THIS IS A DRAG RACE FOR THE AGES!
We’ve got the legendary Bugatti EB110, and it’s about to go head-to-head against the classic Ferrari F40!
So let’s see how these two legends compare. Starting with the Bugatti, it was originally released in 1994, and it’s powered by a 3.5-litre quad-turbo V12 that can produce 560hp and 610Nm of torque. This power is sent to all four wheels via a 6-speed manual gearbox, and it tips the scales at 1,690kg. When it was first released it cost £285,000, but if you’re looking to pick one up now you can expect to spend a cool £1,500,000!
The we have the Ferrari F40. It was first released in 1991, and it’s powered by a 2.9-litre twin-turbo V8 that can put down 480hp and 580Nm. All of this power is sent to the rear wheels only via a 5-speed manual, but it’s oh-so light, weighing in at just 1,350kg! It was originally cheaper than the Bugatti, at £163,000, but if you’re looking to buy one today it’ll set you back at least £2,000,000!
So the Ferrari is down on power, and it’s only rear-wheel drive, so could the weight difference prove decisive? There’s only one way to find out… LET’S RACE!

I wanted an EB110 or F40 so bad a few years ago, but I opted for a 1997 Civic bc of its bigger boot space
I think you made the best decision.... think of the appreciation of the civic over the next 10 years or so 🤔
Yup.. and ofc you can modify your civic but if you had done the same with your F40 Ferrari would give you a bigger boot space cease and desist letter lol
@@lombridiousso true 😂
The modern civic would actually beat these two
I get you. I got a Fiat because it has a shinier badge.
Shifting the F40 at 5500 RPM isn't a drag race, that's a leisure drive.
That’s the sad thing about racing these high value classics that are rarely driven.
Exactly. This video is just as fake as it gets.
@@realjoshuaW okay, but then why making videos of this nature? What's the point? To make the viewers believe something else? That's just straight-up dishonesty from Carwow. At least just say it as it is "Listen, we're going to make the race close because of X.", or "Listen, we won't be driving the Ferrari F40 hard, because the owner does not want us to", or "The F40 would smoke the Viper, so we are going to make it close by not pushing the F40 beyond 5500 RPM", something like that.
You need to consider that you overdrive the car and something happens, you will lose your house, lol.
@@andipajeroking sure, we totally get that. But might as well either not making the video or simply saying it as is "Guys the F40 is not going to be ran hard, we will be running it just for showing off..." something like that.
They make it seem as the cars go neck and neck all the way to the 1/2 mile mark, which is deceiving and in my eyes straight-up misinformation and dishonesty.
I’ve never in my life seen someone launch a viper like that without smoking the tires especially with that amount of torque that was highly impressive
It's easy when you're a car salesman and all you're doing is pretending to race in order to sell cars

That f40 sounds ungodly orgasmic. That's the most incredible turbo noise from a stock car I have ever heard, with that roar too! Omggg.

I wasn't even EXPECTING this man. It's unreal how the team has came over the time
u defo watched it 😆
Mat definitely cooked 🗣️
I have no idea what to do with that sentence. No one expected that man, except people in the know. Your thought makes no sense. Bot?
@@jochem1986 how cuh felt after typing that
nice bot lol
The coolest thing is that both cars come from the work of the passionate eng. Mr. Nicola Materazzi. He was the father of the F40 and after that worked on the Bugatt EB110 as well. What cars!
Matt has skills for sure! Launching a Viper that has no traction control is really sketchy business. Just like braking that hard without ABS to rescue you. Impressive!
That Museum gets all my respect for letting this happen. Wow! 👏👏
Ferrari Museum?
@@purwantiallan5089 no
The Peterson is pretty cool for doing this but they can afford an F40 clutch cuz you should already know you'll have to launch in a Carwow video
What??? Shiffting before the Turbo starts working? Wow 😢
@@purwantiallan5089it’s the Petersen automotive museum in Los Angeles.
For those that want to see an F40 driven properly relatively recently, check out Chris Harris driving an F40 and F50 back to back at Anglesey. That was something else.
I still remembered as the car that cant changed its rims on NFS 2015 game.
Yes... I've def seen that video
Relatively recently as in 10 years ago? I didn't see anything newer.
