Lambo Huracan Perf vs Zeekr 8X: Full Breakdown & Transcript

[00:00] Come on Lambo! Woohoo! What will win in a drag race between a Lamborghini Huracan Puffer Mante with a 5.2L VTED and some big heavy Chinese SUVs?

[00:14] With a 2.0L turbocharged Fiat Fiat. Well we're going to find out by racing them over to Standing Quarter tomorrow. I'm Matt Watson, you're watching CarWow. There we go.

[00:30] Close, pretty close actually. Close, but above that load.

[00:44] I've got it. Well even on a Paris engine I'm already 180. Quiet! That's all?

[00:56] It was a bit delayed on the line, I was lucky there, I was very lucky. I bet it can go quicker.

[01:09] Well I had the perfect launch but I think it might have been a bit delayed otherwise it would have been a lot closer. Yeah actually I think that's a little better. Well I tell you what, we're going to do best 3 out of 5 anyway and before we get into that, let's do another race first.

[01:21] I'm going to give you the stats on these cars really quick. So this is a 5.2 litre naturally aspirated VTEC for 640 horsepower, 600 newton metres of torque, all-wheel drive, dual clutch auto, and it weighs about 1.5 tonnes.

[01:33] That VTEC has a 2 litre turbocharged petrol engine which acts as a generator to provide electricity for the three electric motors, which combined have 1,400 horsepower and 1,400 newton metres of torque. It is heavy though, it weighs in at 2.8 tonnes.

[01:46] So it's cheap, it's about 50 grand in China. Anyway, let's do a rolling race. Comfort mode. Okay then, we're going to go in our comfier, super relaxed mode. So you go in comfort mode, I'm going in strada.

[01:58] Yeah, but it's time for a more reducer to power, aren't it? Well, that sounds like a you problem. Let's race. We're going to race over the half mile. Just get level with me, I'll get the speed up to 50, cars in automatic, and I'll go 3, 2, 1, and then say go.

[02:11] 3, 2, 1, go. go come on my friend

[02:24] bye bye bye bye bye bye not pretty huh baby

[02:36] That was Europe for the win. Ok, then you got absolutely destroyed. Your big heavy Chinese SUV.

[02:48] Isn't he matched to this Italian Lightweight? Yeah, but that would do much faster with the Sport Plus. Ok, well we'll see about that because we are going to do the same race again, but I'm going to be in manual mode and I'm going to be in Corsa.

[03:00] You can be in Sport Plus and do whatever you need to do, I don't care. we'll see how much faster it is in Sport Plus. Because don't forget, this car is now going to be quicker and his he got no gear to change so it should be the same right Go on sir here we come I going to go into second gear 3 2 1 go

[03:25] Come on, this is so close! Knack and knack, absolutely knack and knack accelerator. Oh, this is going fast! This is going fast!

[03:41] Oh what's happening now? I'm on the second leg of the gear change! Wait a minute! 234, 236! Oh!

[03:55] Oh! I'm still on the line! I hit the limiter! I'm just going on the line, I'm so lucky! I've lost the gear change and he's at odd speed it's almost like he's backed off

[04:07] What happened? What happened? Oh I think I know. Hey Keenan, I don't suppose your car has a speed limiter does it? I'm not sure but it says from the you know public information it says it's limited to 230.

[04:20] I think I cannot speed some limiter at 237. If you hadn't hit that limiter you would have won because I flushed the gear change so that was a lucky victory for me. However I'm not going to cock up next time. I'll meet you back on the start line we'll see what's what. Right Keenan what we're

[04:36] we're going to do now is a rolling race from about 10 miles an hour first gear over the half mile and I'm not going to mess up any gear changes to get ready. 3, 2, 1

[04:53] I'm definitely faster in terms of power response. He's ahead of me, can I win him back in? Ah, the pickup of the 2.0 GARDIAN in the red rain, the unison moment, the reaction of my

[05:09] electric motor is really really amazing. We're going to hit the limit for a minute, it's 2.0 GARDIAN, I'm going in now! Okay, I won! Woohoo! I was just too far down in my red range, down in first gear and each

[05:34] shut off, there's no that problem, instant torque with 3 electric motors, blimey, 1400 blumming Newton meters, blimey, blimey, now if you want to compare these cars stats, here's hit the table, just pause the video.

