911 GT3 RS V LAMBO V12 VS TESLA BEETLE: DRAG RACE

EV Channels Review

This video pits a heavily modified electric Volkswagen Beetle, dubbed the 'Bug Zappa', against a Lamborghini Aventador SV and a Porsche 911 GT3 RS in a series of drag and rolling races. The Bug Zappa, powered by two Tesla motors producing 800hp and 930Nm, surprisingly dominates the initial standing quarter-mile races, completing them in 10.7 seconds, significantly faster than the Lamborghini (10.9s) and Porsche (11.1s in one instance, 12s in another). The reviewer highlights the Bug Zappa's superior power-to-weight ratio and AWD as key advantages. While the Lamborghini initially wins a close race against the Bug Zappa, the electric Beetle proves its mettle in subsequent runs. The Porsche 911 GT3 RS struggles with traction, particularly in rear-wheel-drive configurations, despite its driver's skill. The video also features a rolling race and a brake test, where the Bug Zappa's performance is again impressive, though its braking capabilities are questioned due to the lack of ABS. Ultimately, the Bug Zappa emerges as the unexpected star, showcasing the potential of electric conversions against established supercars.
