Modern cars are incredibly powerful, offering high levels of horsepower that can be easily accessed. The latest iteration of the Porsche 911 Turbo S is a force to be reckoned with on the racetrack, and aftermarket tuners have taken it upon themselves to extract even more power from this model. In a new video, a tuned version of the 911 Turbo S goes head-to-head in a series of drag races against a stock Porsche 918 Spyder hypercar, showcasing how the performance gap between the two has diminished.

The Porsche 918 Spyder is equipped with a hybrid powertrain. The German automaker combined a 4.6-liter naturally aspirated V8 engine with two electric motors—one for each axle. This setup generates a total output of 887 horsepower and 944 pound-feet (1,280 Newton-meters) of torque.
