New 911 Turbo S vs Ferrari 296: DRAG RACE

We're drag racing the all-new Porsche 911 Turbo S against a Ferrari 296 GTB over the 1/4-mile and 1/2-mile. We'll likewise compare the two in a 100mph brake test.

Explore new and secondhand cars and truck handle Carwow:

It's a Germany vs Italy drag race!

We've got Mat in the brand new Porsche 911 Turbo S, and he's lining up versus Sam in the Ferrari 296 GTB!

The concern is, can this all-new Turbo S follow in the steps of its predecessor and end up being the brand-new king of the Carwow drag strip? Let's have a look at the statistics …

Beginning with the Porsche, it's powered by a 3.6-litre twin-turbo flat-six hybrid, and this puts down 711hp and 800Nm. This power is sent to all 4 wheels, and it weighs in at 1,740 kg.

When it comes to the 296, it's powered by a 3-litre twin-turbo V6 combined with an electric motor. The two integrate to produce 830hp and 740Nm, with this power sent to the rear wheels just! It weighs in at 1,558 kg, and as new, it costs ₤ 259,575.

So the Ferrari may have more power and be lighter, however it's just rear wheel drive! Will that prove decisive in the race? There's only one way to learn … LET'S RACE!

    296 has to have the most insane gear ratio EVER !!

      I don’t think it’s gear ratios per say, just boost by gear I’m sure. Like McLaren’s. Could be wrong

      ​@ByandagaraTV – I think you’re right. Pretty sure there’s an electric motor in the gearbox

      @ByandagaraTV Ferrari does limit torque on lower (like 1-4) gears since 488GTB.

    Istg bro Ferrari understated the Power of the 296, I saw a video of a stock 296 pushing 840 to the wheels on the dyno!

      Yes. But it’s messy now. We have 1/4 at the beginning and then roll race and then again a 1/4 race. Should be in order

      ​@ataipacquiao5713 even tho it seems messy, it probably is the best format to get the best performance out of the cars

      @kiabtoomlauj6249

      Yeah, the NOISE POLLUTION “testing” is just so low IQ, time shouldn’t be wasted on it. What really counts is: how FAST could you could a giant mass of metals, plastics, and human weight from point A to point B. It should be pure physics: how DIFFERENT engineering teams — from 5 guys working in their garage to giant international heavy industry companies — are able to tune a set of WHEELS & their weight they carry, from A to B, using Bronze Age internal combustion or electricity.

      I know what you’re saying but your car is a dream car the majority of the people in the comments. So congratulations on owning such a beautiful car. Fingers crossed if my numbers ever come in I’ve always said it would be a 911i would order first. Congrats again and enjoy that engineering marvel.
