00:003, 4, 4
00:04G'day, I'm Paul.
00:13It feels weird doing it on this side.
00:14This is a left-hand drive car.
00:15Normally, I'm sitting over there.
00:17We're about to do quite an expensive drag race.
00:20We're going to drag race a car called a Lamborghini Cian,
00:24which is like a one of 63,
00:26against the Lamborghini Countach.
00:28It was like a controversial rerun of the historic Countach that existed ages and ages ago.
00:35Elborz, run me through that, and then I'll run you through this.
00:38Well, I mean, they're pretty much the same car, actually.
00:41So, this is one of 112.
00:43This is a Countach Indy.
00:446.5 litre V12 from the SVJ.
00:47599 kilowatts and 720 newton metres.
00:50You know, the funny thing is, both these cars will do 0 to 100 in 2.8 seconds.
00:54So, I actually think this is going to be super close.
00:57Yes, well, you know, this is basically the internals of this went into that,
01:03and then they kind of then changed a bit to make the Revulto.
01:06So, yeah, it's kind of like a bit of an interesting package.
01:09Now, this also has quite an interesting setup.
01:11It's a 48-volt supercapacitor, and effectively it teems a little electric motor to help propel this even faster and further.
01:19So, it will be interesting to see how that goes, because this is a ballistic engine as it is,
01:23and it's made into a 7-speed automated manual.
01:25And the gear shifts in these are typically, like, neck-snappingly fast.
01:29So, I'll be keen to see how this goes.
01:31I'm going to give a massive shout-out to Caltex, who are helping us put this on.
01:34This is an expensive event.
01:35Without their support, none of this would be possible.
01:37And also, our mate Lawrence.
01:39They're his cars.
01:40He's got lots of other cars like this, but these are his.
01:43So, we really appreciate his support, loaning us these cars and trusting us down this runway.
01:48This is how this is going to work.
01:49We've got a quarter-mile set up in front of us.
01:51We're going to do the run from a standing start.
01:53Then, we're going to come back and do a rolling race.
01:56And then, I'm just going to be quiet so you can hear this go across the quarter-mile.
01:59So, all you need to do is listen to the exhaust and see the numbers.
02:03And I think these are going to be very closely matched.
02:05Megan, feel free to count us in when you're ready.
02:08All right, here we go.
02:09Launching on go.
02:113, 2, 1, go.
02:161, go.
02:19Come on.
02:20Come on.
02:24Oh, my God.
02:27Come on.
02:28Oh, he's winning.
02:29Oh, my God.
02:34Oh, he's winning.
02:39Oh, my God.
02:45Oh, my God.
02:50Oh, my God.
02:52Oh, my God.
02:53What a ridiculous race.
02:55That is literally like $10 million of cars going down the road.
02:59That is genuinely scary, actually.
03:01Wow.
03:02I'm actually, actually lost for words.
03:07I don't know what happened there, but that was something else.
03:09The launch and the gear shifts.
03:14Like, I think there's probably cars that are quicker than this, like, on numbers, but that
03:21experience is something else.
03:22Man, what an insane thing to do.
03:24This is like $10 million worth of cars going down this runway.
03:27It's insane that it's literally just the same thing wearing a different coloured paint job,
03:32basically, and just astronomical prices.
03:36But, wow, that was something else.
03:38Should we do one more run just to be 100% sure?
03:41Yes, indeed.
03:41All right, Megan, count us in.
03:46Here we go.
03:47Oh, ho, ho, ho, ho.
03:49Three, one, two, one.
03:51Oh, ho, ho, ho, ho, ho.
03:58Oh, ho, ho, ho, ho.
04:00Come on, baby.
04:04Come on, baby.
04:05Yes.
04:07Come on.
04:08Oh, basically a dead heat on the start.
04:11Look at this.
04:11Look at this.
04:12Oh, ho, ho, ho.
04:17Oh, ho, ho.
04:19Oh, ho, ho, ho.
04:28Oh, ho, ho.
04:33Oh, ho.
04:35That was, I don't actually know who won.
04:46That was perfect.
04:48Oh, my God.
04:50That was so close.
04:52I don't think we have ever had a drag race that close.
04:55Who won?
04:56I think what's obvious is that both these cars are the same.
04:59Yeah.
05:00I love that it's taken us at $10 million worth of cars
05:04and a runway and a lot of logistics
05:06to prove what we could have proven on a piece of paper.
05:10But have you ever seen a piece of paper look so good?
05:13All right.
05:13I think we need to go to Sean over here
05:15just to triple check.
05:17Sean, who is the daddy?
05:18I'm going to call that a dead heat.