@@reliantncc1864 that's the one. I hadn't realised it was 10 years ago!
There is a video of Nico Rosberg casually driving a F40 in the hills of Monaco. He is definitely not holding back.
Matt, this was a great matchup. Maybe on better tires the Viper might have done better but it still managed to be neck and neck with the F40. Great show. Thanks.
I absolutely loved this drag race with manual gear boxes!!! The F40 is phenomenal!!!
Respect to the Petersen Museum for even considering this, let alone allowing it to happen. The EB110's injury highlighted how delicate these iconic beauties are. Like asking grandfathers to run the 100 meters.
True!
F. That. If these cars cant run why make them?
Only because it’s been sitting in a museum rotting away. Had it been driven regularly, likely would have been just fine.
Cars shouldnt be like grandpas. If i want to pull a million dollar car it should pull. Really sad for bugatti.
So where's the cut-off, should they be drag race ready after 100 years too? 200? @@niksonrex88
Can we just appreciate Mat's INSANE launch of that Viper?
It looked more impressive as the driver of the F40 respected the car too much.
@jusgoody Yes this was clear as it generally looked slow. He babied the car, can't blame Jim though.
nope, Matt did good but that f40 driver is just slow, babying the Ferrari too much
It shot off, i almost don’t believe it
There s NOTHING "insane" about it. The other guy is NOT racing AT ALL. He starts the car as if going for groceries and shifts at 5500 rpms! This video is simply INSULTING to this channel's audience. It shpuld have a big "WE KNOW YOU ARE ALL STUPID AND WE RE GOING TO SHOVE IT IN YOUR FACE" sign before you click on it.
Great video! Chris was truly a ray of sunshine 😁
This was such a treat. Big thank you
That 12.2 second 1/4 mile from the viper was pretty unbelievable
He jumped the start, and they refuse to launch the Ferrari
agreed@@pb6198
2million I don’t blame him
@@pb6198no he didn't stop hating and yea I agree it's wack they were taking the f40 like a grandma but still in the roll the f40 is a bit quicker it's ehhhh like ya moms
Same time they got out of the latest Supra@@pb6198
Oh wow!
The insurance clearances on this race must have been crazy.
Well he has done more expensive cars like the Chiron SS and Agera RS
@@stanleysimmonsreactions9056the Rimac Nivera too
There carz are appreciating assets so in the long run car payz for itz self year in year out 😊
@@ketovoreking5440that's why running them is crazy. Every mile more is value lost. But since they are a museum I don't think they care about it I guess
That's why they're driving them like they're made of glass
I have seen many of Matt Watson's drag races , but that was a blast from the past !! What a cool drag race !! That F-40 has aged so well, still a sweet ride !!
Aged well because it was ugly right from the start. Worst looking supercar ever IMHO.
@@ralfhenke677 Well, your eyes are painted black.... Best looking supercar car IMO. 😄
This is so damn cool , its like i live vicariously through these videos. I can feel every shift , mad crazy cool
Disappointed that the eb110 retired but the race between the viper and the f40 was surprisingly good when the launch was taken out of the equation
Yeah agreed regarding launch since these are rare cars do not want to destroy them..
but Even more impressive i really thought that Viper with V10 will destroy it but F40 kept closer
@poplaurentiu4148 Viper is heavier, less hp, doesn't have turbo and was 1/3 Ferraris price. I was surprised it kept up with f40
@@BARONsProductionsyep once that Ferrari hits boost that things shoots off
@@CaseyvlVisageHonestly, if the other dude was a bit braver with the launch, the F40 woulda shot off way faster.
Sounded like he was massively short shifting the f40, no way is that viper as quick as it
That f40 is just a piece of art, absolutely Gorgeous
It's incredibly overrated
@@FWYJBVFJUDshhhhh let people enjoy things
@@FWYJBVFJUD overrated because it’s a gorgeous design? 🤷♀️
@@rodolfokennis7793 for a boxy car it's good looking, but doesn't change the fact it's overrated
I wish they would have shown more of the F40 and less of that guy talking
I was lucky enough to get to see both of these vehicles last year in the @PetersenMuseum vault. They're both just stunning to see in person.
