Lambo Huracan Perf v Zeekr 8X: DRAG RACE

[00:03] Come on, Lambo.

[00:05] What will win in a drag race between a

[00:07] Lamborghini Huracan Puffamante with a

[00:09] 5.2 L V10 and some big heavy Chinese SUV

[00:14] with a 2 L turbocharged petrol engine?

[00:17] Well, we're going to find out by racing

[00:18] them over the standing quarter mile. I'm

[00:20] M Watson. You're watching Carw Wow.

[00:25] >> Here we go.

[00:27] 3 2 1

[00:34] >> It's close. Pretty close, actually.

[00:40] It's close, but I've got a better

[00:42] launch.

[00:49] I've got him. Well, even at higher

[00:51] speed, I'm already 180.

[00:57] Got him.

[01:02] >> That's close.

[01:03] >> He was a bit delayed on the line. I was

[01:05] lucky there. I was very lucky. I bet he

[01:07] can go quicker. Well, I had the perfect

[01:09] launch, but I think you might have been

[01:10] a bit delayed. Otherwise, it would have

[01:12] been a lot closer.

[01:13] >> Yeah, actually, I think I can do better.

[01:15] >> Well, I'll tell you what. We're going to

[01:16] do best three out of five. Anyway, but

[01:18] before we get into that, let's do

[01:20] another race first. I'm going to give

[01:22] you the stats on these cars really

[01:23] quick. So, this is a 5.2 L naturally

[01:25] aspirated V10. It's got 640 horsepower,

[01:28] 600 new m of torque, allwheel drive,

[01:30] dual clutch auto, and it weighs about

[01:31] 1.5 tons. That Zika has a 2 L

[01:33] turbocharged petrol engine, which acts

[01:35] as a generator to provide electricity

[01:37] for the three electric motors, which

[01:39] combined have 1,400 horsepower, 1,400

[01:42] new meters of torque. It is heavy

[01:43] though. It weighs in at 2.8 tons. Still,

[01:46] it's cheap. It's about 50 grand in

[01:48] China. Anyway, let's do a rolling race.

[01:50] Comfort mode. Kanan, we've got to go in

[01:52] our comfiest, most relaxed mode.

[01:54] >> So, you go in comfort mode. I'm going in

[01:56] strradda.

[01:57] >> Yeah, but this comfort mode reduces the

[01:59] power huh Matt?

[02:00] >> Well, that sounds like a you problem.

[02:02] Let's race. We're going to race over the

[02:04] half mile. Just get level with me. I'll

[02:05] get the speed up to 50. Cars are in

[02:07] automatic and I'll go 3 2 1 and then say

[02:10] go. 3 2 1 go.

[02:20] Come on, Lambo.

[02:23] Bye-bye.

[02:25] Bye-bye. Ah,

[02:31] Bye-bye.

[02:35] Absolutely hammered him.

[02:40] That is slow. You're up for the win. Oh,

[02:44] Kenan, you got absolutely destroyed.

[02:45] Your big heavy Chinese SUV is no match

[02:48] for this Italian lightweight. Yeah, but

[02:51] I would do much faster with the sport

[02:52] plus.

[02:53] >> Okay. Right. Well, we'll see about that

[02:55] because we are going to do the same race

[02:56] again, but I'm going to be in manual

[02:58] mode and I'm going to be in coarser.

[03:00] >> You can be in sport plus. Do whatever

[03:01] you need to do, my friend. I don't care.

[03:03] >> We'll see how much faster it is in sport

[03:05] plus cuz don't forget this car is now

[03:07] going to be quicker. And his he's got no

[03:11] gears to change. So, it just should be

[03:12] the same. Right. So, here we come. I'm

[03:14] going to go into second gear. 3 2 1 go.

[03:24] Come on. This is so close. Neck and

[03:26] neck. Absolutely at neck and neck

[03:28] acceleration.

[03:34] No, he's coming fast. He's coming fast.

