Thanks to ‪@Petrolheadonism‬ for supplying Tony and his 917 Spyder!
Introducing the pinnacle of car vs bike drag races - Porsche 918 Spyder vs Red Bull MotoGP bike!!
That’s right, we’ve finally got our hands on a 918 Spyder, and it’s going head-to-head over the quarter-mile against MotoGP legend Dani Pedrosa and a Red Bull KTM RC16 from the 2021 MotoGP season!
So let’s take a look at the stats - starting with the Porsche, it’s powered by a 4.6-litre naturally-aspirated V8, coupled with two electric motors, which combine to produce 887hp and 1,280Nm of torque! It’s equipped with all-wheel drive and tips the scales at 1,674kg.
But of course, the bike is oh-so-much lighter, with the bike and rider combining to weigh in at just 200kg! Its 1000cc engine can also put down 270hp.
So what do you think, will the bike walk it? Or will it be a photo finish? There’s only one way to find out - LET’S RACE!

@Damar Fadlan MotoGP restirctions. And, it's quite normal that what we see on the web about the GP bikes is not true at all. Even all the info in it. It has been outdated.I've observed that maybe in 2014 or 15 when HRC Vice pres. Shuhei Nakamoto was asked by one journalist about the horsepower of their Gp bike. Nakamoto-san just look at the guy, said something & just smiled. I think they aren't allowed to say the actual number or stuff the new components inside the bike to make it more quicker. Also, you see that bikes have more mapping, those are also affects its speed. There slow mapping there that allowed them to control the top speed in order to conserve the tires.

I've asked this many times, they don't do it. VBOX can and I've only seen it listed a few times on videos from carwow. Time without trap speed is almost irrelevant.

Dani was just having fun. MotoGP bikes can do 0-300kph in around 9-10 seconds and quarter mile typically in about 7. Top speeds usually around 220-230MPH. Just as some fun facts about these bikes. There was no race if Dani actually went full GP mode. Glad he kept it fun, speaks volumes to the absolute crazy power and driving abilities these guys have as MotoGP racers.
