Ferrari F40 v Bugatti EB110: DRAG RACE

THIS IS A DRAG RACE FOR THE AGES!

We’ve got the legendary Bugatti EB110, and it’s about to go head-to-head against the classic Ferrari F40!

So let’s see how these two legends compare. Starting with the Bugatti, it was originally released in 1994, and it’s powered by a 3.5-litre quad-turbo V12 that can produce 560hp and 610Nm of torque. This power is sent to all four wheels via a 6-speed manual gearbox, and it tips the scales at 1,690kg. When it was first released it cost £285,000, but if you’re looking to pick one up now you can expect to spend a cool £1,500,000!

The we have the Ferrari F40. It was first released in 1991, and it’s powered by a 2.9-litre twin-turbo V8 that can put down 480hp and 580Nm. All of this power is sent to the rear wheels only via a 5-speed manual, but it’s oh-so light, weighing in at just 1,350kg! It was originally cheaper than the Bugatti, at £163,000, but if you’re looking to buy one today it’ll set you back at least £2,000,000!

So the Ferrari is down on power, and it’s only rear-wheel drive, so could the weight difference prove decisive? There’s only one way to find out… LET’S RACE!
