Best-Sounding Drag Race EVER? Porsche Carrera GT v Lexus LFA

We're drag racing the Porsche Carrera GT and Lexus LFA over the quarter-mile and half-mile. We'll likewise be comparing the two in a brake test.

Check out brand-new and used vehicle handle Carwow:

It's time for the supreme Germany vs Japan face-off!

We have actually got our hands on the extraordinary Porsche Carrera GT, and it's facing off against among the most popular Japanese exports of all-time – the Lexus LFA!

The concern is, which of these famous V10s will triumph? Let's take a look at the statistics …

Starting with the Porsche, it's powered by a 5.7-litre naturally-aspirated V1- that provides 612hp and 590Nm. This power is sent out to the rear wheels only by means of a 6-speed handbook transmission, and the cars and truck weighs in at 1,380 kg. When it was very first launched, it cost around โ‚ค 330,000, but as of today, it's valued at about โ‚ค 2,000,000!

Next up, we have the Lexus LFA. It's powered by a 4.8-litre naturally-aspirated V10, and this produces 560hp and 480Nm. Power is sent to the rear wheels only via a 6-speed auto gearbox, and the vehicle tips the scales at โ‚ค 340,000. As new, it cost around โ‚ค 340,000, however as of today, it's valued at around โ‚ค 750,000.

So how will this play out – will the auto gearbox of the LFA power it to victory? Or will the extra power in the Porsche move it to the goal initially? There's just one method to learn for sure … LET'S RACE!

Thanks to everyone who helped establish this race:
– Porsche Carrera GT:
– Lexus LFA:

      If you want to hear like 30 seconds of V-10 screaming without going over the speed limit, just rent a U-Haul with the Ford Triton ๐Ÿ˜‚

      Both these sounds so epic a 3rd candidate would be the BMW M5 V10 and the top 3 podium is completed for best sounding cars

      Only the V10 F1 cars of early 2000s sound better than an LFA. Thatโ€™s it.

      Funny story about that. About 15 years ago, I was behind a black LFA in a pack, and we all knew the rear wing goes up at 55mph. It is unfortunately a dead giveaway that you’re on the sauce if the road you happen to be on is marked lower than that. ๐Ÿ˜„

    When an LFA drives by you, even your earwax goes up in value.
