It’s time for a head-to-head between the three fastest European SUVs!
We’ve got our hands on the all-new Porsche Cayenne Turbo Electric, and it’s going up against the Lamborghini Urus Performante and the Ferrari Purosangue!
The question is, can either of the ICE cars spring a surprise on the EV? Let’s check out the stats…
The Ferrari is powered by a 6.5-litre naturally-aspirated V12 that pumps out 725hp and 716Nm. Power is sent to all four wheels via an 8-speed auto gearbox, and it weighs in at 2,033kg. It’s easily the most expensive car here, with the starting price coming in at £313,000.
Next up is the Lamborghini. It’s powered by a 4-litre twin-turbo V8, and this puts down 666hp and 850Nm. Power is sent to all four wheels via an 8-speed auto gearbox, and it tips the scales at 2,150kg. As new, it costs around £209,000.
Finally, we come to the Porsche. It’s equipped with two electric motors, and these combine to create an incredible 1,156hp and 1,500Nm! This power is sent to all four wheels, but it’s by far the heaviest car here, weighing in at a colossal 2,645kg! However, it’s also the cheapest car here, costing from £131,000.
So the Porsche has by far the most power, but it’s also by far the heaviest! Could the weight prove decisive? There’s only one way to find out for sure… LET’S RACE!

00:00What will happen in a drag race between the fastest European SUVs?
00:04Well, we're going to find out because we're going to race a Ferrari Pura Sangue,
00:07a Lamborghini Urus Performante and the new Porsche Cayenne Turbo EV
00:11over the standing quarter mile.
00:13I'm Matt Watson, you're watching Car Wow.
00:18This Ferrari Pura Sangue has a 6.5 litre naturally aspirated V12
00:22with 725 horsepower, 716 newton metres of torque,
00:26driving all four wheels for an eight-speed automatic gearbox with launch control.
00:29It weighs 2.1 tonnes.
00:31The Lamborghini Urus Performante has a 4 litre twin-turbo V8
00:34with 666 horsepower and 850 newton metres of torque,
00:38driving all four wheels for an eight-speed automatic gearbox with launch control.
00:41It weighs 2.1 tonnes.
00:43And then finally, we have the Porsche Cayenne Turbo EV,
00:46which has two electric motors and combined,
00:47they put out 1,156 horsepower and 1,500 newton metres of torque,
00:52but it weighs in at a colossal 2.6 tonnes.
00:56Now, if you want to compare the car's stats side by side, pause the video.
00:59However, if you'd rather just crack on with the race, we're going to do it now.
01:02Quick hello to the drivers.
01:03Yanni, hi.
01:04What do you think is going to happen?
01:11He's lost his radio as well.
01:12Okay.
01:13Yeah, that's fine.
01:13Right, listen, I've got to go because I'm on Car Wow
01:14and I'm racing a Perth, a new Cayenne and a Pura Sangue.
01:17All right, brother, speak to you after that.
01:18All right, bye.
01:19No, speak to me on the radio, not the phone.
01:21That was Roo, brand director from HR and Lamborghini.
01:24So he was just talking about my new Urus SE Perth.
01:27Would you rather have that car or the one you're sitting in now?
01:30I'm an Urus, man.
01:31Urus all day, or Lambo all day, every day.
01:33However, this car looks quite nice.
01:35Your car's got a nice colour,
01:36but I'm not feeling the Pura Sangue way whatsoever.
01:39You lose loads of money with that car.
01:40Okay, well, maybe the performance of that will change your mind.
01:43We'll find out in a moment.
01:44Nick, you all right?
01:45Yeah, good.
01:46It can't be Lambo all day, every day.
01:47Not today, anyway, but yeah, I'm loving this.
01:50This is the best looking car here as far as I'm concerned.
01:52Okay, let's do this.
01:53Let's do the first race.
01:55Three, two, one.
02:01Come on, Ferrari.
02:03Off we go.
02:04I'm ahead of Yanni, yes.
02:13It's like a really mellow launch.
02:15What's wrong with you?
02:21And he's gone.
02:23He's going for blooming.
02:25Heck, that's quick.
02:38Now I'm gaining on.
