  • What will win in a drag race between the new Tesla Cybertruck and a Lamborghini Urus.

  • Well, I'm gonna find out by racing them over the standing quarter mile.

  • And it's not just any quarter mile, it's actually a new road that's just been built at Tesla's Gigafactory in Austin, Texas.

  • In fact, it's still being built.

  • There's like construction going off just over there.

  • There's a steamroller.

  • I wonder if I'm gonna steamroller that Lamborghini Urus.

  • We're gonna find out.

  • I'm Matt Watson and you're watching Carwow.

  • Anyway, let me tell you about the Cybertruck.

  • There's three versions available.

  • There's a rear motor version, a dual motor version which has a motor on each axle.

  • Then this range topping tri motor version which is nicknamed the Cyber Beast.

  • It has one motor on the front axle and two on the rear.

  • Combined, they put out 845 horsepower and 930 Newton meters of torque.

  • This car has quite a large battery pack. It's over 120 kilowatt hours

  • As a result, it's quite a heavy thing.

  • It weighs in at 3080 kg.

  • In terms of pric, well, the rear motor version starts from $50,000.

  • This rain stopping one starts from $96,000.

  • Though, it's actually quite inexpensive when you compare it to the price of that Lamborghini Urus.

  • And let's find out how bad that car from its driver.

  • Daniel aka racing driver Sam. How are you?

  • I'm very good. I'm a bit nervous.

  • Um, do you want to swap sides?

  • I don't think I can win this impending battle with this big scary bulldozer.

  • Come on, give us a stats on your car.

  • Well, I think we all know this.

  • This is the Urus Lamborghini, 4L Twin-Turbo V8, 650 horsepower, 850 new meters of torque, drives all four wheels, gearbox is eight speed torque converter.

  • It only weighs 2.1 tons.

  • Do you know what I'm gonna do? I'm gonna flash up on the screen right now.

  • The stats of the cars so you can just compare them side by side.

  • These cars are actually very closely matched on the quarter mile.

  • So it's gonna be really, really interesting to see which one wins.

  • What's your money on?

  • I think I have no hope off the line and I think the 1st 50meters I'm gonna be screwed, but I think you're gonna run out of puff and I think it's gonna be pretty close at the end of that quarter.

  • Now, my car does have a limited top speed of 130 miles an hour.

  • I'm not sure that's gonna come into play of the quarter mile.

  • But your car's top speed is quite a lot higher.

  • It's like 100 and what, 70, 80? We'll flash it up on the screen right now so you know.

  • Right, before we race though, let's just do the customary sound check.

  • Rev up your 4L V8.

  • That is a solid win.

  • Yes, it is.

  • This can make various noises.

  • Let's see if I can make it do something.

  • Let's try a different one.

  • My favorite of all of them.

  • Did you do a little windy pop before that horn?

  • Yeah, Elon likes his farty noises.

  • Anyway, regardless you won that.

  • Yes, I did. One for the petrol. - One for the petrol.

  • Right. Let's see if we can claw one back for the EV Brigade.

  • Let's do a drag race.

  • Let's do a drug race.

  • Let's do a drag race.

  • Let's do a drag race.

  • Let's all do a drag race.

  • I'm not talking to anyone. I've just got mad.

  • Engaging cheetah stance.

  • Three, two, one.

  • He's done.

  • Oh, my God.

  • Absolutely dropped.

  • That was on it.

  • Uh, nah, mate. Nah.

  • Yeah. Wow.

  • It wasn't the best launch it's ever done.

  • But that really puts that in perspective, doesn't it? 'Cause this is not a slow quarter mile.

  • And did it launch good for you? 'Cause sometimes I know the Urus can, like bog down, sometimes it takes off and goes and gets going again.

  • Didn't have one of its terrible boggy ones. But it was, there was absolutely no wheel spin. It was a little bit boggy.

  • I'd like another go.

  • Mate you can have all the goes in the world.

  • Oh, he had a bit of start that time.

  • Mine was a bit squirrelly.

