Hi how are you matt watson here from car wire so i’m sitting in a porsche 911 turbo s next to me is the new bmw m1000rr and next to that is the 2011 world championship winning rb7 red bull formula 1 car and we can have a drag race because that’s what we do around here it’s not anyway let me tell you about this porsche it has a 3.8 liter flat six twin turbo puts
Out 650 horsepower 800 newton meters of torque it’s got an eight speed automatic dual clutch gearbox with launch control four wheel drive still the lightest car 1640 kilos and it’s quite expensive around 160 000 pounds for one of these base price really that bike it’s cheaper 31 000 pounds but then it’s only got two wheels i guess and uh 1000 cc engine puts out
212 horsepower and 113 newton meters of torque it’s quite light 192 kilos it has got a man sat on it which probably add in about like 70 to 80 kilos his name is peter hickman now his five-time isle of man tt winner and he actually holds the world record for the fastest lap around the tt course at 135 miles an hour so he’s clearly slightly deranged because you
Have to be to be able to do that i mean i’ve got so much respect for the guy anyway finally we come to the formula one car it has a 2.4 liter natural aspirated v8 which revs to 18 000 rpm and it puts out around 700 800 horsepower weighs in at just below 700 kilos turns the price so the season budget for 2011 was about 250 million so divide that by four because
They had four cars we’re talking about 62 million pounds for that car it’s being driven by someone who knows how to drive formula one cards david called hard we’ll see what happens before we do please make sure you subscribe to this channel and hit the bell icon to turn your notifications on that way you won’t miss any of these amazing drag races also why don’t

Site now before we race let’s do the obligatory car wire sound check so i’m going to rev up this porsche yeah soft limiters all right that’s not great let’s get peter to rev up his bike go on rev up your bike that sounds better than this doesn’t it now let’s have a listen to the formula one car i think it’s going to make my ears bleed but let’s do it anyway go
On rev up the formula one car that’s enough for that let’s crack on here we go come on no pressure matt come on porsche we can do this come on come on come on here comes the formula one car now oh god and here comes the bike come on dc one in his formula one car i’m not sure about peter that was so close that was victory for you there dc quite clear yeah
Initial getaway wasn’t very good um message to tony and the team the engine has cut has stopped at the end of the one mile so you need to come down with the two vehicle or the starter no obvious times of any reason um so no small no feeling within the mechanical right just cut out no horrible noises can you store them can you store them yeah not at seven gear
Though if you want to just wait there for a bit i’ll go get you some help how’s it looking yeah it’s just a little software glitch we’ll just give it a tweak and then it’ll be right there just software yeah can’t you just turn it off and on again that’s basically what we’re doing were you a bit worried at first did you think i could have you but you saw me take
Off like that i wasn’t i could see it got away well and be honest that wasn’t my best start okay the next race will be interesting we’ll be doing the rolling race because i think that i mean unless you want to do another drag for me you look good the start looks pretty even yeah okay we’ll leave it at that now so then what exactly happened well the formula one
Car one completing the standing quarter mile in 9.6 seconds the bike and the porsche both took 10.2 seconds but the bike was ahead just slightly at the line now we have a rolling race from around 40 mile an hour we’re all gonna be in second gear i’m gonna call it in here we go get level dc come on get level three two one go oh i hit the limiter i hit the bloody
Limiter cancel abort i hit the limiter okay david we’re gonna try again so back to the start yeah sorry about that i i totally forgot to change gear like amateur hour over here i’ve got two professionals you two guys think me sorry apologies let’s do again so here we go get level guys come on i’m gonna count it in here we go three two one go that’s it come on
Now we’re hoping to catch them up on the other side i know that formula one car has just destroyed me and says the bike can the bike catch the car can i catch anyone before the mile i’m just a spectator right now this guy is so quick i’m like 180 miles an hour that’s the mile hey dc how was that for you did you win to the mile yeah just the bike comes back strong
It doesn’t have to be but it’s certainly got some top speed yeah he’s doing some little wheelies now to show off okay dc now we’re going to have a rolling race in third gear you’ve got to be in third gear i’m going to try and give myself an advantage here we go i’m going to count it in three two one go come on porsche pointless it didn’t pick up so quick
That time but it’s gone can the bike catch him is the point gonna come fast that is so close and here i come now okay now we can have a break test from 100 miles an hour when we reach the line full emergency stop all right let’s get 200 miles an hour come on guys get level right whenever it’s just light full emergency stop what’s going to happen i’m glad i’m not
On that bike here we go here’s a light oh my god just looked at his front wheels at least i didn’t lose that yes looks like you locked up your wheels there what happened you broke your car did well that time again oh wow i definitely beat the bike if you can hear me now if you want to check out some more videos with motorbikes you need to go to the bennett’s
