Maybe they were too blind to see, all 3 races were jumping start by a split second, and the first race was definitely a jumping by Yianni. But who cares now😅.......
Another thing is that Porsche has 761 hp only during launch control (they call it overboost). When cruising it goes down to 625 hp. It would be really cool and probably more useful (overtaking etc.) if they allowed driver to activate overboost with press of a button (similar to sport response).
check it frame by frame, (, to go back 1 frame . to go forward 1 frame) Yanni did NOT jump, when the arms start going down you go, and he went literally frame perfect.
For EVs, it would be great to see a 0-100-0 (mph) test, perhaps instead of the sound test. We know they’re fast, but it would be a good overall snapshot of their performance in acceleration AND braking in one
@@WEZ4136 I see your point, but taking this video as an example: the Lucid is quicker over the 1/4 mile, but the Taycan stops better. But what happens when both are put together? The Lucid will start braking earlier but the Porsche might edge out a win, only one way to tell: a 0-100-0 race
That Lucid Air Sapphire is a beast! I love seeing the banter between Matt and Yanni, they make the races so entertaining! 👏 Lucid really nailed it with their performance, and it's cool to see how the Taycan keeps up even with less power. Yanni totally jumped the start in the first race, and Matt did it in the third race. Such a fun video! Looking forward to more races with these two. 😄

Taycan Turbo S has 761 bhp but that's only when using the overboost mode, which is activated only when using launch control. On a roll the Taycan has "only" 625 hp, cause there's no overboost.
It was communicated like that, but for some reason, the Taycan activates boost mode in sport plus sometimes as well. Only for a few seconds again though.
It would definitely be interesting, but as long as manufacturers arent purposely lying about it, those electric motors shouldn't get anywhere close to the hp differences that some combustion engines might have. Significantly less points of failure/power losses.
The Porsche is better because it’s 50k cheaper that’s enough of a reason, if the lucid had a bmw badge or any other German make and is the same price, it will be the only time that it will be worth it, they could have put the Porsche badge on the i8 and called it taycan and people would have still gassed it, but the fact that the managed to increase the power for launch control is just amazing engineering but the lucid still has more horsepower but the Porsche is always gonna be more reliable so that alone deserves respect but the lucid accomplishment as an unknown brand is amazing but the pricing makes it more like a project

@@aussie2uGA only as good as the client - Tesla - demands them. I just knew about the problems from various videos, but your comment made me look up the actual data now ✌️😁 The Model S Plaid has 395/365 mm (F/R) brake disks, which is actually bigger than the Taycan's stock 360/358 mm (F/R), *BUT* while the Taycan has 6/4 pistons (F/R), the Model S Plaid only has 4/1 pistons (F/R), the rear piston being a swimming variant. That's absolutely disgusting, especially considering the Plaid's weight and power! Furthermore, the Taycan has air ducts installed underneath the chassis, facing the brake disks from inside the wheel house and thus passively cooling them with the natural airstream while driving. Tesla didn't install such a system at all. Have to thank you though. Learned something again 🙃
Lot of credit to Porsche for their Taycan beating a newer car with +350hp for the first 100 or so yards (and also probably faster 0 to 60 time). Lucid has still some work to do with their launch system or go to two speed transmission as well.
On the day this video is released, I’ve just read Rimac has achieved 0-100kph in ~ 1.7s. Porsche has shares in Rimac. Can’t wait to see performance of future top-end Taycans.
I've watched the footage over a few times, Matt did in fact jump the start in third round. The first time I watched it, it already seemed too fast, but 0.25x playback revealed he timed his launch a bit too early and actually went sth like 0.05-0.07s before hands started moving. Very good effort, but most definitely a jumped start.
I've got a great drag race idea. Get the lucid air go up against a modified car with around the same horsepower to see the difference between ICE and electric
It would be really interesting if these videos compared handling as well. For one example, you could try to find an open enough area where you could paint a corner with tons of run off. The car with the highest minimum speed through that corner would win.
I guess they're checking the replays on a small camera screen or something, because Yianni had a big jump in race 1 and Mat had a small jump in race 3.

