Can the 2,615kg Lotus Eletre X really take down a Ferrari?! Explore new and used car deals with Carwow: https://bit.ly/Change-Your-Car-0209 Mat’s got his hands on the all-new Lotus Eletre X! It’s a hybrid version of Lotus’s high-performance SUV, and he’s going up against one of the most popular performance SUVs around - the Ferrari Purosangue! However, that’s not all. Whoever loses the initial race will then face a ‘proper’ performance car: a Lamborghini Huracan Performante! So let’s take a closer look at 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 2,133kg. It’s easily the most expensive car here, with the starting price coming in at £364,000. As for the Lotus, it’s equipped with a 2-litre turbocharged petrol engine and two electric motors. These combine to produce 952hp and 935Nm, with this power sent to all four wheels. It costs around £103,000, but it’s super heavy, tipping the scales at 2,615kg! Finally, we come to the Lambo. It’s powered by a 5.2-litre naturally aspirated V10 that delivers 640hp and 600Nm. It sends that power to all four wheels via a dual-clutch automatic gearbox, and it weighs in at just 1480kg. As of today, it’s worth around £215,000. So does the 900hp Lotus have what it takes? There’s only one way to find out… LET’S RACE! Thanks to https://www.instagram.com/seanysgarage/ for lending us his car for the race!

Matt. Can you drag a normal car like a ford focus along side, so we can get a real world insight into how fast these cars are going please 🙏🏼
So Matt jumps the starts and Yanni brakes early 😂
A drag race between the Lotus Eletre and the Porsche Cayenne Turbo EV would be extremely interesting
A Lotus that weighs 2615 kg...
The break test was funny 😂😂
I'm glad the spirit of Colin Chapman "Complicate and add weight" is still alive today
A drag race of Lotus Eletre vs Porsche Cayenne Turbo EV would be very interesting.
let's be real. you don't need the cones for the brake test. just use the timing gear like you always do. that would be a fair analysis
Where's Yanni at we need you in the comments
Huracan Performante, old but gold
Funny how when Yanni brakes early we get 80 different replays and a 5min segment about it, but when Mat jumps the start it’s never a thing
Since you're braking from 60 mph, just use tha racebox to determine the stopping distance... take the driver out of the equation... Like on the dragrace i understand that you cant use racebox because you want to measure how fast the car starts after you put the foot down, but on brake test you dont need this, just measure using racebox. Or keep doing the "competition" but still show the racebox afterwards to see who cheated by stopping early.
For the guys at Carwow I think I've realized that we finally need a Lamborghini Huracan all generations drag race like you did with the Aventadors. The Performante vs the 610 and 580 vs the sto vs the tecnica vs the evo rwd and awd vs the sterrato. Come on you guys can arrange this. Please
More 911 Turbo S 992.2 drag races would be great🔥
Vote for race between Zeekr 8x and lotus eletre
1:14 out of context Yianni has to be a meme
I go for the Lamborghini Huracan performante actually
952hp in a Lotus sounds wild until you remember it has 2.6 tons to move!
0:20 did he Just said porespower?😂😂
If Yanni braked any earlier, he'd be parking in the previous video!
