We’ve got Mat in the Lamborghini Revuelto, and he’s going up against two cars that have been massively tuned by Gravituned Power to see which will come out on top over the quarter-mile! So, let’s get into it…
Starting with the Lambo, it’s powered by a 6.5-litre NA V12, coupled with three electric motors. These combine to produce 1,015hp and 1,062Nm, with this power sent to all four wheels. It weighs in at 1,872kg, and it’s incredibly expensive, costing £558,000!
Up next we have the Audi S3. It rolls up with a 3.2-litre turbocharged V6, and this puts down an incredible 950hp and 900Nm! Power is sent to all four wheels via a 7-speed dual-clutch, and it tips the scales at 1,600kg. All in, it’s valued at £70,000.
Finally we come to the almighty M140. It’s powered by a 3.4-litre 6-cylinder turbo, and in low boost mode this creates 1,200hp and 1,500Nm! This is sent to all four wheels via an 8-speed auto, and it’s by far the lightest here, weighing just 1,475kg! The car and the mods combined cost £110,000.
So how will this one play out - will it be an easy win for the BMW? Or will newer Lambo tech prove to be the winner? There’s only one way to find out for sure… LET’S RACE!

00:00What will win in a drag race between a standard Lamborghini Rualto,
00:03which has 1,000 horsepower,
00:05a massively tuned BMW M140i with up to 1,600 horsepower,
00:10and an Audi S3, which has also been massively tuned
00:13with an undisclosed amount of horsepower?
00:16Well, we're going to find out by racing them over the standing quarter mile.
00:20I'm Matt Watson, you're watching CarWow,
00:22and hopefully no cars will blow up.
00:33Right, we're going to start off with the drag race,
00:35and to make it super interesting,
00:36we're not going to warm my tyres at first.
00:38What will happen?
00:39Three, two...
00:46Oh, Ricky's off quick!
01:14The Audi's dead!
01:27What?
01:30Wow, that was amazing.
01:33This car hooked up, but that BMW,
01:35I'm so surprised considering the power it's got.
01:37Let's speak to its owner, you'll probably recognise him.
01:39Hey, Ricky!
01:40How was that?
01:40Oh, wait a minute, Ricky.
01:41Look, the Audi's finally here.
01:43Hello, Audi.
01:44You're a bit late to the party, mate.
01:46I think you might have lost.
01:47What happened?
01:48I don't know.
01:49It didn't shift after first gear,
01:51so we're going to have to give it another go.
01:52Well, we'll give it another go in a minute,
01:54but first, Ricky, thanks for bringing your car down.
01:57It looks impressive.
01:58Liv, how was that launch for you?
01:59It weren't too bad, man.
02:00I think I got you on the line as well.
02:02Yeah, I mean, first time out on Car Wow,
02:05and your launch was insanely good.
02:07I think I can do a bit of launch,
02:09but your car was just pulling.
02:10I want to see, though, how that Audi does,
02:13because he wasn't in the race then.
02:14I've got another question to ask you, Ricky.
02:16Were you running full power then?
02:18That's actually low boost.
02:20I think traction was good,
02:21so we might be able to turn it up.
02:22If you've got a set, we could probably turn it up.
02:24Yeah, OK.
02:24If you want to do more power, do more power.
02:26I'd love to see what your car can do
02:28and find out what that Audi can do.
02:29But before we do some more drag racing,
02:31let's do some other tests.
02:32Right, I'm not going to race him, Miguel,
02:34but you can have a little go,
02:35see if you can do it properly this time.
02:36Can he?
02:37Can he?
02:37We'll find out.
02:43Mate, that's what we needed the first go.
02:45That looks impressive.
02:46It's quite frightening, actually.
02:48You're back in the game, Miguel.
02:49You're back in the game.
02:50This Audi S3 has a 3.2-litre turbocharged V6 engine swap
02:54with 950 horsepower and 900 newton-metres of torque.
02:58It drives all four wheels
02:59through a seven-speed dual clutch automatic gearbox
03:01and weighs 1.6 tonnes.
03:02Ricci's M140i has a turbocharged 3.4-litre six-linder engine,
03:07which makes 1,200 horsepower and 1,500 newton-metres
03:10in low-boost mode.
