Corvette E-Ray Drag Races Porsche 911 Turbo S

The E-Ray lost the showdown but it demonstrated remarkable launch consistency and impressive performance

A private airstrip served as the setting for an exciting drag race filmed by DragTimes YouTube channel between two high-performance machines: the Porsche 992 Turbo S and the Chevrolet Corvette E-Ray. The Turbo S delivers 640 horsepower with an advanced all-wheel-drive system, while the E-Ray boasts 670 horsepower and a hybrid-assisted all-wheel-drive setup. Both cars typically achieve quarter-mile times in the low-to-mid 10s, making for an intense competition.

In the first race, the E-Ray achieved a stronger launch, but the Turbo S overtook it before the finish, completing the quarter-mile in 10.7 seconds. The second race saw a battery charge issue hinder the E-Ray’s performance, resulting in an 11.29-second run. After recharging, the final race saw another impressive launch from the E-Ray, yet the Turbo S secured the victory by three car lengths, clocking 10.4 seconds.

The Porsche Turbo S emerged victorious in all three races, benefiting from its lighter weight and precision engineering. Nevertheless, the E-Ray demonstrated remarkable launch consistency and impressive performance considering its price point. Maintaining an optimal battery charge proved crucial for its performance.
