drag races in
[2:39] a bit. Um, let's take the changing of
[2:42] the gearbox out of it and just go in
[2:44] manual mode. See if there's a difference
[2:45] there. Third gear. Roll on.
[2:46] >> Absolutely. Oh, he's loving it, isn't
[2:48] he? Vment. Third gear. Here we go. 3 2 1
[2:52] go.
[2:54] God, he's just dropping me.
[3:02] That is madness.
[3:17] This is so fast. But
[3:22] >> and I'm carrying no weight cuz I'm
[3:23] running out of fuel. Sam, Sam,
[3:25] >> you're enjoying yourself now, are you?
[3:27] >> If that's a supercar and a Yes, go is a
[3:30] hypercar. What's this?
[3:32] >> I wanted to come up with something funny
[3:34] there. Maybe we can use AI to make me
[3:36] say something funny.
[3:36] >> It is a red car. Do you know what? I've
[3:38] got a way where I think this car might
[3:39] beat you cuz it's really really fast in
[3:41] this very specific area. Meet you back
[3:43] on the start line.
[3:44] >> No, we're done, aren't we?
[3:46] >> Right, Sam. What we're going to do now
[3:47] is a roll in first gear from 10 mph. The
[3:50] starter will start us race over the half
[3:52] mile.
[3:52] >> 3 2 1
[3:58] >> See, dropped it. Wow,
[4:06] it's crazy.
[4:11] Now, where is he?
[4:22] Can I get to the half mile mark before
[4:24] he come? It's coming now.
[4:33] Oh, damn it.
[4:38] This takes off though, doesn't it? This
[4:40] is mad in first gear.
[4:41] >> Tell you what, that is some party trick.
[4:43] I genuinely thought I was going to walk
[4:44] past you and laugh. I It took me ages to
[4:46] come past you.
[4:48] Right, we're going to get into the drag
[4:50] races cuz it's best three out of five.
[4:52] And I've won one so far, but it was
[4:54] very, very close. Before we do that
[4:55] though, brake test.
[4:57] >> Uh-oh. I don't want to go up against the
[4:58] Porsche.
[4:59] >> It's all right. It's me driving. Now, if
[5:01] you're thinking about changing your car,

[5:19] to happen now? Here comes the line.
[5:28] OH, YOU BUGGER. DAMN. THAT is so close,
[5:31] but no win for me. Well, it looks like
[5:33] your car seems to be winning the rolling
[5:35] races and the brake test. I've won one
[5:37] drag race. Can I win more? Let's do it,
[5:39] Sam. This is it.
[5:40] >> Just remember how close it was. Don't
[5:42] panic. Don't fluff it now. Okay.
[5:46] >> 3 2 1.
[5:55] >> It's better.
[6:04] It's come on.
[6:11] >> That wasn't the best launch from this.
[6:12] He's coming back now.
[6:21] >> I did exactly what you said. I didn't
[6:22] fluff it. I nailed it. Um, so thanks for
[6:24] your words of encouragement.
[6:26] >> Formal protest. Can we do a half mile
[6:27] drag race, please?
[6:28] >> No, thank you. Right. Come on. One. Last
[6:30] go. You got to win this one to stay in
[6:31] it.
[6:48] Oh, it's a better launch from the
[6:49] Porsche.
[6:54] Oh.
[7:04] He was coming back. Whoa. Get out the
[7:06] way, little birdie.
[7:07] >> I tell you what's worrying. I had a
[7:09] better launch that time.
[7:11] >> Well, there we go. Sam, clean sweep in
[7:13] the drag races. I mean, this just
[7:15] launches so well cuz it's four-wheel
[7:16] drive. But actually, when you think that
[7:17] that is just two wheel drive, it's
[7:18] insane, isn't it? And it was coming
[7:20] back. It always is just coming back.
[7:22] Just hasn't got enough room over the
[7:23] quarter mile. Yeah, it's ridic how this
[7:25] rear wheel drive puts that power down. I
[7:27] don't understand. I think this needs two
[7:29] more meters on the quarter mile and
[7:31] that's it. Game over for you.
[7:32] >> But there's not two more meters, is
[7:35] there? That's why this wins. So then
[7:37] what exactly happened? Well, the Porsche
[7:39] won. It completed the standing/4 mile in
[7:42] 10 seconds dead. The Ferrari took 10.2
[7:45] seconds. My question is though, is this
[7:47] new Porsche 911 Turbo S actually that
[7:50] much faster than the previous generation
[7:51] car? Well, to find out, click on the
[7:54] video window and you'll see me drag race
[7:56] it against that car and all of its
[7:59] predecessors.
