We’ve pitted an ultra-high-tech plug-in hybrid supercar against a heavy-hitting, twin-motor family hauler to see if instant EV torque can outrun pure Italian pedigree! It’s the Ferrari 296 taking on the all-new Porsche Cayenne EV!

Can thousands of pounds of luxury SUV really hold off Maranello's finest off the line? Let’s check out the stats…

Starting with the Ferrari 296, it’s powered by a 3.0-litre twin-turbo V6 mid-engined hybrid setup, pumping out a staggering 830hp and 740Nm of torque. All that power is sent strictly to the rear wheels via an 8-speed automatic gearbox, and thanks to built-in launch control, it squeezes every bit of performance out of its sleek 1,640kg body. It’s an absolute engineering masterpiece, but perfection doesn't come cheap, this beauty will set you back £279,343!

Then we come to the challenger: the all-electric Porsche Cayenne EV. Don't let the SUV shape fool you; this monster packs two electric motors delivering an astonishing 1,156hp and a back-breaking 1,500Nm of instant torque! It's an absolute titan on the scales at 2,645kg, but with all-wheel drive traction launching all that instant power, it moves like a guided missile. The price tag? A surprisingly accessible £130,900 alongside the Ferrari!

So, the Cayenne EV has a massive 326hp advantage and double the torque of the Ferrari, but can it overcome a massive 1-tonne weight penalty when the lights go out? There’s only one way to find out for sure… LET’S RACE!
