Mat Watson and the team at carwow<\/a> assembled one of their wildest drag race matchups yet, pitting the electrified V12-powered Lamborghini Revuelto<\/a> against two heavily modified street machines: a monstrous BMW M140i and a radically upgraded Audi S3. The goal was simple\u2014determine which machine could dominate both the quarter-mile and half-mile sprint.<\/p>\n

Representing factory engineering at its most advanced, the Revuelto combines a naturally aspirated 6.5-liter V12 with three electric motors, generating a staggering 1,015 horsepower and 1,062 Nm of torque. Power is delivered through an all-wheel-drive system, helping the hybrid supercar launch its 1,872-kilogram mass despite carrying a price tag north of \u00a3550,000.<\/p>\n

Its challengers, however, were anything but ordinary. The Audi S3<\/a> featured a 3.2-liter turbocharged V6 conversion producing around 950 horsepower and 900 Nm, routed through a seven-speed dual-clutch transmission and quattro-style all-wheel drive. Weighing roughly 1,600 kilograms, the Audi packed supercar-rivaling performance for a fraction of the cost.<\/p>\n

The biggest threat came from the BMW M140i. Beneath its relatively understated exterior sat a heavily modified 3.4-liter turbocharged inline-six capable of producing between 1,200 and 1,400 horsepower depending on boost settings. Coupled with an eight-speed automatic transmission and an all-wheel-drive conversion, the lightweight 1,475-kilogram BMW delivered an extraordinary power-to-weight ratio.<\/p>\n

The rolling races highlighted the BMW’s immense top-end performance, repeatedly reeling in and overtaking the Lamborghini once boost pressure built. The Audi also proved remarkably competitive, despite battling occasional shifting issues throughout testing.<\/p>\n

When the dust settled in the standing quarter-mile showdown, the tuned BMW emerged as the undisputed champion, storming to an astonishing 8.8-second pass. The Audi followed with a 9.9-second run, while the technologically advanced Revuelto crossed the line third in an even 10.0 seconds. The result demonstrated that, in a straight-line contest, raw power and aggressive tuning can still overpower the latest hybrid supercar technology.<\/p>\n
