Italy and Germany go head-to-head as two distinct supercar philosophies clash on the drag strip in a Carwow showdown. It’s turbocharged power versus naturally aspirated precision in a three-part test: quarter-mile drag, rolling race, and braking challenge.
The Maserati MC20 brings a 3.0L twin-turbo V6 engine to the table, mounted mid-ship and driving the rear wheels through an 8-speed dual-clutch gearbox. It delivers 630 horsepower and 730 Nm of torque, weighing in at 1.5 tons.
The Porsche 911 GT3 RS, by contrast, features a 4.0L naturally aspirated flat-six engine producing 525 horsepower and 465 Nm of torque. While it may be down on power compared to the Maserati, it’s known for its razor-sharp handling, instant throttle response, and iconic Porsche braking performance.
Which will triumph—the Maserati MC20’s brute force and cutting-edge tech or the Porsche 911 GT3 RS’s nimble precision? This drag race is sure to leave car fans in awe.
