Mercedes Actros vs Scania R500 - DRAG RACE & 44 Ton BRAKE TEST!
Need help buying your next car? Click bit.ly/Help-Me-carwow and my team and I will help you choose your ideal car at a fair price - from Mat Watson!
.............................................................
It’s the drag race you didn’t know you needed… Until today!
Mat’s in a Mercedes Actros, with a huge 10.7-litre engine that produces 480hp! Alongside him, we’ve got Yianni, who’s in the Scania R500, with an epic 13-litre engine that’ll put down 500hp!!
It’s the first time both Mat and Yianni have driven a HGV, and given how they’re so evenly powered, this one is too close to call… And just wait until they add the trailers on as well!
Who’s your money on? Let us know in the COMMENTS!
Thanks to Daniel for lending us his lorries - / @thisisashville

I am still laughing... The speed they cross line 😂🤦🏽♂️
This the funniest shitt ever
Mate this was the Best Drag Race ever.
When Matt was getting of the truck lol 😂
Your awesome yanni... You make us enjoy watching together with mat... One of a kind, best duo...
Why not do hovercrafts
May have been a different result if I WAS DRIVING!! 😂
🤣🤣
Lol
Lmao
Of course mate!
Fancy drag racing a S720 or a Renault 520? Get in Touch if so carwow. I can hook you up
5:10 mat's reaction to the horn is priceless 😂😂
Actros air horn 🤤
Absolutely LOVED this episode! Had a huge smile from start to end. I can't imagine the immense fun those two had in the trucks. But that exiting the cabin though 👏🏾🤣🤣🤣🤣
He needed to try to exit the old Renault Magnum :D
The drag race nobody asked for but everybody wanted
As always
You mean needed, they didnt want it because they didn't ask for it.
@@IA_777 Just leave me alone, I know what I'm doing
@@IA_777 same applies, they didnt need it cuz they didnt ask for it....
Next Drag race: Me and Yianni, both in drag with full make up with dress and high heels running the qtr mile
Next Boeing 787 vs Airbus 380 Speed test and passenger braking and landing test
Up!
That's a mismatch there
Yes please Wait the a380 is a double decker quad jet and the 787 is the size of an a330
AN225 vs C-5 galaxy
More likely VS A350 or A330neo
How did the respective companies react to this race? I'm dying to know! Very entertaining and informative! Thanks so much for making my day as always!
I had the chance to drive the back then prototype for the 2017 Freightliner New Cascadia, with a DD 10 gear transmission pulling a 25T load. Suddenly we were doing over 120km/hr during a Road test. It was great. Loved the truck.
Next time: Boeing 747 vs. Airbus A380 | Drag race, rolling race and brake test from 360 mph
"brake test from 360 mph" lmao
Lol brake test, it'll be reverse thrust.
lol
Good idea👍
Lol
I dare say this is the most entertaining video you have made so far!
watch the BTS on the Ashville channel,
agreed
@@abritishguy7295 no
You don’t belong here
Yep! Cars were getting too predictable... But we keep watching anyway. 🤦🏽♂️
When you were towing, I notice the load cover was deployed on the Scania, opposed to an open load for the Merc. I still reckon the Merc would have got trounced but the Merc must have had increased drag imposed on it. But it helped with braking.
This was the most exciting drag race I've watched in a while. I went for a quick lesson on the Pel, got off and showered, made a drink, had my drink, then got back in time to see the end of the race. #AmazingRace .
Next time: London double decker bus vs london articulated bus
Absolutely 😂😂😂
Yesssssss. Do it
London sucks
Would be interesting as I am a London double decker bus driver
Daniel seems like such a chill guy, tolerating the children that Mat and Yianny are
lmao
@@EliasSchmid00 yeah it does
@A real bisexual petrol-head what? No - it's purely a joke - if anything I prefer people who can have fun and enjoy themselves. People like you make me sad that I'm a part of the LGBTQ+ community.

