What happens when you pit a high-tech electric car, a cutting-edge superbike, and a hybrid hypercar against each other in a drag race? That’s what you’ll about to see in this drag race from Carwow featuring three high-performance machines—a Porsche Taycan Turbo GT, Yamaha R1M, and Ferrari SF90.
First, we have the Porsche Taycan Turbo GT, a technological marvel powered by two electric motors (one on each axle). It delivers 789 horsepower and 1,240 Nm of torque, and in launch mode, that power surges to an incredible 1,034 horsepower. Weighing 2,365 kg, it boasts a single-speed transmission at the front and a two-speed gearbox at the rear.
Next is the Yamaha R1M, a superbike equipped with a 1.0L four-stroke engine producing 200 horsepower and 113 Nm of torque. This lightweight machine weighs just 202 kg and uses a six-speed constant mesh transmission.
Finally, the Ferrari SF90 Stradale is a hybrid hypercar that combines a 4.0L twin-turbo V8 with three electric motors. The result? A staggering 1,000 horsepower and 800 Nm of torque. Ferrari claims a dry weight of 1,570 kg, but it likely exceeds 1,670 kilograms with fluids.
Regarding the power-to-weight ratio, the Yamaha leads with 990 hp/ton, followed by the SF90 at 599 hp/ton and the Taycan at 437 hp/ton. Despite that, the Porsche Taycan completed the quarter-mile in 9.9 seconds, edging out the Ferrari SF90, which clocked 10 seconds, and the Yamaha R1M with 10.3 seconds.
