.............................................................
This might just be the best Porsche drag race line-up of all time!
We’ve got Mat lining up in his Porsche 911 Turbo S, and he’s about to go head-to-head against one of the most expensive Porsches around - the 918 Spyder!
Naturally, the stats on both of these cars are absolutely insane! Starting with the 911 Turbo, it’s powered by a 3.8-litre twin-turbo flat-six which is good for 650hp and 800Nm of torque. It tips the scales at 1,640kg, and if you’re looking to pick one up, it’ll cost you around £169,000.
But trust us, that’s nothing compared to the 918 Spyder. If you’re looking to buy one of those now it’ll set you back at least £1,300,000! But that’s not all, it’s also up on power compared to the Turbo S! Its 4.6-litre naturally-aspirated V8 also comes with two electric motors, which combine to put down 887hp and 1,280Nm! It is slightly heavier though, weighing in at 1,675kg.
So how will this one play out - an easy win for the 918 Spyder? Or could the Turbo S snatch it? There’s only one way to find out - LET’S RACE!

That 911 is truly one of a kind. It's just amazing.

[@lesegorampou5258]

Always great races Matt, but can you please invest in lights start instead of hands drop. It will make it easy to launch.

[@Odin851]

I didn’t know the 918 had a 4.6L V8 making 599HP. That’s insane in itself

[@dtprodrive]

Need a traffic light system ( tree ) so everyone can go on green. Problem with mat is he makes the race about himself and his reactions by always trying to get the jump. But you’ve got to remember it’s a competition between the cars not the people who have a unfair disadvantage to the start

@@rievnt indeed... It just shows how much technology has moved forwards in a short space of time.. For 911 to be 2/10'ths slower on the drag race is mighty impressive :)

[@purwantiallan5089]

@@anthonydeas2173 yep. Even 911 can beat Super GT500 cars in drag races with ease.

[@yusufgta4341]

Not entirely true. The Shelby GT500 abd 992 would be close in a roll race. The Shelby GT500 even keeps up with the Lamborghini aventador like the 992 turbo S. We don't have a proper video on KZbin yet of the 992 turbo S and GT500 in a roll race. Hopefully that happens soon

[@yusufgta4341]

People underestimate the GT500 because it's a Mustang and slightly heavier than average. The DCT in the Shelby GT500 is super quick. If the 992 turbo S keeps up and evenly match in a roll with the demon and the GT500 does the same, then they'll be close. No doubt the turbo S will win a drag race due to AWD and rear engine layout.
