The authors of the Carwow YouTube channel are no strangers to racing in a straight line with the participation of the most exotic vehicles in the world, but this time they once again managed to surprise the audience with the selection of rivals for a drag race. The powerful electric-powered Rimac Nevera road hypercar has been compared to the Suzuki Hayabusa tuning hyperbike and the KTM RC16 racing prototype, which has been competing in the MotoGP World Championship since 2017.
The Rimac Nevera, a 1,914-horsepower hypercar powered by four electric motors delivering 2,360 Nm of torque, weighs an impressive 2,300 kilograms due to its 120 kilowatt-hour battery, which predictably makes the road model the heaviest entrant in the race.
The Suzuki Hayabusa motorcycle, even in the basic version, is one of the most powerful on the market, but the hyperbike participating in the races is equipped with a turbocharger. As a result, we are dealing with a 1.3-liter 4-cylinder engine that develops 380 horsepower and 340 Nm of torque, which fall on 257 kilograms of weight.
In the arsenal of the racing KTM RC16, in the saddle of which was the legendary Spaniard Dani Pedrosa, a liter V4 with 270 horsepower and 120 Nm of torque. This combination weighs a meager 157 kilograms – this is a centner lighter than the closest competitor of this race.
