Porsche Hypercar v Red Bull Rallycross: DRAG RACE
Thanks to everyone who helped organise this drag race:

- WRX: @RedBullMotorsports

It’s time for the almighty Porsche 918 Spyder to face off against a Red Bull WRX Rallycross car!
Let’s see how these two mighty machines compare. Starting with the Porsche, it’s powered by a 4.6-litre naturally-aspirated V8, coupled with two electric motors, which combined produce an incredible 887hp and 1,280Nm of torque! It’s relatively heavy though, tipping the scales at 1,674kg, and if you’re looking to pick up one of these in 2023, it’ll set you back a cool £1,300,000!!
Then we have the WRX rallycross car. It’s based on a Peugeot 208 rally car, and it’s powered by a 2-litre turbocharged engine that can produce 620hp. And as you’d expect, all this power is sent to all four wheels.
So the WRX will be lightning-fast off the line, but will it be able to take down the 918 over the quarter-mile? There’s only one way to find out… LET’S RACE!

Brilliant race as always guys, thanks for having us! 🧡 It was cool to see the WRX drifting around our 918, albeit nerve-racking… so cool! 💨
🧡💨
Thanks guys for all the cars for these epic races.
Thanks for supplying the cars! Lol I can't imagine how nerve-racking it was for you guys because I was worried too 😅
aww, you didn't have faith in timmy's abilities and skills? 🤔😲🤣😂
Remove the soft limiter on your 918 Spyder
The acceleration off the line from the Rallycross car is nuts - gets ahead so well early on that it almost makes up for its total lack of gearing for the 1/4 mile!

The concentration on the red bull drive is immense. Top notch vid
Apparently 0-60 in around 1.6 seconds
@@Smc-gm2nxPeugeot Oxia and Opel Calibra DTM can do 0 to 60 in 1.59. 1.59 seconds.
@@kodekun7267well absolutely does.
The 918 is honestly timelesss. Still a masterclass of engineering.
All of the original trio hybrid HyperCars still look like they came out last week
I get that’s it’s true, but there’s a comment like this on EVERY SINGLE VIDEO featuring the 918
@@lbnewell23 agree, those cars were ahead of its time
@@Matriarchy_FeminismSaid no one ever
Plaid can destroy that shit
you gotta love Redbull for allowing this kind of stuff
Damn those FIA regs allowing that restricted 2.0 engine to 'only' make 620hp.😃
@@Suicidal_Ideationswithout restrictors racing turbo engines can make ridiculous power, in F1 they made like a 1500hp with 1.5l engine, and that was in the 1980s
@@wwanimator For about 4km and then the engine was scrap.
Mat screaming "COME ON" gives the car extra 10 HP 😂
Yanni's school 😎
Dia Kurosawa's Buu Buu Desu Wa adds 100bhp tho.😅
This Poo-flavoured curry is a very real and disgusting thing The poo curry was created by chef Ken Shimizu. Sometimes, people create things that are so inexplicably depraved that we’re forced to question the future of humanity. The latest example of that? This poo favoured curry, which has been concocted by a chef in Japan - and comes served in a toilet-bowl shaped dish. Right. Mmm, tasty. And it gets slightly more unsavoury, as restaurant owner Ken Shimizu is a former star of adult films - and wanted to create a dish that reminded him of all the times that he consumed human faeces while starring in adult films. But the food is perfectly safe for human consumption - and took a dump colected poop made from Japanese green tea and the gourd fruit, while the dishes’ unusual colour is made by mixing in cocoa powder. Surprisingly, it seems that there’s actually a demand for it - after Shimizu surveyed 400 locals, and almost 90 percent said they were willing to give it a go. Fancy it?
Oh Carwow, you do make my Saturdays better with these drag races. Thank you 🙌

I think you should include a standard car in all drag races for comparison just to see how bonkers fast some of these cars are and not only compared to each-other. Someting like a VW Golf TDI or even a GTI (or similar very popular car)
No doubt. Add also Audi R18 TDI from Setsuna Yuki to this drag race list.
@@purwantiallan5089 and Toyota Corolla
It's probably too much effort, getting another car, focus the cameras, another driver, etc etc... But you can remember the time of a GTI in the 1/4 mile as reference.
Right like at this point I'm desensitized to how fast these cars are going

