In this drag race showdown, Mat Watson and his team from carwow will be pitting two hypercars, a Ferrari Daytona SP3, and a Pagani Huayra Roadster BC, to see which one is superior on the drag strip. These ultra-expensive hypercars weren’t exactly built for drag racing; you still can’t deny the fact that they have some superb straight-line capabilities.
The Ferrari Daytona SP3 features a naturally aspirated 6.5-liter V12 producing 840 hp and 697 Nm of torque, paired with a 7-speed dual-clutch transmission and weighing 1,600 kg. Its rival, the Pagani Huayra Roadster BC, is powered by a 6.0-liter twin-turbo V12 delivering 802 hp and a massive 1,050 Nm of torque.
Despite slightly less power, it benefits from a lighter 1,350 kg weight and uses a 7-speed automated manual gearbox. Both are rear-wheel-drive supercars with removable hardtops, designed to offer open-air thrills alongside raw performance.
We won’t spoil you the results—part of the fun is discovering the winner for yourself. To round out the carwow video, the two supercars also go head-to-head in a half-mile rolling start race. Curious to see who comes out on top? Hit play, turn up the volume, and enjoy the race.
