Thanks to everyone who took part in the race: Red Bull: @redbullracing Rimac: / rimac_automobili McMurtry: / mcmurtryautomotive Get ready for the most exciting drag race in carwow history! We have the Red Bull RB8 World Championship winner taking on the 1914bhp Rimac Nevera and Goodwood Hillclimb record holder McMurtry Spéirling! So let’s see how these two wonderful machines compare. Starting with the Rimac, it’s equipped with four electric motors that can produce a mind-blowing 1914bhp and 2360Nm of torque. It packs a 120kWh battery, so as a result it’s quite heavy, tipping the scales at around 2300kg. And as you can imagine, all that power doesn’t come cheap, with the Nevera costing around £2,000,000! Next to it we have McMurtry. This single-seater electric car is much lighter than the Rimac, weighing in at just 1,000kg. It also has two electric motors that produce around 1,000bhp, and it also has an incredible fan system that helps generate 2,000kg of downforce! As a result, it can shoot off the line like nothing you’ve ever seen! There’s a catch though – top speed is limited to just 150mph… After all, we have an F1 car, driven by Red Bull reserve driver Liam Lawson. He’s driving Sebastian Vettel’s championship-winning RB8, which is powered by a 2.4-litre V8 engine that produces 800bhp. It’s easily the lightest car here, weighing in at around 700kg, and all that power is sent to the rear wheels. So it’s an absolutely incredible line-up, but will electric power triumph?! Or will the F1 car come out on top? There's only one way to find out... LET'S RACE! McMurtry Spéirling and the 1/4 Mile Review: • I broke the WORLD RECORD in the 1/4 mile with this...