These drag races get crazier and crazier and I'm loving it😂😂
Next on car wow
@@michealmasi2514 carcow
8:25 1 mph difference is just enough for a lorry driver to start an overtake that is going to last for the next 20 miles
Yeah the famous “Elefantenrennen” the Germans like to call it
1mph difference is sufficient to complete an overtake in about 50 seconds.
@@motosnape how? I think it should be at least around 1 minute 20 seconds if my maths is correct
Difference in distance covered during one minute = 27 metres. Typical max length artic = 16 metres. Rigid+trailer can be 18.5 metres, but these are less common. Typically a lorry will pull out when he’s about four to five metres off the arse end of the lorry in front, he’ll typically pull back in when he gets a considerate flash of the lights from the lorry he’s overtaking to say, you’re all clear, pull in. Time elapsed = 50 - 60 seconds.
@@motosnape but 32 (combined length) divided by 27 (the difference in speed) is 1.185 minutes which is 71 seconds and that doesn't include the extra length needed to safely overtake
They are like 5 year olds in the trucks 😂
Bet you guys loved it though; it's a great experience. I've done it with a trailer and done a US Peterbilt unit only. I've found out not far from me just over the Thames in Kent there's a place to do the Kenworth too. It's defo on my bucket list as the w900 is my fave US rig.
Next CHALLENGE: Bicycle drag race between Mat & Yianni
Yes
Hell yea
Let’s like this to get the race
With body suits and everything
Oh yes, I wanna see that
Feel sorry for Daniel he's taking care of toddlers for the day 😂😂
I’ll keep this quick. I’m trying to save up for an iPad and it would really help if you could subscribe. If you don’t want to that’s totally fine. 😊
To the amazing people seeing this: I hope you are all doing well and staying positive and following your dreams My dream is 1K. I’m struggling , any help would be absolutely amazing 🔥
Best drag race ever! 🤣 The speed on the finish line....
I think even for a Diesel the gear changing at the MB is happening at a extremely low RPM, even because it was on power mode.
Just 2 men screaming “come on” to a steering wheel 😂
😂😂ikr
Seeing them in trucks make me want to see different vehicle races like buses, bikes, motor bike and all sorts of bizarre stuff
Buffalo racing
The bike sounds funny lmao
watch tanks drag race👌🏼
Chicken VS Rabbit 🐇
You don't watch bikes? They are the most interesting
Never stop making these types of vids. Sickest thing anyone has ever thought of.
5:59 That guy saying 321 😂😂 very Angelic 😅😅😅😅😅❤❤❤❤❤❤❤
It sucks that they didn't warm up the tires this time😔

I miss this type of contents nowadays,,had to re watch these😂
Let's just appreciate Daniel for lending them the lorrys,and giving us a magnificent race.
Thanks so much to Daniel.
7:47 I bet this is how lorry drivers feel when overtaking each other on dual carriageways.
Or there is a car driver thinking it's perfectly acceptable to do 45 mph on the inside lane. Lol
No.. i live in the US, I drive a chemical tanker top speed on the accelerator pedal.74mph, on cruise control 72mph.
Wayne Brown 56 on the limiter for the rest of Europe and UK 60mph is the max by law it has to be limited to 56mph the gap is for slight down hill sections.
This is one of the best videos you have uploaded, you and Yianni way out of your comfort zones!
Great show. You do seem to get great match ups. Tractor pulls, Mud bogs, Hill climbs, Pikes Peak and Monster Trucks, Custom Vans, Dune Buggies ALL rule. We come here for competition and a peak at amazing vehicles, makes us all smile. Keep laughing.
Idea for next drag race: Yianni in a Lamborghini tractor vs. Mat in a John Deere
It's a nice idea
Not a Porsche tractor? ;)
@@grantkruger3689 is that a thing or are you just joking?
@@michaelbono2766 Porche did an ad recently with it to brag that they will repair any of there vehicles no matter there type or age
That's sounds like a great idea
This is the weirdest drag race of all time but somehow it was very entertaining Edit: thanks for 500 likes :)
OMG.. kzhead.info/sun/oMmjZ6qNnWRoap8/bejne.html
It's so fucking cool actually. Although I never had huge interest in Semi Trucks, these things are actually really cool
Also, who wants an Actros AMG 63s?
Haha
I am waiting for Tesla Semi :)
14:06 this actually is like the same of sound and feelings when the moment you're in the airline, landing touching the ground.
The best drag race ever. Thanks for making my day 😂😂😂
i like how they played the womans voice instead of daniels for the countdown
Lmao yh

