PORSCHE TAYCAN TURBO GT VS FERRARI SF90 VS YAMAHA R1M: DRAG RACE

EV Channels Review

This video pits the all-new Porsche Taycan Turbo GT against the Ferrari SF90 and the Yamaha R1M in a series of drag races and rolling starts. The Taycan Turbo GT, with its dual electric motors producing up to 1,034hp in launch mode, demonstrated impressive acceleration, winning the standing quarter-mile race with a time of 9.9 seconds, followed closely by the SF90 at 10 seconds, and the R1M at 10.3 seconds. Despite the Taycan's win, the Ferrari SF90 proved significantly faster in rolling races from 50 mph, highlighting its superior top-end performance. The Yamaha R1M, while surprisingly quick off the line and in a rolling race from a standstill, struggled to match the cars' acceleration and braking capabilities. The review also touches upon the technological differences, the challenges of launching powerful vehicles, and the stark contrast in braking performance between the cars and the motorcycle, with the Taycan ultimately proving to be the most capable all-around performer in the drag races.
