The cars are similar in performance, and the racing action is top-notch.
We are excited to share a new video from DragTimes. Although drag racing is a lot of fun, a new Ford GT facing off against a Lamborghini Aventador is not your average Friday night tune-and-test contest. This is exactly the type of action we get this time.
There are many supercars available, including a McLaren and a Lamborghini Huracan. Although there is mention of the Bugatti appearing, the video focuses only on the cars shown above. This is not a bad thing.
Both supercars come stock and they are pretty close on paper. The Lambo is equipped with a big 6.5-liter V12 that produces 700 horsepower (522kW), and it’s sent to all four wheels via a single clutch gearbox. Ford GT has half the number of cylinders and almost half the displacement. However, the Ford GT’s mill is powered by a 3.5-liter V6 that produces 647 horsepower (482 kW) using two turbos. The Ford.
This power is transmitted through a seven speed dual-clutch transmission to the rear wheels. The Ford GT is lighter at 300 pounds (136 kg) and has a greater power gap.
The Ford GT did a few solo quarter-mile passes before lining up and recorded a 10.85 at 131 MPH. VBox data indicated that the Ford GT’s zero-to-60 time was 3.1 seconds. This indicates that the rear-wheel-drive GT was definitely getting a good start.
The Lamborghini driver did not want to “mess” with the clutch during the side-by-side racing. According to the video, the cars launched from a rolling start at the line, instead of a stationary launch. This is a shame as it would have been quite fascinating to see these supercars launch at a dead stop. However, the roll races are still very close.
The video will reveal the result, but the screenshots should tell the story. Maybe the Aventador should have challenged from a dig.
