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!

I wanted an EB110 or F40 so bad a few years ago, but I opted for a 1997 Civic bc of its bigger boot space
-
Shifting the F40 at 5500 RPM isn't a drag race, that's a leisure drive.
-
I’ve never in my life seen someone launch a viper like that without smoking the tires especially with that amount of torque that was highly impressive
-
That f40 sounds ungodly orgasmic. That's the most incredible turbo noise from a stock car I have ever heard, with that roar too! Omggg.
-
the frick man how you get this
-
I wasn't even EXPECTING this man. It's unreal how the team has came over the time
-
The coolest thing is that both cars come from the work of the passionate eng. Mr. Nicola Materazzi. He was the father of the F40 and after that worked on the Bugatt EB110 as well. What cars!
-
Matt, this was a great matchup. Maybe on better tires the Viper might have done better but it still managed to be neck and neck with the F40. Great show. Thanks.
-
That Museum gets all my respect for letting this happen. Wow! 👏👏
-
Respect to the Petersen Museum for even considering this, let alone allowing it to happen. The EB110's injury highlighted how delicate these iconic beauties are. Like asking grandfathers to run the 100 meters.
-
Matt has skills for sure! Launching a Viper that has no traction control is really sketchy business. Just like braking that hard without ABS to rescue you. Impressive!
-
I absolutely loved this drag race with manual gear boxes!!! The F40 is phenomenal!!!
-
For those that want to see an F40 driven properly relatively recently, check out Chris Harris driving an F40 and F50 back to back at Anglesey. That was something else.
-
Oh wow! The insurance clearances on this race must have been crazy.
-
Great video! Chris was truly a ray of sunshine 😁
-
Esse sim é um comparativo 100% puro-sangue e incrivelmente emblemático. Um encontro muito raro nos dias atuais. Parabéns ao canal. 👏👏👏👏👏
-
Can we just appreciate Mat's INSANE launch of that Viper?
-
That 12.2 second 1/4 mile from the viper was pretty unbelievable
-
I have seen many of Matt Watson's drag races , but that was a blast from the past !! What a cool drag race !! That F-40 has aged so well, still a sweet ride !!
-
Credit to the museum, credit to Matt for being the front to carwows success and making all this happen. I was surprised to hear that Matt doesn’t own Carwow, hope he’s paid incredibly well.
