The Diablo VT 6.0 was introduced right at the start of a new millennium, packing a massive V12 engine that produced 550 hp and 457 lb-ft of torque. On the other side of the track, running alongside this Italian monster, is the 918 Spyder. Powering this hybrid hypercar is a 4.6-liter V8 engine that runs in cooperation with two electric motors, for a total output of 887 hp and 944 lb-ft of torque.

There’s most definitely a huge power gap between these two, but that still didn’t stop the drivers from facing off.
