3:56[00:00] What will win in a drag race between a
[00:01] new Lamborghini Temerario and a Ferrari
[00:04] SF90? Well, we're going to find out by
[00:06] racing them over the standing quarter
[00:07] mile. I'm Mat Watson [music]
[00:09] and you're watching carwow.
[00:13] So, this is going to be interesting.
[00:15] Both these cars, 4-liter twin-turbo V8,
[00:17] three electric motors. This Lamborghini
[00:19] has 920 horsepower. That Ferrari has
[00:21] 1,000 horsepower and it's being driven
[00:24] by my friend Mark McCann. Hello. How are
[00:26] you?
[00:27] >> Hello. How are you? Good to see you
[00:28] again. It's been a while.
[00:29] >> It's been a while. Normally, you're in a
[00:31] Lamborghini, but today you're in a
[00:32] Ferrari. Do you think you're going to
[00:33] win?
[00:34] >> This car is so fast and so clever. If
[00:37] it's beaten, I'm not going to say I'm
[00:38] surprised cuz we're 6 years further down
[00:40] the line with that car, but it's going
[00:42] to take some beating.
[00:43] >> Yeah, but that's in the class above.
[00:44] It's more expensive. This is the
[00:45] entry-level Lamborghini. That's the
[00:47] higher-level Ferrari. Let's get into it
[00:49] though, Mark. Let's not mess about.
[00:50] Let's do a drag race.
[00:52] >> 3
[00:53] 2
[00:54] 1
[00:59] >> Oh, got him off the line.
[01:01] >> Oh, he's had a better launch.
[01:07] >> Can he catch me up?
[01:08] >> Come on. Stop spinning.
[01:14] >> Oh, no chance.
[01:18] Oh!
[01:21] He's coming, but not too little, too
[01:22] late.
[01:25] Oh, he's going to be so happy now.
[01:32] Oh dear, Mark. What happened?
[01:34] >> I've got something in the tank. Don't
[01:35] you worry. I'm just lulling you into a
[01:36] false sense of security so I could see
[01:38] that lovely smile.
[01:40] >> And then it's all going to come back.
[01:41] >> Well, I'm not sure about that. Honestly,
[01:43] this car is quicker than that is. Let's
[01:45] do some other racing first. 1-0 to the
[01:47] Lamborghini. I'm nervous. Oh, my hands
[01:49] are shaking.
[01:50] >> My body's shaking. It always does now.
[01:52] At that age. All right then, Mark. What
[01:54] we're going to do now is a rolling race
[01:56] in sport mode and automatic mode for the
[01:59] gearbox. I'll set the pace at 50 miles
[02:01] an hour. We're going to race to the half
[02:02] mile. 3 2 1 go.
[02:07] What?
[02:08] Oh gone.
[02:16] What? Oh, no.
[02:26] Absolutely gone.
[02:31] It's not
[02:32] Oh, that just keeps
[02:34] I can't believe it.
[02:38] So, this car changed down like I'd
[02:40] expect a car to change down. Yours, it's
[02:42] like someone's flicked it. It just went
[02:44] ting.
[02:45] >> It felt just as fast even in that other
[02:47] mode. It's sort of like new interchange.
[02:49] That's what's so clever. This car is
[02:51] just like a a computer genius.
[02:53] >> It is. It just knows exactly what you
[02:54] want it to do and it does it. So, I'm
[02:56] going to get rid of my excuse of the
[02:57] gearbox. We're going to do that again,
[02:58] but this time third gear roll on, manual
[03:00] mode, sport your setting. Let's go. 3 2
[03:03] 1 go.
[03:04] Look at that SF90 go.
[03:11] Oh, this car. Oh, bad gear changes as
[03:14] well.
[03:22] It's not a massive difference.
[03:27] This car is flipping right.
[03:30] So quick. Look at it.
[03:32] Wow.
[03:42] I mean, this has a lot of speed, but
[03:45] that just has more. I mean, this is
[03:47] incredible when you compare it to the
[03:49] Huracan. You know, if we're doing
[03:50] back-to-back with a Huracan, you can see
[03:52] a massive step change, but that step
[03:53] change was taken by Ferrari years ago.
[03:56] >> Yeah, that's the thing. I feel like for
[03:58] the money where this is, to beat this
[04:00] car is going to be a 2-3 million pound
[04:02] hypercar.
[04:03] >> Yeah, exactly. It's right. All right,
[04:05] first gear roll on from 10 mph to start
[04:07] with starters. Before that though, let's
[04:08] just do a quick sound check. See which
[04:10] car sounds the best. Rev up your car,
[04:11] Mark.
[04:18] >> Not bad.
[04:19] >> I think this sounds better.
[04:30] >> Does it though?