Hello guys! What think about this ?)))))))))))))))))))))))))))) kzhead.info/sun/ZZ2JqLuvhWuVo2w/bejne.html
I wish she could race 1 day
Mat in 2067: Racing a rocket ship with 45,000 HP to see who's gonna reach the moon first
Bro with 45k hp you won't reach the moon. A space shuttle has over 80 million hp ;)
And afterwards would be like "so what exactly happened???"
kzhead.info/sun/nbqdpNWfm3eCla_P/bejne.html
Rockets don't have horsepower
Who knows if the world will still be in that year
These both guys are fighting like kids 😂😂😂😂 both are my inspiration and favourite ♥️♥️♥️♥️
the way yiani said oh no .. when the actors was coming closer was hilarious 😂
Am ready to do the Loading Shovel Drag Race next... may be even slower than this though! 😂
That would be amazing 😂
Daniel youre such a sport! I love your channel and personality.
Get 2 510hp Larry's
2 510 Lorrys
Nice
We now need a truck drag race between Scanias and volvos... It would be epic.
Old 143 500 vs FH16 would be amazing
What about the busses
@@Dan23_7 true🔥
@@ekanshdutt2138 Sure.. include them too😂😂
As well as DAF
Braking test was absolutely amazing!
First race start: 6:00 Second race start: 7:23 Third race start (loaded race): 9:55 Fourth race start (loaded rolling race): 12:10 Fifth race start (loaded rolling race): 13:07
at the 6min point I was like stfu and race
Seeing Yianni in anything else than a chrome cyan Lamborghini is revolutionary
The Mercedes seems to be shifting for fuel efficiency rather than peak power, unlike the Scania which seems to be going full on Chernobyl
Yeah, it didn't seen as a performance mode at all. It was still keeping the revs below 1500. Weird.
That's because it's a Euro6 truck, it's way stricter. If they put a measuring device on the truck it's only allowed to output twice the amount of stated emissions unlike cars who are never tested while on real roads.
@@Pspgamer789 Both of them are Euro 6. And I haven't seen a Euro 6 truck keep it in such low revs in real life performance mode. So perhaps he just didn't know how to turn it to P...
I know nothing about lorries but I do know that they're way faster than these two I work in a factory and I've seen drivers floor these things and its mind boggling how fast the acceleration is I dont get why these were so shit
That's seems very true! I have a feeling of these trucks were given to actual truck drivers who for example would use that clutch on demand, these trucks could probably post a second or two faster for their quarter mile times!
Thanks carwow this video really helped me decide what semi truck to buy for the drag strip
Now you need to race a couple of coaches and a couple of double decker buses, that would be fun to watch, lol.😄
Maybe Ferrari should talk to Scania about being their engine supplier for F1 next year?
Lmao its hurt

@@TerribleUsernameAmirite at the top looking down at all the others childish games 😂
so funny when mat makes fun of the clutch on demand saying “hi clutch can you help me out?”😂
Yo this was hilarious 😂 probably one of their slowest races but they were so lit up😂
How can you not tell the Nm amout of these trucks, it's more impressive than their horsepower
You're right
The Scania has probably got more torque due to the bigger engine.
I think they both around 2500Nm
2350 Nm for the Scania and 2300 Nm for the Mercedes
Exactly
These guys are the new Top gear... love the chemistry Matt and Yanni have on video. Their competitiveness is hilarious.
Bro, they do only dragraces. And the grand tour is the new top gear

