Can Maranello’s track-honed plug-in hybrid dethrone Sant’Agata’s flagship V12 beast? Join Mat Watson as he pits the Ferrari 296 Speciale against the Lamborghini Revuelto in an all-out, straight-line drag race!
The Ferrari 296 Speciale has a starting base price of £359,779 but this one here is £500,000! Powered by a 3.0-litre twin-turbo V6 combined with an electric motor, it kicks out a massive 880 hp and 755 Nm of torque. Power is sent strictly to the rear wheels through an 8-speed dual-clutch automatic gearbox, and it tips the scales at 1,500kg
Meanwhile, the Lamborghini Revuelto commands a starting base price of £446,000. Under the engine cover sits a naturally aspirated 6.5-litre V12 paired with 3 electric motors, producing a colossal combined output of 1,015 hp and 1,062 Nm of torque. It utilises an 8-speed dual-clutch automatic gearbox to drive all four wheels, though all that hybrid V12 hardware brings its weight up to 1,890 kg.
Which of these multi-million-pound hybrid supercars will take victory, and which one will leave its driver reaching for excuses?
