The launch control of the Porsche 911 Turbo S is amazing
yesterday,Video of Porsche 911 Turbo S running on the Autobahn at maximum speedI just watched it, but this time there was a video of the 992 type turbo S drag racing with Ferrari 488 Pista (although it runs 800m), so I watched it.
Since I was watching the tremendous acceleration of the 992 Turbo S on the straight, the 488 Pista has more power and lighter weight, but I thought that the 911 Turbo S would win in the drag race ^ ^
This time Turbo S is a cabriolet.
The drag race was run by professional driver Daniel Abt.
By the way, the language in the video is German, so if you turn on the subtitles, the English translation will be displayed for the time being. Well, even if you don't understand the words, you can understand the contents just by looking at it (laughs).
spec
The specifications of the two cars are as follows.
The Porsche 911 Turbo S has 650 horsepower, while the Ferrari 488 Pista has 720 horsepower. In addition, the turbo S weighs 1,710 kg and the pista weighs 1,385 kg.
Looking only at the numbers, it seems that Pista is overwhelmingly faster, but Pista is rear-wheel drive and Turbo S is all-wheel drive.
And the speed of the Turbo S at the first launch control start, and the well-thought-out aerodynamics by Porsche cannot be underestimated.
Race result
There were two races starting from a standstill and one race starting from a rolling start.
The results can be seen in the video at the bottom of this article, but the Porsche 911 Turbo S won both of the first two times.
The first is Porsche's overwhelming victory. The second time, Pista couldn't catch up.
However, in the race at the rolling start from 40 mph (about 64 km / h), Porsche's launch control advantage could not be utilized, and 488 Pista won overwhelmingly.
Of course, the performance of the 911 Turbo S is amazing even in the race from the initial stop state, but the 488 Pista is a model designed with more focus on the circuit, so it is not suitable for drag racing. It is also said that there may be times.
Well, that might be the case ^^
But this "Which is faster just by stepping on a straight line?" I wonder if this is fun for what I'm watching.
Here is the video (10:25: German) ↓
