>>> Magnus Carlsen Marks 15 Years as World Chess Number One
While this particular drag race had a clear winner, it is worth noting that all three classics would easily beat the EV on a longer stretch of road.
Skoda caps the Elroq's top speed at 111 mph (179 km/h), well under the 162 mph (261 km/h) of the Porsche, the 180 mph (290 km/h) of the Ferrari, and the 188 mph (303 km/h) of the Lamborghini.
In any case, the flagship trim of the family EV with its dual-motor AWD setup produces 335 hp (250 kW / 340 PS), allowing a 0-100 km/h (0-62 mph) in 5.4 seconds.
For comparison, the 5.2-liter V12 of the Lamborghini produced 449 hp (335 kW / 455 PS), the 4.9-liter flat-12 of the Ferrari was good for 385 hp (287 kW / 390 PS), and the turbo 2.5-liter four-cylinder engine of the Porsche made 247 hp (184 kW / 250 PS) back when they left the factory floor.
Another advantage of the Skoda Elroq vRS over the classic models is its spacious five seater cabin and the generous boot capacity of 470 lt (16.6 cubic feet), making it significantly more practical as a daily in combination with the standard Dynamic Chassis Control system.
Despite its larger body, it is also significantly more aerodynamic than the wedge-shaped supercars, with a drag coefficient of 0.26 cd.
Performance is one thing, but the silent electric powertrain is no match for the glorious sound of the 12-cylinder engines from the past.
Furthermore, looks might be subjective, but we seriously doubt anyone would pick the Skoda over the Ferrari, the Lamborghini, or the Porsche in a beauty contest.
At the end of the day, it is fun knowing that a family SUV of today can outrun the coolest supercars of the '80s.
In fact, if you drive a Tesla Model Y Performance you can probably beat supercars from the '00s.
