Nowadays, the internet has brought supercar drag races so close that when two such machines that come in standard form engage in a sprinting battle, the whole shenanigan risk being less than interesting.
If you want to ensure your audience doesn't close the browser window, you'll have to go for tuned supercars. This is precisely what the piece of footage at the bottom of the page brings, with a Lamborghini Huracan and a Porsche 911 Turbo S being on the menu.
The Huracan, which delivers 602 hp (make that 610 PS, you metric system fans) in Sant'Agata Bolognese form, has been gifted with a supercharger kit. Thanks to the forced induction, the 5.2-liter V10 occupying the center section of the car now allows the driver to play with 800 horses.
As the 991.1 Turbo S involved in the fight, this comes with what can be labeled as a Stage Two approach. Translated in numbers, this means the twin-turbo 3.8-liter flat-six at the rear of the Neunelfer has gone from 560 to 650 hp.
The pair of boosted supercars plays the velocity game in Russia, with the video bringing a detailed take on their stunts. For one thing, the race is accompanied by data for both the 1/4- and the 1/2-mile runs, so you can get a clear view on the matter.
Nevertheless, the clip kicks off with the Raging Bull going for a solo run. Interestingly, the driver doesn't seem to care about what the Christmas Tree says. And this is also true for the time when the Huracan races the 911 Turbo S.
In fact, for the brawl mentioned above, the Lambo driver seems to be ready to gift the Porsche guy with a hefty take-off advantage. Laggy start aside, the man behind the wheel of the Italian exotic doesn't even turn to the machine's Launch Control stunt. How does this tip the balance?
