Is this one of the weirdest line-ups we’ve ever had on the channel?
We’ve got our hands on one of the all-time great Lamborghinis - the Murciélago LP640. And it’s lining up against… a Volvo EX90?!
You may think this race is completely pointless, pitting a 7-seat family SUV against a classic supercar. But these cars are actually more closely matched than you may think! Let’s take a closer look at the stats…
Starting with the Lambo, it’s powered by a 6.5-litre naturally aspirated V12, which produces 640hp and 660Nm of torque. This power is sent to all four wheels via a 6-speed gearbox, and it tips the scales at 1,765kg. As of today, it’s worth about £500,000, and it was released way back in 2007.
Then we come to the Volvo EX90. It’s an all-electric, family-friendly SUV, and it’s packing two electric motors which combine to produce 680hp and 870Nm. Given it has two motors, it comes with all-wheel drive, but it’s mighty heavy, weighing in at 2,725kg! It’s also a whole lot cheaper than the Lambo, costing £98,160.
So how will this one play out? The Lambo weighs a tonne less than the Volvo, but will the extra power from the electric motors prove decisive? There’s only one way to find out for sure… LET’S RACE!