Thank you Mat , we really enjoyed your work
12.2 sec quarter mile back in 1991 is utterly insane😮
Exactly, now cars can do 8.6 seconds 😂
If memory serves me right, the EB110 actually did around 11,5s ;)
@@hassyg4083For US maybe in Europe we had McLaren F1...
Nah I'm sorry, Matt was giving it some but our friend in the F40 🥱 either babying it way too much or purposely driving slower to make it look close, guy was short shifting at around 6000rpm when, redline is 7750 with max power at 7000, I get it, it's an expensive car but if your not gona run it properly leave it sat in storage and run something else.
Have a lot of fun watching carwow drag races but not this one unfortunately
@@MrCourty89Absolutely agreed
I believe the F40 had a lot more to give, but I think it was misfiring and the driver short shifted when it started to misfire. You can see what I mean twice in the roll race.
Nevertheless, it was really cool to see these cars racing 👌🏼
Yeah sadly these old girls are at risk of misbehaving a bit, and are not cheap to fix. They deserve to be looked after and treated gently. Shame, but back in the day you could have ringed the neck of an F40 with no worries. I would still have the F40 anyway.
yeah he was definitely being careful with it
Also a shame they the XJ220 wasn’t there to take part.
Yeah, I was wondering why he wasn't letting her eat and driving like a grandma. It's times like this where you need Yanni ! 😂
I was about to say f40 sounded like it was definitely misfiring on the sound check
that viper/f50 race was brilliant good match up
Credit to the museum, credit to Matt for being the front to carwows success and making all this happen. I was surprised to hear that Matt doesn’t own Carwow, hope he’s paid incredibly well.
The Dodge doing 12,2seconds of 1/4 mile is something I'd never expect... Amazing.
Its got tons of torque so it should !!
Agreed. I was expecting like a 13 flat.
1st Gen Vipers are so sick
God told me that Viper was (and currently is) modified. He says the showroom stock will do 14 sec quarter mile.
Times make sense with modern rubber.
Matt has evolved into a genie at this point and is providing 80's kids with their fantasy races.
OH MY GOD watching a red Viper and a red F40 going at it gave me goosebumps. What a thing to watch!
This is an absolutely insane match up!!
There's something special about the F40. When it's turbos are on the boost it's so fast. Unbelievable what Ferrari made so many years ago❤
It was pretty evenly matched with the Viper but the latter came to 1/3rd of the price so how was it any more "special"? If anything, they did a very poor job if it can't even beat a Dodge, not that the Viper is a slouch or anything.
@@stefancristi2493 Stop playing the price card it's getting pathetic. An F40 is in every way more special than that Viper.
@@stefancristi2493but but but…one’s a dodge and the other is a Ferrari…also the first production car to hit 200mph. You know nothing
@@stefancristi2493and a difference of 10 years between them…
@@stefancristi2493who did a poor job, Ferrari or the driver here? This guy was clearly babying it. He wasn’t pushing that car at all. He was very easy off the line and was short shifting. You can’t judge anything at all from this video about the F40’s performance. Luckily there are other video’s where they do drive it hard.
Those turbos on that F40 sound SOOO good!
That's my favorite sound of all
wow, this is one of the greatest drag's I've ever seen. No to mention their ability to drive these cars, without traction control, nor abs, etc :) thanks for bringing it. and for the provider to let these awesome machines to be driven the way it is supposed to :)
Esse sim é um comparativo 100% puro-sangue e incrivelmente emblemático. Um encontro muito raro nos dias atuais. Parabéns ao canal.
👏👏👏👏👏
Your start in the Viper was phenomenal!
It would be interesting to see what the F40 could do if the driver would give it all in.
It's really amazing how these two brands evolve from the 90's to now.
Thank you this was awesome Matt
Awesome Content in this Race ❤
The F40, EB110 are refined, precise scalpels.
The Viper is a sledgehammer, achieving the same greatness with sheer brute force
it's strange how, both heavier and less torque. the power-curve must be sublime
It's naturally aspirated as well, so cute down on the turbo lag for better acceleration at points
What the hell are you on about?
@danielmartini3229 the V10 is a truck engine so the powerband is Yes
The F40 90% of its power at 5k rpm, the Viper makes 90% of it's power at 3k rpm
🤢🤢🤮🤮
Been waiting for the EB110 to make an appearance. Peterson has an impressive collection, cool to see them make use of the vehicles too. Bummer it shit the bed as it seemed like it wasn’t running that well after the initial launch on that run.