05:21We literally left at the exact same time.
05:24Like, there was nothing in it.
05:26Coming down, you were ahead.
05:29And then right at the very last second,
05:30the Quintosh caught up.
05:32And as best I can tell from this,
05:34without going in frame by frame,
05:36it's dead heat.
05:38Sean, how much is Elbows paying you?
05:41I was pretty convinced that I had actually won,
05:44to be honest.
05:44So I'm surprised that that was a dead heat.
05:46I thought my, I stuck my tongue out and everything.
05:49Well, that was awesome.
05:50All right, let's go and do a roll race now,
05:52see if we get the same result.
05:54G'day, I'm Paul.
05:54We are filming our next Drag Race series,
05:57where we take some of the fastest cars on the road
05:59and pit them up against each other
06:01to see which is quickest.
06:02The cars we're running today are powered
06:04by premium 98 Keltex with Tecron.
06:07Keltex with Tecron has been scientifically proven
06:09to help clean and protect engines.
06:11A clean engine helps maximize power and acceleration,
06:15providing better fuel economy,
06:16reliable performance,
06:17and delivering a smoother drive.
06:19Head to keltex.com slash au for more information
06:22and I'll see you on the finish line.
06:24Okay, so now we're going to do a rolling race.
06:27We're going to go to 50 k's an hour.
06:28Elbows, first or second?
06:30Uh, I don't actually know.
06:33Hey, I think first, but it shifts so rapidly
06:35that I'll have to be in manual
06:36and I'm going to try automatic first time.
06:38Automatic?
06:39But it'll kick back.
06:40Well, I'm hoping it'll stay in second
06:42and then I think that should be okay.
06:43I don't know.
06:44I'm just going to give it a go.
06:45All right, well, I'll manually select second
06:47and we'll see what happens.
06:48I presume it'll be a dead heat.
06:50But anyway, let's go.
06:52Ah, here we go.
06:53Oh, yeah, baby.
07:18That was not a dead heat.
07:26Oh.
07:28That was not a dead heat at all.
07:30So, I'm just theorizing here,
07:33but what happens when we take off typically in these
07:36is we use launch control
07:37and the car does all the work, really.
07:39Um, but when it comes to the roll race,
07:41it requires some talent and skill
07:43and that talent and skill
07:46is unfortunately unmatched
07:48and we get to these instances
07:50where you just run out of that talent and skill.
07:54Anyway, that was good.
07:55Okay, let's try that one more time.
07:57I'll do full manual this time.
07:59All right, all right.
08:01All right, elbows.
08:02It's your time to shine.
08:03So, second gear, Corsa.
08:05We're identically matched here.
08:07Let's see how this goes.
08:08Make sure you're close to me as well.
08:10All right, here we go.
08:11Let's see how this goes.
08:42Honestly.
08:54Oh, that's so close.
08:59These shifts are so violent.
09:01I wish you could be in here with me to feel that.
09:04All right, these cars are basically the same.
09:06It's just coming down to reaction times.
09:08They are honestly out of control.
09:11All righty.
09:13Well, that settles that.
09:16Okay, I think that car,
09:17given that it has a little bit more power,
09:19is actually a little bit more powerful.
09:21That's my excuse.
09:22Now, your kids don't watch this, do they?
09:23They do.
09:24So, please be kind in the comments.
09:26Maybe they can skip this one.
09:30Now, this is where I'm going to throw it to the part
09:32where I'm just going to be quiet
09:33and you get to hear what these cars sound like
09:36accelerating down the quarter mile.
09:38I'm going to throw it to the part where I'm going to throw it to the part where I'm going to throw it to the part where I'm going to throw it to the part where I'm going to throw it to the part where I'm going to throw it to the part where I'm going to throw it to the part where I'm going to throw it to the part where I'm going to throw it to the part where I'm going to throw it to the part where I'm going to throw it to the part where I'm going to throw it to the part where I'm going to throw it to the part where I'm going to throw it to the part where I'm going to throw it.
09:48so
10:08yeah
10:18That was genuinely something else. I don't think we'll ever get to experience anything like that
10:42again. We've done a stack of these drag races, so if you do want to check them out,
10:46make sure you subscribe to the channel and press the bell icon. And on top of that,
10:50big shout out again to Caltex for helping us put this on. Come and visit the Legends here at
10:55Wildcatchen. Lovely little town, two and a half hours out of Perth. Make sure you drop by, get a
11:00pie. Some beautiful shops in town as well. Thank you once again for watching. If you did enjoy the
11:05video, please make sure you share it with your mates. But until next time, take it easy.
