The Driveway

We’re going to drag race two 1000hp supercars over the 1/4-mile from a standing start, a rolling race across the 1/2-mile, and a brake test. Let's meet the contenders…  Nissan GT-R 1000hp 1150Nm 1,750kg 3.8-litre twin-turbo V6 AWD £90,000  Ferrari SF90 1,000hp 800Nm 1,570kg 4-litre twin-turbo V8 + 3 electric motors AWD £400,000

00:00So I want to see if you can beat the awesome Ferrari SF90 in a drag race with a Nissan GTR

00:07that's been tuned that costs significantly less. So let me tell you about this GTR. So it has a

00:163.8 litre twin turbo V6 engine that puts out in this case 1000 horsepower and 1150 newton meters

00:24of torque because the engine has been forged by JM Imports. They've also done a load of other

00:30things, the ECU, the turbochargers, the exhaust systems, loads and loads of stuff. All the changes

00:35though do nothing to the car's weight. It still weighs in at 1750 kilos. Tell me about the car

00:41because actually the way it's engineered is confusing isn't it? Yeah so it's an internal

00:47combustion engine but not only obviously it's a 4 litre V8 but it also has two electric motors that

00:52give it this boost. It has a 1000 horsepower and 800 newton meters. It is savagely fast. Do you

00:59know how much that thing weighs though? I believe it's a little bit under 1600 kilograms. Listen

01:05to this let's actually race. Three, two, one.

01:12Do you want to do the best two out of three? Absolutely. Three, two, one.

01:33Do you want to do the best two out of three? Absolutely. Three, two, one.

01:38Do you want to do the best two out of three?

01:43Oh, yes! Yes, yes, yes, yes, yes, yes, yes. What the ****?

01:52So then what exactly happened?

02:09Well the Nissan won, completing the standing quarter mile in 9.5 seconds, while the Ferrari

02:14took 9.7 seconds.

02:16You ready for a rolling race?

02:17Absolutely.

02:183, 2, 1, go.

02:20Oh, he kicked out now, hello.

02:23Come on, catch him up, come on.

02:29I'm catching, will I catch him before the half mile, where is it?

02:39Come on GTR.

02:42It looked like me, to be honest.

02:443, 2, 1, go.

02:53Come on, can I beat him to the half mile, catch him up.

03:01Catch him up.

03:03Oh Daniel, actually that took off even quicker that time.

03:07I won't do one last time because there's a little cheat you can do with this car to improve

03:12the initial take off.

03:14What I have to do is press the cancel button, floor the accelerator, and allow the car to

03:18build boost without actually accelerating.

03:20Then when I release the cancel button, it will allow it to accelerate until it should be on full

03:24boost and I should get better take off.

03:27So maybe then I can beat you.

03:29Let's try it.

03:303, 2, press and cancel.

03:321, go.

03:34Yes!

03:35It works!

03:38It works!

03:42Oh yeah!

03:54Finally then we have a brake test from 100 miles an hour.

03:57We reach line, full emergency stop.

03:59Car which stops in the shortest distance, wins.

04:01I think I might lose this, but you never know.

04:03Here we go.

04:12What the ****?

04:19Okay, did you brake properly Daniel?

04:22What happened?

04:23Yeah, I hit the brake full on.

04:26I just didn't expect that.

04:27No, it doesn't make sense.

04:28How can the bigger, fatter car stop better?

04:32What?

04:33Has Nathan upgraded the brakes on this car?

04:35Yes, he's upgraded the brakes.

04:37And that'll be why I won!