[03:45] Oh, what's happening now? It's neck and

[03:47] neck. I flust the gear change. Wait a

[03:49] minute. 234. 236. Oh.

[03:59] Oh, I just got him on the line. I hit a

[04:01] limiter. I just got him on the line. I

[04:03] was so lucky. I fluffed a gear change

[04:06] and it was odd. Then it's almost like he

[04:08] backed off. What happened? Oh, I think I

[04:10] know. Hey, Kenan. I don't suppose your

[04:13] car has a speed limiter, does it? I'm

[04:15] not sure, but it says from the, you

[04:17] know, public information, it says it's

[04:19] limited to 230. I think I kind of hit

[04:21] some limiter at 237.

[04:23] >> If you hadn't hit that limiter, you

[04:25] would have won because I fluffed a gear

[04:26] change. So, that was a lucky victory for

[04:29] me. However, I'm not going to up

[04:31] next time. I'll meet you back on the

[04:33] start line. We'll see what's what.

[04:35] Right, Keenan. What we're going to do

[04:36] now is a rolling race from about 10

[04:38] miles an hour, first gear over the half

[04:40] mile. And I'm not going to mess up any

[04:42] gear changes. So, get ready. 3, two,

[04:46] one.

[04:52] >> I'm definitely faster in terms of uh

[04:55] power response.

[04:56] >> He's ahead of me. Can I reel him back

[04:58] in?

[05:03] Oh, the pickup. I was too low down in

[05:05] the rev range.

[05:06] >> The initial moment, the reaction from

[05:09] electric motor is really, really

[05:10] amazing.

[05:14] He's going to hit his limiter in a

[05:16] minute, but it's too little too late.

[05:17] I'm gaining now.

[05:26] >> Okay, I won. Woohoo.

[05:29] >> I was just too far down in my rev range,

[05:32] then in first gear, and he's shut off.

[05:34] Doesn't have that problem. Instant

[05:36] torque from his three electric motors.

[05:38] Blime me. 1,400 blumbing Newton meters.

[05:41] Blimey. Blimeiness. Now, if you want to

[05:42] compare these cars stats, here's a

[05:44] table. Just pause the video. Next

[05:47] challenge. I bet you're pleased with

[05:49] that, aren't you?

[05:49] >> Yeah. Yeah. Actually, from the response

[05:51] of this electric motor, it was really

[05:53] insane. I mean, instantaneous.

[05:55] >> I know. But don't forget, we're going to

[05:58] go to the drag race in a second, and

[05:59] I've already won one. You better be

[06:01] prepared. Before that, though, there's

[06:03] another challenge which I think might go

[06:05] in my favor. It's a brake test from 100

[06:07] miles an hour. You ready?

[06:09] >> Let's try.

[06:12] Yeah, I think it's really difficult for

[06:14] me to in a break test to to outperform

[06:16] you. It's almost not possible. That's a

[06:18] supercar math.

[06:19] >> Well, we shall see.

[06:23] That's 100 miles an hour. I get lovely,

[06:25] mate. Now, if you'd rather watch another

[06:30] Here comes the clones now.

[06:43] Mate, you must have broken early for

[06:45] sure.

[06:46] >> Yeah, I think slightly earlier.

[06:48] >> Okay, I'll meet you back up there. Let's

[06:49] have another go. Let's do it fairly.

[06:50] Right, I hope that he did break too

[06:52] early because if he wins again, that's

[06:54] going to be humiliating for me. Right,

[06:56] the cones are coming up now. into it in

[06:58] 3 2 1

[07:16] this time is actually spot on.

[07:23] Was close up.

[07:28] Let's do the drag race. This is what

[07:29] it's all about everybody, the drag

[07:31] racing. So, if you're looking for a

[07:49] Okay, let's do this race. Remember, 1

[07:51] nil to me, best three out of five.

[07:53] >> Three, two, one.

[07:59] on the head.

[08:04] >> Oh yeah, I've got him.

[08:12] Yeah, I've got him. I'm slightly slower.

