In the automotive industry, the supercars of the 1980s are no match for a modern electric crossover in a drag race. A recent drag race at the Dunsfold track in the UK pitted a Skoda Elroq vRS against a Ferrari Testarossa, Lamborghini Countach, and Porsche 944 Turbo. The results are shocking, with the Elroq vRS beating all three of the 1980s supercars.
The Elroq vRS is an electric crossover with a 0-60 mph time of 5.4 seconds, thanks to its 335 horsepower and 402 lb-ft of torque. In contrast, the Ferrari Testarossa has a 0-60 mph time of 5.3 seconds, while the Lamborghini Countach and Porsche 944 Turbo have slower times. However, the Elroq vRS's point-and-shoot simplicity and traction advantage gave it the edge it needed to win.

It also features a practical interior with five seats and usable cargo space, making it a great option for those who want a fast and practical vehicle. While the 1980s supercars may still have emotional appeal, the Elroq vRS is the clear winner when it comes to performance.
The drag race was conducted by Skoda's UK PR department, and the results are a testament to the advancements in automotive technology over the past 40 years. The 1980s supercars may have been the epitome of speed and style in their time, but they are no match for the modern electric crossovers that dominate the market today.