02:40There's a Lamborghini, but can I catch up in time?
02:46How am I going to stay ahead?
02:47Come on, Lambo.
02:48Come on.
02:54No.
02:55With a harder launch, this will do better.
02:57But that Porsche's gone.
02:59Oh, mate, that Porsche's quick, isn't it?
03:01This is so fast,
03:03and it didn't feel like I was doing anything.
03:05It's mad, isn't it?
03:06This had a terrible launch.
03:07It was really like, meh.
03:09It wasn't like a normal Ferrari launch,
03:10and by that time, the Lamborghini had gone
03:12and was far enough ahead that I couldn't quite reel it in.
03:15I think this is going to go a lot better.
03:16It just needs to warm up and get into the spirit of things.
03:19Nick, how about you?
03:20Yeah, I had an amazing launch in this.
03:21I was ahead of you, Yann,
03:22and I thought electric cars were supposed to be quick off the line.
03:24This thing was great for the first 20 metres.
03:26Well, do you know what we're going to do now, mate?
03:28We are going to let our tyres warm up by doing some other races,
03:31because I'm convinced this can do a lot better,
03:34and I reckon I'm going to do a lot better in a riding race.
03:37So let's do one of those now,
03:38and then we'll come back to the drag racing again.
03:40Don't get too cocky, Yanni.
03:41It ain't over yet, my friend.
03:44Who came second, by the way?
03:47Him.
03:49Oh, you really messed up then, that's for sure.
03:51Yeah, I did, I did.
03:52He was the guy, it wasn't me.
03:54It just needs to, like, warm up a bit.
03:55Right, what we're going to do now is a rolling race over the half mile.
03:59We're going to do it from 50 miles an hour,
04:00and we're going to have the cars in their comfy setting
04:02and automatic mode for the gearbox.
04:04I'll call it in, and we'll see which one passes the half mile marker first.
04:08Three, two, one, go.
04:12Oh, that Porsche's gone.
04:14Oh, this is light work.
04:16I'm in comfort mode.
04:25Me and the Lambo.
04:26I'm coming past the Lambo.
04:28Come on, stretch it.
04:30Come on!
04:40What does this button do?
04:41Try this.
04:43We've got, like, a turbo boost button.
04:52Oh, no, he's filling the head.
04:54Oh, forget about Yanni, he's gone.
05:01Hey, this is promising for the drag race, isn't it?
05:07A Porsche just disappeared.
05:09Oh, that was interesting.
05:11Um, Nick, I don't feel like I want to talk to you, Ami.
05:13Um, let's just have a chat.
05:15So, I think you went off a bit quicker than I pulled past you and beat you quite convincingly.
05:20Yeah, I thought with your naturally aspirated engine, clever gearbox, you'd kick down and be gone, but now I was
05:24ahead of you for a while.
05:25Well, I was, well, I was happy to begin with.
05:27Yeah.
05:27Right, before our next race, let's just do a quick sound check.
05:30So, I'm going to rev up my Ferrari.
05:35Look how quick that revs.
05:38Oh, it's so good.
05:39I love it.
05:40Nick, let's have a listen to your car.
05:47And Yanni, you can't make a noise, so you decide which one sounds the best.
05:52Lambo.
05:54Ferrari, but Lambo.
05:56Yeah, exactly.
05:57Right, now we're going to do a rolling race.
05:58We're going to be in sportiest mode, manual mode for the gearbox.
06:00We're going to be in second gear, and we're going to roll on from around 40 miles an hour.
06:04Three, two, one, go.
06:07Oh, it's gone.
06:17This car.
06:19Oh, Matt shot off there.
06:28Oh, no.
06:34Oh, no.
06:41I'm like going on a Sunday cruise.
06:43Woo, that KM is just so fast.
06:54This is definitely not working out for me.
07:00Right, so this Ferrari is faster than the Lambo.
07:02Yanni, that's all you need to know.
07:04That's all you need to know.
07:04The thing I want to know is, who have they made this car for?
07:08It's so fast.
07:09Like, is there any other 4x4 that comes close to this car?
07:12No, there's not.
07:14It's mad.
07:15Nick, any excuses?
07:17No, not one.