[04:31] >> Yeah, ex-mine goes all the way up to 10.
[04:32] Yours doesn't. Soft limits it, doesn't
[04:34] it?
[04:37] >> Eight.
[04:38] >> In fact, I think that the 296 sounds
[04:40] better than the SF90, to tell you the
[04:41] truth. Anyway, let's do this race.
[04:43] Before then, if you're thinking about
[04:44] selling your car, you can do it through
[04:46] Carwow, dead easy. You just upload some
[04:47] photos of your car, give a description,
[04:49] and then dealers from all across the
[04:50] country will bid on it. Find out more
[04:51] about that now, just click on the
[04:53] description or the pop-out banner, or
[04:55] scan the QR code. Alternatively, just
[04:56] Google Help Me Carwow. We will help you
[04:58] sell your car.
[05:00] >> Three.
[05:01] Two.
[05:02] One.
[05:05] >> Respectable all right. Oh, good gear
[05:07] change.
[05:13] Oh!
[05:15] Here he comes.
[05:27] Mark has come past now.
[05:30] Here we go.
[05:35] Not massive gap.
[05:40] Right, it was close. But you did just
[05:42] ease past and stay ahead. How fast were
[05:44] you going over the line?
[05:45] >> 180, 181, 182, That sort of figure. Oh,
[05:49] >> saw 185 on mine.
[05:52] That was
[05:53] intense. Remember,
[05:55] it's 1-0 to me. We're going to go to the
[05:57] drag race now, but let's just do one
[05:58] last bit of warming up our tires so
[06:00] we're good to go by doing a quick brake
[06:01] test from 100 mph. Now, if you'd rather
[06:03] watch another drag race, click on the
[06:04] pop-out banner there or scan the QR code
[06:06] on screen now.
[06:20] Blimey, this car is heavier, but that is
[06:23] quite a difference, isn't it? Don't you
[06:24] think?
[06:24] >> But, you know, when you have like the
[06:26] next lunge, mine just about stopped for
[06:28] the next lunge on the ABS, so
[06:29] >> No, though. Our tires should be warm.
[06:31] Let's get back to the drag racing.
[06:34] >> Three.
[06:35] Two.
[06:36] One.
[06:40] >> Oh, he's got a better launch than me.
[06:45] Oh, he's got him. He hasn't been off for
[06:47] ages, and he got a better launch.
[06:55] I can do so much better than that.
[06:57] Where's the cones?
[07:10] Yes.
[07:12] First one to me, Ken.
[07:14] >> That was really interesting. So, in the
[07:15] first race earlier on, I got a better
[07:16] launch than you. My reaction was better,
[07:18] but this time, complete role reversal.
[07:20] Yours was quicker. It's one each.
[07:22] >> Ooh, it's getting exciting.
[07:25] >> Three.
[07:26] Two.
[07:27] One.
[07:33] >> Slightly better launch. I'm ahead of
[07:34] him. Come on.
[07:36] Oh, I've got a bit of spin.
[07:41] Come on, you little
[07:44] Oh, this is good. This is close.
[07:50] Oh, no, he's just edging ahead.
[07:52] >> Oh, look at that Ferrari power.
[07:57] He's just going ahead.
[07:59] Oh my goodness.
[08:12] >> Oh, no. Do you know what that means?
[08:15] >> Does that mean I've won and I get a gold
[08:17] star?
[08:17] >> No, cuz it's best three out of five. It
[08:19] means I need to win the next one,
[08:21] otherwise then you have definitely won
[08:22] and you do get a gold star. I'll give
[08:24] you a diamond star, actually.
[08:25] >> No pressure. You just enjoy yourself.
[08:27] Don't put any pressure on yourself.
[08:29] >> Yeah, classic.
[08:30] >> Did you try to psych me out, Mr.
[08:32] McCarron?
[08:33] >> Imagine if you don't get this start
[08:34] quite right.
[08:35] >> Ooh, those tires are looking bold.
[08:37] >> That'll give me more traction. I'll be
[08:39] like I'm on slicks. Brilliant.
[08:41] >> Just remember, even though your car is
[08:43] old, it's still the more expensive
[08:45] version. It's from the tier above this.
[08:48] And it's close, Mark. I don't think this
[08:50] race, regardless, is doing much for SF90
[08:53] values.
[08:54] >> The The problem is, I don't mean like
[08:55] that thing looks amazing, but I feel
[08:58] like mine's already done the money and I
[09:00] didn't buy it new, so I feel like even
[09:01] in a depreciation battle, I think I'm
[09:04] still doing all right.
[09:06] >> How come you haven't had a Tamorario? I
[09:08] mean, you were always a Lambo fanboy.