[05:46] Next challenge. I bet you're pleased with that aren't you? Yeah, yeah, actually from the response of this electric motor it was really insane. Instantaneous. I know, but don't forget, we're going to go to the drag race in a second

[05:59] and I've already won one, you'd better be prepared. Before that though, there's another challenge which I think might go in my favour. It's a brake test, 100 miles an hour. You ready? Let's try. Ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha

[06:12] Yeah I think it's really difficult for me to in a break task to outperform you It's almost not possible That's the supercar Matt! Oh we shall see Ha ha ha ha ha ha ha That's 700 miles an hour, get level with me mate

[06:25] Now give a right watch to the drag race The Chinese start pick up on the pop up not coming to our coast Here comes the phones now

[06:43] Mate, you must have broke him early, for sure. Yeah, I think slightly earlier. OK, I'll meet you back up there. Let's have another go, let's do it fairly. Right, I hope that he did break too early, If he wins again, that's going to be humiliating for me.

[06:56] Right, the codes are coming up now. Into it in 3, 2, 1...

[07:17] This time is actually spot on. Just closer? Let's do the tug race. This is what it's all about everybody, the drag racing.

[07:57] 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1

[08:09] 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 Woohoo! Yeah, it's not too slow. Hey Don!

[08:21] Hey, did you get me Don? There's no way I can win the next ride. That's why I'm high. So I think I'm slightly slower at the reaction. So you have to really go 3 to 1 with the 1 to press the acceleration pedal.

[08:44] Otherwise it's slow for sure. Yeah, that's right. So you need to be on it. I was on it and that's why you got beat. But I'm not sure you'll win anyway. This thing's too fast.

[08:56] Yeah, but obviously there is another button I haven't pushed. So that's called boost. So it might be faster. That's right. Boost button, eh? Well, he thinks it might be faster. We'll find out, won't we? OK, Keenan. Well, you'd better hope that your boost button works this time because I've got two.

[09:12] I just need one more and it's victory to the Lamborghini. and he can take that big heavy lump away from the dragster

[09:27] Come on, come on! Oh God! OK

[09:41] No no no no no no Further acceleration I breathing him in a bit but I don think I going to get it Ahhh

[09:57] That is my best one yet. I was just a bit too late, he went before me. But that time was like banging. Oh my goodness. Oh my goodness. Best work there, Keenan. I think you went off a little bit earlier than me.

[10:11] I could have done better on my launch. The actual launch itself, the way it hooked and went up the runway was great, but my reaction was a bit delayed compared to you. This is going to be so close. 2-1 to me, Keenan. You still need to win this one to stay in the game.

[10:24] No pressure. No again.

[10:41] I never forget that noise when I'm in a... I'm sure I'm getting a fucking bad hang out!

[11:11] My problem is there's a delay on this. You lift off the brake and there's a pause and then it goes. So trying to time it right is quite tricky. If I time it right though, I don't know which one's going to win.

[11:23] Right, good news for you, bad news for me. I was a bit behind on the launch. It means it's two to you, two to me. We're all square. Right, Canaan, this is it. Whichever car wins this race is the overall winner.

[11:36] If we can match the launches side by side, we'll genuinely see which is the quickest. Good luck.

[11:48] Close up. Come on. Nice start.

[12:06] I'm just ahead, I'm just going to do it.

[12:26] Wow that was so close, I think we launched it at the exact same time, it was amazing. Yeah, I think I lucked and I couldn't have done better. Nor me. I think that's a fair result.

[12:38] These cars are so closely matched. But the Lamborghini just edged it out. Wow! So then what exactly happened? Well, the Lamborghini just about beat the Z-Cup, but both cars completed the stunning quarter mile in 10.6 seconds.

[12:54] I hope you enjoyed the video. If you did, give it a like. And if you want to suggest some other drag races for us to do, let us know in the comments. Thanks for watching. We'll see you next time.