Here in Munich, Bavaria, Germany we have a Collector who owns not 1, not 2 but 3! EB110s and he drives them all regularly, including at high speeds for longer times on the Autobahn.
He isn't the "I cant drive the Car because muh investment" type like sadly so many Collectors in the USA, he's a real Car Enthusiast and drives all of his Cars regularly.
My point being, i think the issues with the EB110 in this Video are because it's a Museum Piece. Most Cars like this NEED to be driven regularly or they will just degrade.
Either way, still awesome from the Petersen Museum to make this happen, so kudos for that at least!
Prost & Cheers from the Bavarian Alps
@@chartreux1532A bot comment. You posted this somewhere else. 😂
Loved the Viper when it came out, looked awesome, different from everything else I had seen at the time. But the F40 has a special place in my heart and always will. Just gorgeous!
Right? im pretty young and i just love the way the f40 looks
I am impressed by the F40’s final finish lmao, the EB110 did get that start but the F40 caught up lmao, love that
When the F40 turbos kick in it becomes a rocket. It's one of the reasons why it's so hard to drive, it's difficult to predict when the turbos power kick in, and so a lot of unexperienced drivers get hurt.
Carwow you continue to bring the best drag races🔥🔥
As always 🔥
Video released 58 minutes ago, your comment 57. Get a grip Jesus, at least watch the video 💀
@@BathykolpianHe reads the title and than posted his comment. You do realize that these two cars have beautiful history.
Jesus, that Viper launch was absolutely crazy.
With some nice clutch smoke as well.
Chris did it 3 times this video was legen wait for it daaary!
Awesome , I didn’t expect any of that from that viper. F40 and eb110 are beautiful as always.
Gotta see the Diablo sv and the f40 race someday. This race was crazy I never thought I’d see the day theses car would ever race.@carwow you are the goat for setting up impossible races
12.2 in a stock Gen 1 Viper is impressive considering there are Gen 2 GTS coupes that struggle to hit low twelves. Now we need Venom GT vs Agera R 👍
I thought the same.12.2 in 1991? What was that?!
To OP.
If you can find *an actual Venom GT*
Somehow the Koenigsegg owners are driving theirs all over the world and show what they're capable of...
While the same can't be said of the "owners" of that other car.
How many were actually sold and how many are driven in their "record" spec??
You'd better find a challenger to the Agera R *which might actually show up*
Just looking at how the car launched, he lucked out getting a viper with new tires on it. Too many times exotic car owners keep aging tires just because there is still tread on it. He definitely knew where the shift points were.
the dude with the F40 shifts extremely early
That original viper was what got me into cars when i was 3 years old! Classic
Great to see an F40 actually driving for once. Seen plenty static. Just to hear it running is great. It was treated with a lot of restraint - entirely understandable for motoring masterpiece (and value 😊)
Look up "Gercollector F40", if you want so see some F40 Autobahn Action :)
And it was missfiring 😂
The Viper is also an icon and deserves to be respected and valued far more than it is!
Production numbers. Lots of Vipers, more Vettes, but only 500 Enzos.
440 Six Pack 'Cuda vert is the king daddy of them all...12, ever.
@@rocketpigrecords3719the Gtc is about 200-240k right now one of my dream cars man
The Viper just looks cheap and vulgar in comparison to this F40. Not even in the same category.
@@jerometournier5467well it was a 1/5 of the price and I think it represented itself pretty well
@@jerometournier5467well it’s a Gen 1, and that was the whole point of it. Cheap speed.
Omg bro finally the thing to solve my needs I can finally see a f40 vs eb110
that viper start was crazy😮
As a child I had all 3 of them in 1:18 by Burago. Endless hours of setting up races like this.
It feels almost unreal to see them racing in real life 🤣🤣😂
I've still got all 3
I still have the Viper and Bugatti plus a few others.
I still have the original Viper models on my nightstand from the show Viper! Both the red t top and the silver hardtop!
Mee too 😂
Hear you bro.
Props to you guys for managing to pull off a race that we'd never expect. A very legendary race indeed.
For a man born in the 80's, that was trully epic!