I couldn't help but imagine ken block drifting around that porsche 1 inch away from the bumpers if you told him to be careful 😂 Timmy is a great racer though, the way rally cross cars take off is hard to believe 👌
Imagine Dia Kurosawa also drifts that 918 0.6cm away tho.
Block would crash into the 918 if didn't hav 20 retakes and editing.
RIP Ken Block

never miss a single video, always bringing these good drag races 👌
And also Goated.
I always won't regret putting a smile on face everytime seeing that 918 Spyder on these videos, absolutely beautiful and excellent car from Porsche.
This guy was a perfect guest racing wise. Very consistent, and good. Even the breaktest... finally someone who's even with Mat and braked at the exact same time
Timmy is childish happy at the end. Such a smile when he stopped next to the porsche's door :D Pretty cool race!
I’m convinced they usually script the second race to give the slower car a win so that they do a best 2/3 cause ain’t no way Matt was slacking on the line like that on the second drag race only for him to have the wildest launch on the next one.
Ikr? Matt was busy doing his taxes while the Red Bull pulled away from the line.
Sure, especially when the cars are somewhat unevenly matched based on hp
Timmy jumped the 2nd start.
He definitely wouldn't have if Yanni was in the Rally car😂
Exactly what I was thinking
For me this has been one if not the most exiting races on here, great job :D
Man those Rally Cars are proper hypercar quick! And thanks to carwow, we now actually have a proper idea just how racing machines compare with road legal hypercars.
There's are lots of differences between rally cars and rallyCROSS cars. It's like comparing NASCAR with drag racing...🤔
A drag race between all generations of Golf R would be great! (R32s included)
Luckywinner ❤
What about a drag race between all Alfa Romeo race cars against R35GTR?
With the Vr6 too!
The Mark IV has to be there!
Has there ever been a Dacia drag race done? That would be EPIC. 😁😃
That would be shit 😂😂
Add Honda Civic TCR 500bhp and Lotus Type 49 in a drag race against this Porsche 918.

