What happens when two Italian fighters go head-to-head? We’re talking about the Ferrari SF90 Stradale and the Lamborghini Revuelto in a drag race, of course.
Also – to reiterate – this was a classic drag race, not a ring fight, in case you were wondering.
Both cars combined cost around $1.3 million, making it a very expensive race.
One is more powerful than the other, and there was a clear winner even before the race ended.

Ferrari SF90 Stradale vs Lamborghini Revuelto in drag race
YouTube channel DragTimes pit both supercars on the drag racing track in a recent video.
Mind you, this race wasn’t in any way similar to the one with a Kia EV6 GT and a 1957 Chevy.
After all, these Italian beasts are the peak of modern engineering.
Before we get to the specifics and numbers — let’s have a look at our fighters — sorry, contenders — shall we?
On the one hand, we have the Lamborghini Revuelto, which features a hybrid powertrain with a 6.5-liter naturally aspirated V12 and three electric motors.
The ICE and electric combination sends out a whopping 1,001 horsepower and 749lb-ft of torque.
This power lets the Revuelto reach an impressive top speed of 217mph (352km/h).
Meanwhile, there’s the Ferrari SF90 Stradale, also housing a hybrid powertrain with a 4.0-liter twin-turbo V8 and three electric motors.
This powerhouse produces 986 horsepower and 590lb-ft of torque and pushes the supercar to a top speed of 211mph (339km/h).
The newer Stradale called the SF90 XX Stradale, produces slightly higher horsepower but is not that far off.
Two Italian contenders and one clear winner
Now, for the real deal — the drag race of the two Italian supercars.
Firstly, the Ferrari SF90 absolutely crushed the Lamborghini Revuelto over the 1/2-mile strip without breaking a sweat.
The Lambo, however, wanted to try again — which it did.
Over the next few races, the SF90 kept beating the Revuelto, all thanks to the turbocharged powerhouse.
Coming to the complex drag race result numbers, the Ferrari SF90 clearly won, but the Revuelto certainly wasn’t far behind.
The SF90 completed the 1/4-mile mark in 9.71 seconds at 147mph (236km/h) and finished the 1/2-mile track in 15.17 seconds while blazing at 177mph (284km/h).
Trailing behind was the Revuelto, which completed the 1/4-mile mark in 9.96 seconds at 143mph (230km/h) and finally crossed the 1/2-mile mark in 15.52 seconds at 175mph (281km/h).
Although this race cannot be, in any way, compared to the Lamborghini Revuelto vs. Tesla Model S drag race, the Revuelto lost yet again.
You might notice that the numbers of both the Italian supercars don’t have a sizeable gap between them, making it a close call.
But then again, one has a smaller engine, making it a distinct winner.
