1200hp RAM TRX vs Lamborghini Revuelto drag race

With the Aston Martin DBX707 dispatched of, the 1200hp twin-turbocharged and supercharged RAM TRX wants to make the new Lamborghini Revuelto its next victim.

So, we lined up at the airport in Wyalkatchem to see whether the beastly Dontex Performance RAM TRX has the goods to take on the electrified V12 supercar from Lamborghini.

The cars

1200hp RAM TRX

Tuned by Dontex Performance, this RAM TRX is not only supercharged, but twin-turbocharged. It makes around 1200hp (over 880kW of power) and we’ve fitted the car with drag radials to ensure it gets some form of traction. But, while it makes around 1200hp, it’s both heavy and not very aero efficient. So this will be a close one!

Before the Dontex mods, the RAM TRX uses a 6.2-litre supercharged V8 engine that produces 523kW of power and 882Nm of torque.

Lamborghini Revuelto

The Revuelto needs no real introduction. This is the successor to the V12-powered Aventador. Also featuring a naturally aspirated 6.5-litre V12 engine, the Revuelto is assisted by three electric motors. Two sit on the front axle, while another sits within the transmission.

That gives the Revuelto a combined 746kW of power (1001hp) and 1062Nm of torque and has a claimed 0-100km/h time of 2.5 seconds on a prepped surface.

The results

Okay so it’s little surprise the Revuelto won the standing start drag race. It has absolutely explosive performance off the line with a stellar launch control system plus electric assistance on the front axle. Plus, it makes about 200hp less than the RAM TRX, yet weighs around 1300kg less.

But, despite all of this, the drag race from standing start was closer than we thought it would be – as was the rolling race (even with me cheating a little bit!).