Thank you Matt and the team!
Probably my favorite video so far....Bravo! 👏🏽
Gorgeous EB110 and look at that Viper keeping up with the F40 !!!
Only matt can bring these two gems in a video

Great battle 👏👏👏
This One Video Was about some minutes to be top 1 most like d video of the whole Car wow channel, but "wind blows in a way that ships do not want"
matt can get any car to dragrace, absolutely insane
The eb110 is legit the most underrated supercar.... It doesnt get its praise and the f40 is also a legend.
Because it is really ugly
Dude! I owned this viper but in yellow. Didn't know it was about as fast as an f40! Pretty cool.
The second I saw Ferrari F40 I knew I had to click it. Such an epic comparison, this is the stuff we dreamed about growing up.
12.2 in the old Viper is booking, especially back then. 13.8 for the Ferrari is pretty weak, but the driver appears to be babying it.
Oh completely. You could tell he was babying it from the beginning of the video when he didn’t even rev it fully.
He is - when you look at the cockpit shots, he is shifting at 5500rpm.
I love the F40 and EB 110 with all their turbos, but that viper really is a beast considering its naturally aspirated.
The viper is affordable too.
Should it not be a beast being 8.0L? 🤣 so little HP for so much displacement.
@@tstret3104it might not have a lot of HP stock, but that beast of an engine takes boost like a light snack.
F40 is not pure cause of turbo. Ferrari always were atmospheric. Why they make F50 atmospheric? They should continue to design turbo cars. Instead they retire and abandoned F40 like traitors.
@@tstret3104 Viper can run lot of thousand kms whitout very expensive and often service. Both competitors are wonderfull but I'd take Viper.
Very cool episode!
The blue Eb110 from UK magazine cover was what dreams were made of, especially when they told us the specs. Still a total dream car for me, along with Jag.
Mega Drag Race and boyhood Dream - would love to see the full potential of that F40 though, I think it might even be a good bit quicker when not shifted 2krpm before it’s redline 😂 (it’s definitely able to do 11 somethings)
That guy in the f40 Is like his on a Sunday drive 😢
Protecting his asset
Same, but I totally understand why he does that, the parts are probably worth more than my entire car...
He was shifting so early as it was misfiring
Mat is like a wizard of cars, he shows up to drag race and amazing cars just appear
And always jumped the start of those drag races.
We need more 90' and 00's car races with this kinda roll, just do one drag and not dump the clutch so you keep em comingnback

Please more of these 90's supercars❤
Great race with some old cars. Its very good to see how they perform. Thank you to everyone involved.
That lil boy turbo is the quick spooling one and when the big boi kickes in and ite ova
Awesome race!
This is absolutely crazy!!! Congrats Carwow! You guys have come a long way! Kudos to ya too @mat!
Mat truly does the craziest races, I mean who would've thought of such a race it's unbelievable ❤
id say the viper has the advantage of being NA it´s harder to send a turbo charged car because you have to consider when boost is gonna kick in and peak for the first 2 shifts to have the right amount of power. but man these racer where amazing. my favorite cars in a drag race. im a 90´s baby so all these cars i had as hot wheels
Crazy race
There is something so special about drag races in manual cars. The pause on the upshifts just adds to the excitement.
Man. Gotta appreciate the subtlety of old supercars sounds. They don't sound too loud, too mean, but it rips so hard. ❤
Even w all the Bugatti's advantages, you just can't beat the look of the F40. It's simple yet elegant, but brutal. A pure driving experience. Pretty close to Formula for the street.
Hey Matt, I love your videos. Is it possible to add the speed of each vehicle at 1/4 mile?
the blow off valve noise from he F40 Is just Insane! man what a timeless car
Yeah first time I've heard an original going through the gears
Now this is legendary!
Let's get the Ferrari Enzo vs Mclaren F1 next.
You have made our 90s car dreams come true
Incredible and insane imagine if you guys also had an F1 or countach there too
These are absolutely legendary cars. Nice to see them rolling and not catching dust in museums. Good work Matt!
I remember the F40 looking so amazing back in the day. it still looks great now when some of it's competitors are looking dated. Lovely car.
Just got that “Cruisin’ USA” arcade game vibes!
the best Carwow episode, that I have seen