4:00 AM and watching Carwow. As life intended. 😊
4:00 am are u from USA 🤔
That was brutal! Tim jumped 3 out of four times. The first, second and forth race. It was so obvious.
Fr and no one is talking about it, Porsche still won though 😂
As a Peugeot driver I loved this race
The fact that Timmy beat you at all is a accomplishment in itself... I thought the 918 would wipe the floor with the WRX... Timmy is the real winner here❤🎉
The WRX never really beat the Porsche. Look at the 2nd and 4th launches, Matt is just sleeping on the line probably to let the WRX win.
amazing race , amazing to see this legend cars race !
Every time I see the 918, it's like witnessing automotive art in motion. Its engineering brilliance is just as spellbinding now as it was at its inception. Carwow truly has a knack for encapsulating the timeless allure of such masterpieces in every episode. It's not just about the speed or the tech, but the story each car tells. Who else here agrees that the 918 and Carwow are a match made in automotive heaven? 🚗💨👌 #EngineeringMarvel #CarwowMagic
Love the different toys you bring to the party Mr Watson, cheers for the epic racing
Thank you car wow for these lovely drag races. ❤️
Agree.
The drone shot for the drifting at the end was fireeee🔥🔥
The sequential gear changes of the RX were so quick! 🤯
918 all the way🎉🔥🫶🏿 what a masterpiece
I know it'll definitely be epic, 😎. Carwow videos are my new binge watching vids 😊
Carwow always made epic videos everyday.
That ending was amazing. As always, fantastic race and awesome video.
FPV drone shots adding an extra bit of sauce to these videos 🤌🧂 🔥🔥
Awesome video as always! However, now I’d love to see some more drag races of more attainable (for ordinary folk) but still exciting cars. Really enjoyed the Miata drag race from earlier in the week.
No doubt. Both are equally amazing drag races.
that's some epic drifting. i was very worried about the 918 being hit lmao
This might be the best drag race ever, epic back and forth race!
i love the "What will win in a drag race?" at the start of each video, gets me ready for another great carwow video
The Porsche as my summercar, and the rallycross as my winter car.
The sound of that WRX engine... normally, 2.0 ltr engines are still pretty boring, but once those rallye wizards get their hands on them, even a frenchie engine can sound amazing!
Great race for both gentlemen! more to come this drag race concept!
It's the weekend. Taking coffee, watching car wow.. the best moment of the day
Would be great to see what that rally car can do without its turbo restriction
That Peugeot 😶🔥🔥 bloody hell it's quick off the line 😅😅 don't forget there is better version of 208 and it's 208 T16 with 875bhp and 875kg 😶 get that for race we'll see clear win for sure I think 😅😅... Sebastian Loeb done world record in that car.
The race we've all been waiting for
Props to the FPV drone pilot, nice work at the end! Great race as always @Carwow 👊🏻
I really want to see Koenigsegg Gemera, Rimac Nevera and Bugatti Chiron Super Sport in one video carwow💀💀💀
Lmao! I’ve never seen Matt so obviously throw a race as he did in the second one so they had a reason to do a third…😂
This drag race was incredibly unique. That was really pleasant for me. Thanks for this. 💙💙❤❤🏎🏎
I just love you Matt and carwow man I am watching you since carbuyer ❤️❤️❤️
The Peugeot won, best of 3 😃 as normal.
Mat never disappoints us your the best ❤❤❤
Luckywinner ❤
Good to see a fellow Swede on this channel 👍🏼
That was a sic race need more like that Matt love it 👍👍
That launch makes up for the 4X hosepower difference
The Peugeot has around 600hp and the 918 Spyder at 887hp, so where is the 4x Horsepower?
Unrestrict the Peugeot!
Brilliant race and amazing cars
Gracias por este excelente video 👌🏻 Saludos desde México.
Matt, who does this more than anyone on the face of the Earth, completely sleeping on 2 of the 5 launches lol.
Timmy so clearly jumped race 2 and 4. He is easily a car length ahead of Matt by the time the official drops her hands. Porsche would own it on all races if he didn't jump that bad.
He didn't jump he's just too quick off the line.. that's for sure
@@ejdydmj1650 go watch race 2 and 4 again. In slow motion if you can't see it at normal speed. Really. Biggest jump start I've seen on this channel. Just an excuse to race the 918 again I guess. Lol
@shaunharris8143 I was thinking the same thing. Especially on race 2 I was like dude clearly jumped 😂
Red Bull and Carwow colabs never miss.
I love watching these talented young drivers!!
The drift at the end❤❤
best carwow episode so far👍
1:09 am here in the U.S.A I can’t sleep & im glad you guys just posted . Love the channel !!
Best Content on YT. Love this Channel
Love the edits, feels fresh. More like it
you guys do so many videos i can’t open youtube without a new one
Luckywinner ❤
one of the best races ever !
The smile on timmys face at the end is something we live for
Timmy needs to come back for another episode, great content
Mat's 'Come onnnn' give off Ronnie's 'light weiiiight' vibes 😂 Awesome race!
I loved to see drag racing with eurofighter Kristaps Bluss BMW 🤩
Great race, and the end was beautiful. I couldn't help but think about the scene from fast and furious Tokyo Drift
Those donuts were a great ending to this mad race!!! Cheers
Incredible!!!!!
Great vid!!
I dearly wanted the fourth race based on the results of the third one and Matt read my mind instantly.
Nice race and nice guy Tim 😊
Matt never fails to makr absolute god tier content
def one of the best races!
Amazing attitude of the rally car driver!
I enjoy your drag race competitions. Especially your positive attitude towards Porsche. My favorite Porsche was my 94th 928 GTS. Would it be possible to unite all generations of the 928 in a drag race?
I'd love that rally car as a sleeper, with no decal ofc
That would be sick tbh 😅 surprising and beating all the cars on the road 😅😃...
honestly we need a holy trinity race porsche 918 x mclaren p1 x ferrari laferrari
Great damn race!
the redbull cars joining these races have been a lot more fun. keep it up
This is the most epic hand drop frame by frame
This was a good race...I was on the edge of my seat the first and second race!...especially the second race.
That was fun to watch.
Nice... love Rally/Rallycross cars.
I love those Peugeot rally cars. And the 918 Spider is my dream car. Great video.
That Rallycross car got incredible acceleration and epic launch 🔥 And the drifting freestyle at the last was 🥵🥵
Great race as always, nothing less to expect from Matt. Please, make a race with the small SUV cars: GLA45 AMG, X1M or X2M and SQ2 🔥 🔥 🔥
That drone shot was epic
Cool drone shot💯
Great race guys!😸
Mat, we know when you’re deliberately slacking just get an excuse for another go, but we love it!
What a great PILOT!!!! That guy is amazing!!!
Carwow never disappoints 🔥
Luckywinner ❤
Great entertainment as always
Wow what a really nice drag race❤😊