@@P10634ikr? The lucid air sapphire absolutely claps this Porsche for the same price and it's still considered overpriced over the Plaid. The Porsche is next level overpriced.
Because as well all know. Mat is gonna take whichever car he thinks is quickest. But not every time it works out how he thought it would. Then he uses that as an excuse to say he doesn't choose the quicker car. He's like a politician.
By far the most entertaining video in a long time. It's not so much the cars, races or the results, but the engagement chatter between Matt and Yanni and Yanni's responses was just super awesome off the charts funny 🤣🤣🤣

@@currycel470 Good point. But maybe you can use it during track day ;)

Fifth Gear did this with a Taycan in a challenge against a Panamera. It was absolutely mental how quickly it did it. Check it out.

"Some people pay for speed other's pay for luxury "
I vote Yianni to be a permanent addition to Carwow content, the chemistry between these two is🔥🔥😂
Unfortunately Yani knows almost nothing about cars or automotive history. He is a posh kid who has money to waste going vroom vroom in cars that are as valuable as 10 years worth of salary
❤ 💋
periiod
Race starts at 8:05 if anyone is tired of the fluff.
A milk float race with a combined total cost of £340k……somebody wake me up please.
Electric car shouldn’t have “Turbo” in it’s name
True that
This is pure comedy 😂
Yanni had him off and I knew he would fail his best start on the 3rd race lol
Thank you Yianni, I knew I couldnt be the only one to think it looks like a Citroën. Although I think I said it looked similar to a C6
8 million + subscribers and the cohost is coming in a trainingsuite. I love how relaxed Yanni is with this, big ups!
Lol
Love this combo 💜 Wish ya’ll had swapped tho, wanted to hear yiannis thoughts on driving the lucid 🙏
I genuinely don't get the fascination with inviting this guy over and over again
Race so quiet 🤫 you could hear the drone at launch 😂.
For me Porsche all day long!
Not even a question.
And about the performance difference? Seriously?! Please....
Love the banter between these 2
10:19 that's definitely a jump
11:28 lucid is so fast 😮
Massive jump on that first race
imagine sitting in a 761hp car and getting dropped like nothing
The way that porsche drops in rolling race is insane!😊
Because in the rolling race Porsche has only 625hp.
10.3 in the ¼... that's truly staggering
Very impressive, how good the Porsche performed with so much less HP!
It’s one of the most expensive poorly performing EVs for the money and completely underpowered, that is not a good thing.
@@P10634ikr? The lucid air sapphire absolutely claps this Porsche for the same price and it's still considered overpriced over the Plaid. The Porsche is next level overpriced.
Yianni absolutely jumped the first start 100%
nope mat was slow 😂 😂
He took off 2-3 business days before he puts his arms down bro😂
How did they say he didn’t? 😅
@@marnixsmink lol
Always love the BroMance as much as the race! Haha. Well done guys!
What i would seeing is where you guys create a poll where we vote who gets which car before a review 😊
Because as well all know. Mat is gonna take whichever car he thinks is quickest. But not every time it works out how he thought it would. Then he uses that as an excuse to say he doesn't choose the quicker car. He's like a politician.
👍
By far the most entertaining video in a long time. It's not so much the cars, races or the results, but the engagement chatter between Matt and Yanni and Yanni's responses was just super awesome off the charts funny 🤣🤣🤣
Got your pricing wrong though. The absolute top of the line Lucid Sapphire is around £193k. The one you’re driving is under £100k
WTF.. 193 FOR THIS JUNK?
When Yanni went "wow, I got dropped" I died laughing😂😂😂
Just honest lol
How has Yanni never heard of Lucid? Dude, you're in the car business! 🤨
They are not popular in Europe
I've never heard about it either , its one of those brands like Zinoro or Zotye
Too stone lads for the break test!!!😅😅 Love you lads!!!!!
6min for nothing 👏🏼