07:19I was just in awe at how quick that Porsche is.
07:22Unbelievable.
07:23Right, let's do one more race before we get into the drag racing, because this will probably
07:26show the real difference between the cars.
07:28You know what?
07:29I don't even think I need Sport+.
07:31I'm just going to stay in comfort mode, and I think I'll still beat them.
07:33Right, what we're going to do now is a rolling race from 10 miles an hour, cars in their sportier
07:37settings, going to race over the half mile.
07:39See what happens this time.
07:40I'm a bit more confident when I'm in first gear, this is going to fly.
07:43I'm going to have some fun with them this time.
07:45They can't catch me, so I'm going to let them go first, and then I'm going to accelerate,
07:50and then I'm going to push this little button here.
07:52Watch how quick I come past them, even though they're going well before me.
07:56Let's have some fun.
07:58Three, two, one.
08:03Oh, it's close.
08:04Off we go.
08:05What happened to Yanni?
08:07And they're gone.
08:14What happened to Yanni?
08:15One, two.
08:17All right, let's go.
08:25Oh, my goodness.
08:27They've got...
08:28I gave them such a head start.
08:36Oh, my...
08:39Oh, blimey, it's coming now.
08:46Oh, this is lightweight.
08:48Look at this.
08:49Look at the countdown.
08:50What is going on here?
08:51This is just crazy.
08:52You're so far behind.
08:53No.
08:58I don't believe that.
09:03I destroyed the Urus.
09:06I was destroying him.
09:13This car's a cheat code.
09:14Did you see how much of a start I gave them?
09:18I didn't even need to be rolling.
09:20I could have been at the start line
09:21and let them go and still caught them.
09:24What just happened there?
09:25I thought I'd give you a head start.
09:27You lot went.
09:28I went one, two.
09:29Then I decided to go.
09:31And then I gave it a couple more seconds
09:32and I pushed this super duper button.
09:33And I still beat you.
09:35I could have been on the start line
09:36and I would have beat you both.
09:38You were so far behind me.
09:39And yet you weren't.
09:40That was nuts.
09:41Nick, what happened to your car?
09:42I'll be honest.
09:43I did hit the limiter just a little bit in second.
09:45But it didn't make any difference, did it?
09:47I mean, what was that?
09:49That was nuts.
09:50I didn't enjoy that at all.
09:52I'm a bit frightened about the drag race now.
09:53Right, before that though, let's do a brake test.
09:55If you'd like to see a drag race
09:56with this against him from China
09:58that is so cheap, it's insane.
09:59Click on the pop-up banner,
10:01scan the QR code,
10:01I'll find the link in the description.
10:02If not, stay here for the brake test.
10:04Can I beat Yanni?
10:24Oops.
10:31What are their faces like?
10:39Oh my God.
10:41Oh, Nick, I just about beat you.
10:43Yeah, and I'm happy to have come second.
10:47Obviously, there were no other cars in that contest at all,
10:49were they?
10:50Just you and me.
10:50Yeah, because our cars are really heavy,
10:52so they don't break so well.
10:53They're like 2.1 tonnes, aren't they?
10:55Yeah, let's just compare.
10:57Oh wait, there is another car in this.
10:59Mate, your car is like 2.7 tonnes.
11:01How can you stop so quickly?
11:02You lot are just...
11:04Are you scared to push the brake pedal?
11:07Like, I can't believe I beat you by so much.
11:09Like, what are you two doing?
11:11Shut up.
11:12Let's drag race.
11:13All right, Yanni, you've won one drag race.
11:15It's best three out of five.
11:16Hopefully, I can at least beat the blooming Lamborghini.
11:20No, I hope not.
11:21Come on, Lambo.
11:22Come on, Nick.
11:23Oh, so I want to beat you.
11:25I either want to beat Yanni in the Porsche or the Lambo,
11:27so I beat him in somewhere or other,
11:29because that's his favourite brand.
11:30Let's go to launch road.
11:31We're hunkered down.
11:32We're ready to go.
11:33Three, two, one.
11:39That's about to start.
11:39Come on, get that Lambo.
11:44God, Yanni's launches just keep getting better.
11:47God, Nick.
11:49Come on, Urusperf.