[08:21] Woohoo.

[08:28] Yeah, it totally dropped. He done. He

[08:31] diddly done. There's no way he's going

[08:33] to win the next race. No way. I hope.

[08:36] >> So, I think I'm slightly slower at the

[08:38] at the at the reaction. So, you have to

[08:40] really go 3 to one with the one to to

[08:43] press the acceleration pedal. Otherwise,

[08:45] it's slow for sure.

[08:47] >> Yeah, that's right. So, you need to be

[08:49] on it. I was on it and that's why you

[08:51] got beat, but I'm not sure you'll win

[08:53] anyway. This just seems too fast.

[08:55] >> Yeah, but obviously there is another

[08:57] button I haven't pushed. So that's

[08:59] called boost. So might be faster next

[09:02] time.

[09:02] >> Boost button. E. Well, he thinks it

[09:04] might be faster. We'll find out, won't

[09:06] we? Okay, Kenan. Well, you better hope

[09:08] that your boost button works this time

[09:10] because I've got two. I just need one

[09:13] more. And it's victory to the

[09:15] Lamborghini. And you can take that big

[09:17] heavy lump away from the drag strip.

[09:27] Come on, Lambo.

[09:33] No. Okay.

[09:41] No. No. No. No. No. No. No. Spald on

[09:43] acceleration.

[09:47] I'm reading him in a bit, but I don't

[09:49] think I'm going to get him.

[09:57] That is my best launch yet. I was just a

[10:00] bit delayed. He went before me, but that

[10:01] time was like banging. Oh my goodness.

[10:05] Oh my goodness. Boost worked there,

[10:07] Kenan. I think you went off a little bit

[10:10] earlier than me. I I I could have done

[10:12] better on my launch. The actual launch

[10:14] itself, the way it hooked and went up

[10:15] the runway was great, but my reaction

[10:17] was a bit delay compared to you. This is

[10:19] going to be so close. 2-1 to me. Keenan,

[10:22] you still need to win this one to stay

[10:23] in the game. No pressure.

[10:30] >> No. Again,

[10:40] just ahead of me on the launch. Good

[10:42] launch.

[10:53] I know if I get a better launch, I'll

[10:55] have him. I'm sure I'm getting him. I'm

[10:56] pulling him back in now.

[11:11] Man, it's my fault that there's a delay

[11:14] on this. You lift off the brake and

[11:16] there's a pause then it goes. So trying

[11:18] to time it right is quite tricky. If I

[11:21] time it right though, I don't know which

[11:22] one's going to win. Right. Good news for

[11:24] you, bad news for me. I was a bit behind

[11:26] on the launch means it's two to you, two

[11:29] to me. We're all square. Right, Kanan?

[11:32] This is it. Whichever car wins this race

[11:35] is the overall winner. If we can match

[11:37] the launches side by side, we will

[11:39] genuinely see which is the quickest.

[11:42] Good luck.

[11:44] 2.

[11:48] Closer.

[11:55] Come on.

[11:58] So close. Nice start.

[12:06] Acceleration

[12:14] really neck and neck.

[12:20] I'm just ahead. I'm just going to do it.

[12:26] >> Wow, that was so close. I think we

[12:28] launched it at the exact same time. It

[12:32] was amazing.

[12:33] >> Yeah, I think I last time I couldn't

[12:35] have done better. nor me. I think that's

[12:37] a fair result. These cars are so closely

[12:40] matched, but the Lamborghini just edged

[12:43] it out. Wow. So then, what exactly

[12:45] happened? Well, the Lamborghini just

[12:47] about beat the Zika, but both cars

[12:50] completed the standing quarter mile in

[12:52] 10.6 seconds.

[12:54] Listen, I hope you enjoyed the video. If

[12:55] you did, give it a like. And if you want

[12:57] to suggest some other drag races for us

[12:58] to do, let us know in the comments.

[13:00] Thanks for watching. We'll see you next

[13:02] time.
