- 911 Turbo S: https://www.instagram.com/petrolheadonism.club/ It’s time for an incredible Porsche vs. Porsche drag race! We’ve got Porsche’s 918 Spyder hypercar going up against a tuned Porsche 992 911 Turbo S! So let’s see how the two compare. Starting with the 918 Spyder, it’s powered by a 4.6-litre naturally-aspirated V8 coupled with two electric motors. Combined, they can produce 887hp and 1,280Nm of torque. Power is sent to all four wheels via a 7-speed automatic gearbox, and the car tips the scales at 1,674kg. Alongside it we have the 911 Turbo S. It’s still equipped with the same 3.8-litre twin-turbo flat-six as the standard car, however, it’s had the ES Motor 750 package fitted to it. As a result, power output has increased from the stock 650hp and 800Nm to 888hp (1hp more than the 918!) and 1,000Nm! It sends this power to all four wheels via a PDK dual-clutch automatic gearbox, and it comes in slightly lighter than the 918, at 1,640kg. The question is, while the 911 Turbo comes in at a total cost of around £210,000, the 918 Spyder is valued at around £1.4m! Will it prove its worth? There’s only one way to find out… LET’S RACE!

New MG4 XPower: A £35k supercar SLAYER!

This might just be the best value performance car in the world – meet the all-new MG4 XPower! Now was know what you’re thinking – how can an MG4 be a performance car?! But trust us, this is no normal MG. You see, whereas the normal MG 4 is equipped with a single electric motor that can deliver 203hp, the XPower comes with dual motors and the ability to produce 435hp and 600Nm of torque! That’s enough to propel it to 60mph in just 3.8 seconds! But here’s the thing, you get all that power for only £36,5000! That means you get more power than an RS3 for half the price! But how different is the MG4 XPower from the normal MG4? Well, it’s pretty much identical. There’s a bit of additional bodywork on the outside, and on the inside, you get some Alcantara trim on the seats and some red stitching, but otherwise, it’s pretty much the same car! The question is, can an all-electric crossover SUV really match up to the brute force and fun of the lesser-powered RS3 and AMG A45 S? You’ll need to stick with Mat and see for yourself! Chapters
