Now this is a face-off that I have been waiting to see for about 15 years and I imagine many others have too. Richard Hammond from Top Gear takes the iconic Porsche 959 and Ferrari F40 to the Top Gear track and puts them head to head in a drag race, who do you think passes the finishing line first? You will just have to watch this video to find out!!

The Porsche 959 was in launched 1986 ,it produced 444 hp, had a top speed of 197mph which at the time made it the fastest production car in the world and then came along the Ferrari F40.

The F40 was powered by by a twin-turbo V8 engine and kicked 478 horses and 424 lb-ft of torque. It went from 0-60 mph in 4.5 seconds and a top speed of 201 mph.