[09:10] >> I think it's just the age of the new car
[09:12] now. That's my problem. I just feel like
[09:14] they're not as special as they were. I'm
[09:16] also worried about like the times and
[09:18] losing 70 grand, which literally that
[09:20] could I'm not saying it will, so don't
[09:22] sue me, Lamborghini, but it could lose a
[09:24] load of money and I'm I'm getting too
[09:25] old for that now.
[09:26] >> This is a man who's just spent a million
[09:28] quid on a broken Bugatti Veyron, but I
[09:31] actually think you're very shrewd, cuz
[09:33] that car will go up in value. Will this
[09:35] win the race, though? That's what we
[09:37] need to find out.
[09:44] Oh, that's a joke.
[09:45] >> You got me psyched out, Mark. You got me
[09:46] psyched out.
[09:47] >> If we were in the Olympics now running
[09:49] race, you'd be disqualified.
[09:50] >> I would say be disqualified.
[09:52] >> I feel like you've let yourself down.
[09:53] All that pressure which you are now
[09:55] under must be really getting to you.
[09:57] >> There is a slot a small river running
[10:00] down my back, Mark.
[10:01] >> Remember, don't go too early, but don't
[10:03] go too late.
[10:04] >> That's the thing. I know I need to time
[10:06] this perfectly. Otherwise, this car has
[10:09] no chance. If I time it perfectly and
[10:12] you don't, I could be in with a shot.
[10:22] >> Good launch.
[10:24] Oh.
[10:29] Oh no.
[10:32] >> [screaming]
[10:32] >> Yes, baby.
[10:43] >> [laughter]
[10:43] >> Come on. Oh, it's going to be so close.
[10:50] Oh, is he going to come back?
[10:53] Oh no.
[10:54] >> [singing and music]
[11:00] >> Oh, it's all to play for.
[11:05] >> I've got some bad news for you. This car
[11:07] just got quicker.
[11:08] >> I did spin, change gear, spin, change
[11:11] gear, spin. So, that was the worst this
[11:13] could ever do, and it was still close.
[11:15] >> Yeah, but if I get another one like I
[11:17] just got and you get another one like
[11:18] you just got, I'll win. This is the
[11:20] decider.
[11:21] >> Stop trying to psych me out. I know what
[11:22] you're like. This is the Birmingham in
[11:24] you.
[11:24] >> But you [laughter] just spent the last 5
[11:26] minutes psyching me out.
[11:28] >> Right, no more messing about now. I'm
[11:29] doing this properly now. This is my A
[11:31] game.
[11:32] >> Okay, um real talk now. Um I do feel
[11:34] slightly nervous, do you?
[11:35] >> Cuz stay at me.
[11:36] >> [laughter]
[11:38] >> But, I still feel like it's mine. If
[11:40] this gear changes, you've got no chance.
[11:43] Come on, Ferrari.
[11:44] >> Come on, Lamborghini.
[11:47] >> Three.
[11:50] Two.
[11:53] One.
[11:58] >> Oh, it's so close. Don't spin.
[12:04] Oh [screaming]
[12:06] >> Oh, he's got it. He's not spinning.
[12:19] Damn it. Yes. Yes. Yes. Yes.
[12:27] Oh, yes. SF90.
[12:30] Thank you, Ferrari.
[12:34] Right, everyone. Ready for the excuses.
[12:36] >> I had a moment of hope, but it was soon
[12:38] dashed the moment you just came past me.
[12:40] And then it was game over, wasn't it?
[12:42] >> I didn't have any wheel spin there, like
[12:44] the gear change. It's all about them
[12:45] gear changes. I'm shaking so bad. So so
[12:48] bad.
[12:49] >> That was a lot a lot a lot of fun. I
[12:51] really enjoyed that. The SF90 is still
[12:53] the daddy, but my god, for the
[12:55] entry-level Lamborghini, this thing is
[12:57] nuts, isn't it?
[12:58] >> It is, and that haven't they done well,
[12:59] cuz it looks absolutely stunning. You
[13:01] know, that hasn't even got all that
[13:03] arrow kit on and stuff, and it still
[13:04] looks beautiful. They've always made a
[13:06] good-looking car, that's for certain.
[13:07] >> But not good looking enough for you to
[13:09] want to buy one. Let's find out how
[13:11] quick these cars actually went. So then,
[13:13] what exactly happened? Well, the Ferrari
[13:15] won. It completed the standing quarter
[13:17] mile in 9.7 seconds. The Lamborghini
[13:20] took [music] 9.8 seconds.
[13:24] Huge thank you to Joe, uh who lent me
[13:26] this car. You want to check him out,
[13:27] he's got an Instagram channel called
[13:28] Affluent Time, right? Go follow him
[13:31] there. Listen, I hope you all enjoyed
