Ferrari v Lambo DRAG RACE: Speciale v Pista v STO v Performante

This video showcases a series of drag races between different Lamborghini Huracan models and their Ferrari competitors, all featuring mid-mounted engines, to determine the ultimate Italian supercar. The format is a "winner stays on" elimination over a standing quarter mile, with the losing car being eliminated. Quarter-mile times for each model will be revealed at the end. The first race pits a Lamborghini Huracan LP582 against a Ferrari 458 Speciale. The Lamborghini, a 2017 rear-wheel-drive model, has a 5.2L naturally aspirated V10 engine producing 580 horsepower and 540 Nm of torque, weighing 1,490 kg. The Ferrari, a 2015 rear-wheel-drive model, features a 4.5L naturally aspirated V8 with 605 horsepower and 540 Nm of torque, weighing 1,395 kg, making it nearly 100 kg lighter. Despite the Ferrari's power advantage and lighter weight, the Lamborghini surprisingly wins the initial rolling race and a subsequent brake test. In the standing quarter-mile drag race, after an initial jump start by the Ferrari and a re-run, the Lamborghini ultimately wins, eliminating the 458 Speciale. However, the Lamborghini Huracan LP582 is retired from the competition due to a serious tire delamination issue, which was initially mistaken for rust. A replacement is brought in: a Lamborghini Huracan STO. The next competitor for the Lamborghini STO is a Ferrari 488 Pista. The Pista is a 2019 Spider version, weighing 1,485 kg, with a 3.9L twin-turbo V8 engine producing 720 horsepower and 770 Nm of torque. It is also suspected to be tuned with a downpipe and ECU remap, potentially increasing its power significantly. The Huracan STO, a 2022 model, has a 5.2L naturally aspirated V10 with 640 horsepower and 565 Nm of torque, weighing 1,440 kg. In the rolling race, the Ferrari 488 Pista, driven by Sam, demonstrates immense speed, winning convincingly despite some wheelspin issues. A brake test is also conducted, which the Lamborghini wins after a mistake by the Ferrari driver. For the standing drag race, a significant problem arises: the Ferrari's launch control system will not engage, displaying "operation not admissible." This issue is suspected to be due to geo-fencing, as it works outside the track area. Without launch control, the Ferrari still performs strongly, winning the first drag race. In a re-run, the Lamborghini STO wins, making it one win each. The decider sees the Ferrari 488 Pista win again, eliminating the Huracan STO. To continue the challenge against the Ferrari 488 Pista, a new Lamborghini is introduced: a Huracan LP 610-4. This 2017 all-wheel-drive model has a 5.2L naturally aspirated V10, producing 610 horsepower and 560 Nm of torque, weighing 1,522 kg. The all-wheel drive is expected to provide a significant advantage in launching. In a third-gear rolling race, the Ferrari 488 Pista again proves faster. A brake test follows, won by the Lamborghini. In the first-gear rolling race, the Ferrari again takes the lead. The standing drag race is highly contested. After an initial false start by the Lamborghini, the Ferrari wins the first round. The Lamborghini then wins the second round with a better launch. The decider is incredibly close, with the Lamborghini Huracan LP 610-4 ultimately winning, eliminating the Ferrari 488 Pista. The next car to face the Ferrari is a Lamborghini Huracan Performante. This 2019 all-wheel-drive model features a 5.2L naturally aspirated V10 with 640 horsepower and 600 Nm of torque, weighing 1,482 kg. It is equipped with super sticky track tires (Trofeo RS). In the third-gear rolling race, the Ferrari 488 Pista again demonstrates its superior speed, winning comfortably. The brake test is very close, with the Lamborghini Performante just winning. A first-gear rolling race also goes to the Ferrari. For the standing drag race, both cars are pushed to their limits. After a series of close races, the Lamborghini Performante wins the decider, eliminating the Ferrari 488 Pista. Finally, a new Ferrari, the 296 GTS, is brought in. This is the most powerful car in the competition, a 2025 model with a 3.0L twin-turbo V6 engine combined with an electric motor, producing a total of 830 horsepower and 740 Nm of torque. It is rear-wheel drive and weighs 1,640 kg. In a rolling race against the previously eliminated (and allegedly tuned) Ferrari 488 Pista, the 296 GTS surprisingly loses, indicating the significant tuning on the 488 Pista. The brake test is very close, with the 488 Pista winning. Another first-gear rolling race also sees the 488 Pista win. In the standing drag race, the 488 Pista, despite its "tune," struggles with wheelspin and power delivery, allowing the 296 GTS to win and eliminate it. The final showdown is between the Lamborghini Huracan Performante and the Ferrari 296 GTS. This is a best two out of three standing quarter-mile drag race. In the first race, the Ferrari 296 GTS gets a strong launch and wins. The second race sees the Lamborghini Performante with a better launch, winning and evening the score. The final decider is incredibly close, with both cars crossing the line in 10.6 seconds. A slow-motion replay reveals the Lamborghini Performante just edged out the Ferrari 296 GTS by the smallest margin. The quarter-mile times for all cars are: - Ferrari 458 Speciale: 11.7 seconds - Lamborghini Huracan LP 582: 11.4 seconds - Lamborghini Huracan STO: 11.2 seconds - Lamborghini Huracan LP 610-4: 10.9 seconds - Ferrari 488 Pista: 10.8 seconds (best time) - Lamborghini Huracan Performante: 10.6 seconds - Ferrari 296 GTS: 10.6 seconds The Lamborghini Huracan Performante is crowned the ultimate Italian supercar, narrowly beating the Ferrari 296 GTS.