03:11It has an eight-speed automatic gearbox
03:13and four-wheel drive conversion,
03:15but still weighs less than 1.5 tonnes.
03:17To see how these cars compare to this Lamborghini Ruelto,
03:20pause the video now.
03:23But before we could get into the rolling race,
03:25Ricci had some fettling to do.
03:27Keep her nice and cool.
03:36OK, Ricci, so what have you turned your car up to?
03:39I reckon we're probably more 1,400 now.
03:43Right, and Miguel, are you sure you're going to be able
03:45to drive your car this time?
03:47I'm going to try.
03:49OK, rolling race.
03:51Cars are going to be in automatic mode to the gearbox.
03:53We're going to race to the half mile.
03:54I'm going to set the speed about 50 miles an hour,
03:56and then I'll call it in.
03:57Three, two, one, go.
04:00albo albo albo albo albo albo albo albo albo albo albo albo albo albo albo albo albo albo albo albo
04:23albo albo albo albo albo albo albo albo albo albo albo albo albo albo albo albo albo albo albo albo
04:24albo albo albo albo albo albo albo albo albo albo albo albo albo albo albo albo albo albo albo albo
04:24albo albo albo albo albo useleluzio.
04:43All right, so Ricky, I took off and you were all just left standing and then your car came
04:49on boost and you flew past.
04:51Yeah, I was in auto, wasn't I?
04:55So yeah, a bit of lag, took probably a gear or two to get down, but yeah, come past in
04:59the end, as I expected.
05:01And Miguel, you looked like you had the same issue and was gaining on me, but you, it's
05:06like you backed off too soon.
05:07Was there a problem with your car?
05:09No, all good, but I thought we reached the second car, so I think probably backed off
05:12a bit too early.
05:13I think you would have been in with a chance of maybe catching me, but let's find out in
05:18the next race.
05:18You can use your gears, okay, manual mode.
05:20What gear would you like to be in?
05:22Probably third for me.
05:24Miguel, third, is that good for you?
05:26Probably, yeah, third or second, I'll have to see.
05:28You're going to have to pick one.
05:29Which one are you going to go for?
05:30From 50, I'll probably say second.
05:32Do you know what?
05:32I'll do second as well.
05:33Ricky, what do you want?
05:35Third or second?
05:36If you guys want to go second, we'll go second.
05:39Before we do that, though, let's do a sound check.
05:42So, Ricky, can you rev up your car?
05:50Nice, nice.
05:52Now, let's have a listen to your R32 engine, Miguel.
06:03Are you ready for 6.5 litre V12, guys?
06:17Your cars may be fast, but they don't sound anything like this.
06:21Right, let's do this race.
06:223, 2, 1, go.
06:31Miguel lost the gear.
06:58Miguel, I think your body's about to come flying off.
07:01I missed the bloody gear, but I still caught you.
07:03Sorry, what was that, Miguel?
07:05You what-a-gear?
07:06It basically wheelspan, second gear, and it didn't shift,
07:09so I had to manually shift.
07:11So, it bounced off the limiter.
07:12That's why I bogged down, and then...
07:14Do you realise your bonnet was coming off?
07:16It's not off, but, yeah, the wind will pull it.
07:19It's carbon fibre, so it's a bit flexible.
07:21I don't think that's helping your aero.
07:23Anyway, Ricky, once again, you won that by some margin.
07:27Do you reckon you can do even more power?
07:28There's plenty more power,
07:30but I'm happy, man.
07:32I mean, I thought even in medium boost,
07:34I'd probably pull a bit more,
07:36but, Matt, we've got Santa Pod tomorrow,
07:37so the engine, I've got to look after her.
07:39We've got a stressful weekend ahead.
07:41Listen, mate, it's your car.
07:42You do whatever you want to do.
07:43Let's head back, and we're going to do a quarter-mile race,
07:46but we're going to roll in at 10 mile an hour.
07:48See, the thing is, Matt, believe it or not,
07:51my times were faster in low boost,
07:53so I'm looking at my data.
07:55I'm using Draghi,
07:56and I'm actually going slower with more power.
07:58Okay, well, it's up to you.
08:00Your car will run in full power.
08:04I want to, um, need to throw a bit more ice in.
08:07I need some fuel as well.
08:08He's running out of fuel already.
08:09I want to know whether he's going to run it in high power.
