Mat and the team have flown over to Dubai to race a Ferrari SF90 XX against a Xiaomi SU7 Ultra!

The question is, does this all-new Ferrari have what it takes to beat an all-electric Chinese supercar? Let’s take a closer look at the stats.

Starting with the Xiaomi, it’s powered by three electric motors, and these combine to produce 1,548hp and 1,770Nm. This power is sent to all four wheels, and the car weighs in at a hefty 2,360kg. However, it’s super cheap, with the cost of the car in China equating to just £56,000!

As for the Ferrari, well it’s a whole lot more expensive - costing £670,000! It’s powered by a 4-litre twin-turbo V8 that creates 797hp and 804Nm. However, just like the Xiaomi, it comes with three electric motors, with the power from the engine and motors combining to produce 1,030hp! It’s also a whole lot lighter than the Xiaomi, tipping the scales at 1,660kg.

So does the much-lighter Ferrari stand a chance? There’s only one way to find out… LET’S RACE!