This is surprisingly more exciting than other car drag races Edit: roses r red, violets r blue, I got so many likes because of u! Thanks for the likes!
Right?!?
Yeah hhhhhhhhhh
Ikr really was indeed interesting
After 3 secs into the video, this question came to my mind
Ngl 😂😂⚡️⚡️
Wife walked into the room, while my phone had 2 guys screaming common...questions were asked...
haha
“I’m presuming it doesn’t have launch control” “Uhh… well… it’s got a stereo” 😅
Mat and yianni: *honking* Daniel: what’s with these people?
Next video tittle: “Queen Mary 2 vs Symphony of the Seas Drag Race”
🤣 now that would be something
😂😂😂
😆😆
🤣
😂
How could you not talk torque figures with a 10.7L diesel!! The thing has over 2000NM, huge torque!
2200 o rmore NM,but thr scania engine has very good torque at low turns(rpm), mercedes has good torque at higher. I prefer scania engine
For real!!! My electric skateboard only has 16 nM of torque !
Scania engine have 2550Nm
Torque is not relevant, Scania has more power and wins
@@rotorblade9508 power sells cars, torque wins races.
As a UPS truck driver in the USA, I found this entertaining as all hell!
Being from the U.S I don’t understand all your slang terms but this was hilarious you guys are great entertainment and for whatever reason this was more interesting then the super car races and I got no clue why
"The engine in the Mercedes will wipe the floor with that" YIANNY: ARE YOU SURE ABOUT THAT?
well the merc got an 10,7l engine with 480hp and the scania got an bigger 13l with 500hp.. Mercedes have a version of the actros with a 12,8l engine with 502hp , should have been quite even ;)
@@kjell9661 yet they said it would "smoke" the Scania 🤦♂️
@@kjell9661 that 20 hp loss doesnt make a difference on a 44 ton truck.. its about the torque curve between 900 and 1700 hp on most trucks... plus that 500 hp scania can also be a v8 instead of a straight 6.. mercedes doesnt build V8 actrosses anymore since the black edition... ( at least of what i know.. as i havent seen once since)
@@kjell9661 Merc gearbox is rubbish, the Opticruise in the Scania is miles better.
@@DerangedSloth555 volvo i shift
"I'm presuming there's no... Launch control?" "Er... There's a stereo..."
Best.
Lol
14:17 nice brake test😂😂😂
9:44 Yanny being yanny 😂😂
At this point I wouldn't be surprised if they do a bicycle drag race.
lmao u actually make me laugh
I would go further and proclaim they would do a donkey vs. mule
bicyclewow
And they'd actually have a chance to beat the lorries (at least w/ the 44t load)
that will depend whether or not Yianni has a friend with a bicycle store that wants some exposure
Anybody's realized that they had put the girl counting down voice while Daniel was counting omg...😂
That was worth watching just to see Matt getting out at the end,😂😂😂
Not used to seeing you still have time for radio chat during your drag race 😂
That was more entertaining than watching any Ferrari or lambo 😂😂
No cap
Wth is a lambo?
Surprisingly yes

I wanna see more funny drag races like this 😂😂😂
Hands down best drag race ever!
One of the most entertaining races 💀and the way they were so excited for going 56 mph is just amazing 😭
They can go faster if you knowhow, even with the limiter on 😁
And just to realize Yianni got a lambo which can attain 60 mph in like 2.7 seconds
56 on a truck feels very fast idk how to explain it
mat watson: drag races a truck 1.4M people: hmm interesting
one point four million view in ONE DAY...clearly we have useless lives ! :D
It’s is also in the German News That is why I clicked on it 😂

Basically, my dad's a lorry driver for the past. A lot, he drives a Scania P410 car hauler, lorry/truck transmission nowadays select higher gears like A3 A4 because you don't need the power, it goes lower with heavy cargo A2 or sometimes A1.
