It’s time for an almighty SUV drag race!
We’re starting off with the Ferrari Purosangue against a tuned Range Rover Sport SV, with the winner set to go up against the behemoth that is the Yangwang U8!
But how will they stack up when they hit the track? Let’s take a closer look at the stats…
Starting with the Ferrari, it’s powered by a 6.5-litre naturally-aspirated V12 that puts down 725hp and 716Nm. Power is sent to all four wheels via an 8-speed auto, and it weighs in at 2,150kg. As new, it costs from £313,000!
Then we come to the Range Rover. It’s packing a 4.4-litre twin-turbo V8 under the bonnet, and this usually created 635hp and 750Nm. However, this car’s been tuned, so it now puts down 670hp! Power is sent to all four wheels via an 8-speed auto, but it’s a fair bit heavier than the Ferrari, at 2,485kg. It’s a whole lot cheaper, though, costing £150,000.
Then we come to the Yangwang U8. It’s powered by a 2-litre turbocharged 4-cylinder petrol engine, but it also has four electric motors! As a result, it creates 1,196hp and 1,280Nm. However, there’s one issue… It’s super heavy, weighing in at 3,460kg!
But can either the Range Rover or Ferrari take down the U8? There’s only one way to find out for sure… LET’S RACE!
