[00:00] Turbo S Hybrid and first 911 that was a hybrid, the GTS? Well, we're going to [music] You're watching Carwow.

[00:14] So, both these cars have 3.6 L hybrid engines. However, this Turbo S has two electric turbochargers and it produces 711 horsepower, whereas the GTS has one horsepower. Now, if you want to compare the stats, pause the video now. If not,

[00:32] ready. Cold tires, stability control off. Caught napping off the line, but oh, pulling past. No!

[00:51] Lots of wheel spin there. It was brutal. Oh my god.

[01:04] Wow. This is quick. what I was doing. I was too busy just not really caring cuz I got so much

[01:18] power. And I have got a lot of power. Yeah, knowing you're in that rocket, I like that. Oh my god. It's going to be interesting to see what happens the

[01:30] races. What are we going to do? A 50-mph roll-on over the half mile. Cars are going to be in automatic mode and normal driving mode, just like you're chilling.

[01:43] We're going to see the response of these engines. 3 2 1 go. What? Oh, kick down. Why?

[01:57] How? No. Yes. Yes. No. Yes.

[02:11] NO. YES, that's it. Blimey. Let's set the gearbox out the equation and do it just a pull in third gear,

[02:26] full sports mode, manual settings. Before we do our racing, Sam, shall we do a sound check? Have a listen to my engine. Enjoy my soft limiter. Enjoy it.

[02:42] I think this sounds a bit more fruity. A bit deeper. All right, let's race. Third gear, roll on, manual mode, sporty setting, which is sport plus, FYI. Let's do it. 3 2 1 go.

[02:58] Oh, yes.

[03:11] NO. [screaming] That's it, isn't it? That's it right there. Look at that go.

[03:29] Wow. The response on this was incredible. But, that's not the main thing. It's the way the speed just keeps keeps building. It's mad. I I I just increasing the gap,

[03:44] wasn't I? >> Yeah, like I was doing 150 mph across >> That's cuz I was doing like 170 or something ridiculous. It's just mad. The response was crazy. We're going to roll into this race, first gear. It'll be

[03:59] about 10 mph. The starter will start us and we'll race over the half mile. This moment. >> 3 2 1

[04:13] >> [laughter] >> I was surprised.

[04:30] But now, look at the gap. Oh my god.

[04:43] 174 mph. Actually, I was not expecting that, Sam. You shot off so fast. But the response of your car for that initial, I don't know, 50 mph was mad. Yeah, it's

[04:56] really confusing cuz where I'm sat, this is really fast. And then you're just wasn't, but good god. >> You know what? Let's just try that again. And it might have just been my reaction compared to your reaction.

[05:10] 1 >> That was more like it.

[05:23] >> [laughter]

[05:41] >> And again, 174. >> Tesla Model S plaid, unfortunately. >> No, I said a car on the planet.

[05:57] >> What do you mean? You said a fridge. >> Correct. That's for storing produce. do a break test, right? Before we do some more drag racing. So, my car's heavier than yours, 1.7 tons. Yours is just under 1.6.

[06:19] Come on. Oh! Well, it was close. >> No, I won. need to reveal about your car, Sam.

[06:33] Wow. How was it doing that? God, this is so quick.

[06:48] My goodness. LOOK AT IT GO. WHAT A DIFFERENCE.

[07:04] I'm making myself feel sick. >> That is so fast. What time is that the time. I have this thing else to reveal. four-wheel drive. >> Not that this needs to be said, but

[07:20] formal protest. This comes in four-wheel drive, yet I'm miraculously in the >> That's actually the car that Porsche gave us because they don't have the four-wheel drive one. But, how did it feel in terms of the launch?

[07:33] >> To make you feel better about things, let's swap seats. >> [clears throat] >> Put the seat back. Matthew no legs Watson.

[07:54] Oh, yeah. Two riding trucks and limited. >> [screaming]

[08:08] >> Look at that go. What the

[08:20] have it. >> Yes, this is definitely [laughter] >> Shall we compare the times? >> Let's do it. [music] >> So, then what exactly happened? Well, the Turbo S won. It completed the

[08:33] standing quarter mile in 10.1 seconds. The Carrera GTS took 11 seconds. And that begs the question, how quick would the Carrera GTS be if it also had four-wheel drive? Well, click on the video window right now to watch me drag

[08:46] race the Carrera 4 GTS against the BMW M4 CS. It's one of the closest battles I've ever had, and I think you'll be surprised by just how quick both cars channel cuz we have some absolute bangers coming out soon. And as ever,

[09:01] the Turbo S, I think.
