Why turbos are POINTLESS

How's this for a V12 face-off!

We have actually got Mat in an Aston Martin Vanquish, and he's lining up against a Bentley Continental GT and a Ferrari 812 Superfast!

The question is, can one of these British brand names remove the mighty 812? Let's take a closer take a look at the stats …

Starting with the Aston, it's powered by a 5.2-litre twin-turbo V12 that puts down 835hp and 1,000 Nm. This power is sent to the rear wheels via an 8-speed auto transmission, and it tips the scales at 1,835 kg. New, it costs from โ‚ค 334,000.

Alongside it is the Bentley. It's loading a 6-litre twin-turbo W12 under the bonnet, and this develops 635hp and 900Nm. This power is sent out to all 4 wheels via an 8-speed auto transmission. It weighs in at 2,169 kg, so it's by far the heaviest cars and truck here, and as new it costs โ‚ค 230,000.

Lastly, we come to the Ferrari. It's powered by a 6.5-litre NA V12, and this creates 800hp and 718Nm. It has rear-wheel drive, a 7-speed automobile transmission, and it weighs just 1,630 kg. New, it costs from โ‚ค 253,000.

So the Aston has the most power, but will the lighter Ferrari snatch the win? There's only one way to learn for sure … LET'S RACE!

      Old format was better. First the info about the cars, than you can think what is faster and than the drag races. This is not so good. There is the Carwow drags channel for. Greetz from Holland.

      That’s the difference between a Ferrari and Bentley. A Bentley is still super fast but can be driven relaxed. 0.9 of a sec behind doesn’t matter you can do it in class and style.

      Properly would but actually thought the guy could drive considering it was raining and that V12 is amazing but takes skill to get off the line.

      Sam would however win the brake test by a country mile Lol

  12. @deaks25 Avatar
    @deaks25

    The 812 sounds like the angriest car ever. It’s like it was told that the V12 was dead, and has gone to the bar looking for a fight.
    Got to say, I prefer the old format of car intro, sound check and then race. The Drags channel exists if I want to watch the races straight away. I appreciate the work to try and keep things fresh and try new things, but it doesn’t flow right for me.
