1,500hp for £50k! But can it beat a Ferrari SF90 XX?

We want to state a big thank you to the Abu Dhabi government, Al Ain Town () and Tilal Swaihan () for offering the incredible drag strip, developed to the greatest standards to ensure safe racing and car proving away from the general public roads.

Thanks, too, goes to Super Cars Majlis () for welcoming its amazing members along and providing the automobiles you see in our videos.

Also, a huge thanks goes to Ryan Griffiths at Syvecs () for his substantial help in arranging these races!

… … … … … … … … … … … … … … … …… Modification your car with Carwow: Mat and the

team have flown over to Dubai to race
a Ferrari SF90 XX versus a Xiaomi SU7 Ultra! The question is, does this brand new Ferrari have what it takes to beat an all-electric Chinese supercar? Let's take a better look at the statistics. Beginning with the Xiaomi, it's powered by 3 electrical motors, and

these combine to produce 1,548 hp and 1,770 Nm. This power is sent out to all 4 wheels, and the vehicle weighs in at a large 2,360 kg. However, it's extremely cheap, with the cost of the car in China relating to simply ₤ 56,000! When it comes to the Ferrari, well it's a great deal more expensive- costing ₤ 670,000! It's powered by a 4-litre twin-turbo V8 that develops 797hp and 804Nm. Nevertheless, much like the Xiaomi, it features 3 electric motors, with the power from the engine and motors combining to produce 1,030 hp! It's likewise a whole lot lighter than the Xiaomi, tipping the scales at 1,660 kg. So does the much-lighter Ferrari stand a possibility? There's just one method to discover … LET'S

RACE!

      @biboKralle

      Nah, to keep the price fair go for Chiron vs one of Rimac’s cars – but then it is again too easy for electric to win.

      I’m sure the cost of the phone is baked into the cars price, so not really free

      @PalleRunquist LOL It’s a joke, does not really come with a phone You can probably ask for a package deal where you still pay majority the price of the phone.

      @TechInfo-ul4xrnobody cares, Tesla can do the same if they wanted, anyone can make a 2000 or 3000hp electric car, no one cares. It’s a vacuum. That is unusable power on the road anyway.

      530.000 Yuan are around 76k$. I dont know where you take under 50k from, its even more in £. And its the Chinese market price.