08:12I bet he will.
08:13I bet he will.
08:14So how much fuel are you putting in at a time?
08:17It only needs a couple of litres.
08:18It just dropped below the minimum,
08:20so it just won't give me the boost.
08:23I just like to run it on low fuel, keep the weight down.
08:25Yeah.
08:26Every tenth of a second counts, doesn't it?
08:28Yeah, yeah, mate.
08:29So we've done 1,200 horsepower.
08:31Yeah.
08:321,400 just.
08:33Yeah.
08:34Now we're going to do a rolling from 10 miles an hour.
08:37What boost are you going to run?
08:39I think just keep it in the same map.
08:41For you guys, it might be good for views if I crash it,
08:43but we don't want that.
08:45We don't want it.
08:46So you're going to run low boost again,
08:47and you think it's going to be faster?
08:48Medium-ish, yeah.
08:49It'll be like low-medium.
08:50I'm going to go down a few psi.
08:51So how many horsepower do you reckon for that then?
08:53Well, it's probably going to be in between 12 and 14,
08:57so I'm going to go down a few psi.
09:00So probably 13, I reckon.
09:02Well, let's see how it does.
09:03You all right to do it?
09:04Yeah, yeah.
09:05So I'm just trying to think,
09:06because I've got a little bit of ice left,
09:08so we're going to do...
09:09You want to do another run after this?
09:10I'd like to do it,
09:11because what is your reason for not wanting to do it?
09:14Well, firstly, as I say,
09:15I'm about to be out of ice,
09:16and I need the ice regardless for each run
09:18because my temps have gone up to 40 now,
09:20which is fine.
09:20They just need to cool down, isn't it?
09:21It's just these kind of builds,
09:23it's back-to-back runs what kills them.
09:24Do you want to go and drive it about
09:26and cool it down?
09:27Uh, yeah.
09:36You know, I reckon we should just throw the ice in
09:38and maybe go for the quarter instead?
09:41If you don't want to do that, it's up to you.
09:43We'll do what you want to do, Ricky.
09:44Okay, fill car.
09:46I reckon we just go for a last quarter,
09:48just turn it up a little bit.
09:49Yeah, Ricky, what we'll do is a quarter mile.
09:51All right, sweet.
09:52So Ricky's done a lot of driving about
09:54to try and cool his car down.
09:55He's now going to whack some more ice into it
09:57and we're not going to do the 10-mile-an-hour rolling.
09:59We're just going to go straight for some more drag racing.
10:01We don't know how many goes he's going to get in that car
10:03and we want to do the proper runs
10:05because the drag race is what really counts.
10:07How fast will his car go?
10:09We're going to find out.
10:10I've got to say, we've got some good number plates
10:11on all these cars, don't you think?
10:14Check them out.
10:22Oh, yeah, he's got a good start.
10:24I'm coming past it.
10:40Ricky has gone.
10:42Ricky has gone.
10:59Oh, yeah, he's coming past.
11:00Oh, my God.
11:07He's going to do me.
11:08He's going to do me.
11:10He's going to do me.
11:15So, that was interesting.
11:16Ricky, your car just shot off.
11:18Clear victory.
11:19Are you pleased with that?
11:20Yeah, yeah, as I suspected.
11:22Honestly, the more I turn it up, the slower this car goes.
11:25The service isn't too bad.
11:26But, yeah, just not good enough for the car.
11:29Miguel, are you pleased?
11:30Yeah, but I was sort of all over the place halfway through.
11:33I don't know how, but I must have hit the concrete patch.
11:37However, you came past me.
11:39So, the Lamborghini came last.
11:43Oh, dear.
11:44Right, and let's compare these cars' times.
11:46So, then what exactly happened?
11:48Well, the BMW won.
11:50It completed the standing quarter mile in 8.8 seconds.
11:52The Audi took 9.9 seconds and the Lamborghini came last with a time of 10 seconds dead.
11:59I just want to say a huge thanks to Ricky and Miguel for bringing their cars down and letting us
12:03play with them
12:04and to Sean for letting me this Lamborghini.
12:06Now, if you want to watch some of the videos, click on the video windows
12:08and if you want to compare these cars quarter mile times to everything else we've ever had for Drag Race,

12:14Thanks for watching and I'll see you next time.