11:57He's a bit ahead, but he's not going to be enough.
12:04Come on, Urusperf.
12:05I'm ahead of that.
12:06Come on, stay ahead.
12:11Let's have it.
12:11Let's have it.
12:12Stay ahead, Lambo.
12:17Let's have it.
12:23We had it.
12:24Yes.
12:25Oh, mate.
12:26I didn't beat you in the Porsche, Yanni,
12:27but I beat the Lamborghini.
12:29So it's one each to me in the Lamborghini.
12:31It's 2-0 to you.
12:32So we've got one more race.
12:33If you win the last race,
12:34which I think you will do,
12:35you win.
12:36But if I can win,
12:38at least I beat the Lamborghini.
12:39So I know you wouldn't like that.
12:41So I'd be happy with that.
12:43That was a great launch, Nick.
12:45Well done, mate.
12:45That was a really good launch.
12:46I saw that.
12:46I was proud of you, pal.
12:49Can I be honest with you, Matt?
12:50So I've been running in comfort mode.
12:52I haven't even been using launch.
12:54If you don't mind,
12:55I'm going to put this in Sport Plus
12:56and I'm going to use launch
12:58and see how fast this car really is.
13:00It's up to you.
13:01Brace yourself, though.
13:03I just want to beat the Lamborghini, all right?
13:06It's going to be interesting to see
13:07how much further ahead you are
13:08when you use all the car's horsepower.
13:11Let's do it.
13:12Three, two, one.
13:19Oh!
13:28Oh, I'm too far behind Nick.
13:29Come on, he had a stutter on his chains.
13:31Come on, Ferrari.
13:32My God, he wasn't kidding.
13:40Oh!
13:41Oh, my God.
13:43Where are they?
13:54Blimey.
13:56Jeez, it's like a comet.
14:03The only thing is gone.
14:03I can't catch Nick, though.
14:05Come on, it's just...
14:06I'm ahead of Matt, though.
14:07I'm still ahead of Matt.
14:08I'm going to beat him.
14:16Wow, 146 miles an hour.
14:22I've got to wait about a week for them to catch me.
14:25Oh, it's my launch.
14:26It's just too slow.
14:28Oh, last.
14:33I need to just calm myself down.
14:35Have you just come, Yanny?
14:38Matt, where were you both?
14:41This thing is insane.
14:43Do you think you might buy one now?
14:44Over the Urus.
14:46You saw what it did to the Urus.
14:48I have the Urus Perf SE.
14:50I don't know if it's going to be as fast as this.
14:52No, I love Lambo.
14:53This is very fast, but this car, my God.
14:57Yeah, it's madness.
14:57And Nick, your car is launching better than mine.
14:59There's a delay on this.
15:00Excuse, excuse, excuse, excuse.
15:03I lost.
15:04Yeah, you did.
15:05Yeah, we've had some finicky Lambo Uruses in the past,
15:08but this is a great one.
15:09It's putting in the gumbo tonight.
15:11Trump, do you like nobody's business?
15:13Yeah, but ultimately, though,
15:14we both got humiliated by that new Porsche.
15:19It's nuts, isn't it, Yanny?
15:21It's insane.
15:21And you know why that Urus is so fast?
15:23It's literally came back yesterday from the Anomar Grand Tour.
15:25So it's obviously burnt a thousand miles at super duper speeds.
15:28And then you got obliterated by me.
15:30So, yeah.
15:30So then, what exactly happened?
15:32Well, the Porsche won easily.
15:34It completed the standing quarter mile in 10 seconds.
15:37The Lamborghini took 11.5 seconds.
15:40And the Ferrari came last with a time of 11.6 seconds.
15:45Now, if you want to see just how quick that Porsche Cayenne Turbo EV is,
15:48watch the video there.
15:50Anyway, I want to say a huge thanks to the guys at Onyx
15:52for lending us this Pure Sangue and the Urus to drag race.
15:56Go check them out.
15:56And as ever, give this video a like.
15:59If you haven't done so, subscribe
16:00because we've got some more cool videos coming out soon.
16:01some wicked drug races you're going to love.
16:03And thanks for watching.
16:05I'll see you next time.