  • Oh, my God.

  • Just keep on dropping him.

  • Wow.

  • I can't really see what your expression is because windows are blacked out.

  • Are you happy with that one?

  • Yeah. Do you know why that was a good launch?

  • But, oh my God. It defies physics and logic, doesn't it?

  • So, was that a much better launch than last time?

  • Oh, yeah. Yeah. Much, much better.

  • Still, absolutely no wheel spin here.

  • I don't know whether it's the surface or something.

  • It's irrelevant.

  • Even if this had a perfect little bit of slip and kept going, that's just gonna beat me by a little bit less maybe.

  • I don't know what to say really.

  • Do I have a go in this?

  • Yes, please.

  • There we go.

  • I think I might have had him off the line.

  • He was napping a bit.

  • But no chance.

  • I think I might have had you off the line there, Sam?

  • Yeah, you beat me off the line.

  • Well done.

  • Who won the race?

  • I didn't win the race.

  • I didn't win the race.

  • Let me just check something.

  • Can you just check I didn't jump the start.

  • This is Stewards. You didn't jump the start. I watched.

  • I just want to have one more go in this just to make the point.

  • Why not?

  • I'll tell you what, Sam. When I drove the Urus, it didn't do any of the silliness, it launched really well, I quite liked it.

  • Was it a good launch then for you?

  • We left pretty much simultaneously.

  • Yeah, I can't fault this launch.

  • Maybe the American ones are better.

  • It hasn't had any problems.

  • That's just, I mean, it's ridiculous.

  • It is ridiculous.

  • Now, here are the times.

  • So then what exactly happened?

  • Well, the Tesla won, it completed the standing quarter mile in 11.2 seconds.

  • The Lamborghini took 12.3 seconds.

  • That's quite a bit slow than we've had from a Lamborghini Urus before.

  • In the past, we've measured it at 11.5 seconds.

  • Now we have a rolling race from 30 miles an hour.

  • First of the quarter mile wins.

  • So, get level, young man.

  • 3,2,1, go.

  • Pointless.

  • That's just ridiculous.

  • What we're gonna do now is another rolling race.

  • But this time, I'm gonna go from 40 miles an hour and Sam, you're gonna go in second gear, see if that helps at all.

  • Ok. Come on then, let's go up to 40. Get level, 40, 40, 40, 40, 40, I'm at 40.

  • Pretty much. Here we go.

  • 3, 2, 1, go.

  • No, you got dropped.

  • You're with me for a split second and then bye bye.

  • But it was with you for a split second.

  • I have to take a little win from this.

  • Ok, I've got another idea though.

  • Let's head back to the start.

  • Ok, Sam, let's do the same thing again.

  • However, this time, I'm gonna count it in, I'll go 3, 2, 1 go.

  • You can go on the number two.

  • Yeah, I like cheating.

  • Let's do that.

  • Right.

  • Come on. Good luck.

  • Get yourself level.

  • Let's get to 40. 3, 2, 1, go.

  • Come on.

  • Come on.

  • I don't think I really have much else to say.

  • Yeah. I mean. I think that's a worse defeat than any of the other ones.

  • Well, there you go.

  • One last challenge. I might not win this one.

  • Ok.

  • Now we're gonna have a brake test from 70 miles an hour.

  • The car that stops in the shortest distance wins.

  • I'm gonna move myself closer to the brake pedal for added force.

  • Come on, then, young man.

  • Get level, 70 miles an hour.

  • Here comes the line.

  • Ok.

  • Here come my excuses.

  • I'm on mud tires.

  • You're on hardcore performance summer tires.

  • Sorry, I was yawning, so loud. I can't...

  • Are you, are you in the distance? I'm struggling. Hold on.

  • Oh, I can see you.

  • Yeah.

  • No, I think I won that.

  • Anyway, I hope you enjoyed the video.

  • You did give it a like. Let me know what you think of this Cybertruck in the comments below.

  • Do you like the look of it or not?

  • Yeah, it's gonna divide opinion, I'm sure.
