STREET SAVAGES..911 TURBO S vs KAWASAKI H2 vs MCLAREN 720S
That's how you get off the line.
Oh, the bike's coming!
Oh, it's close!
So, what's going on, Gas Gang?
Today we are back with an ultra-cool freeway showdown.
We've got two tuned supercars versus a tuned superbike.
This is going to be mad, so stay tuned and let's get it.
Welcome to Officially Gas.
Oh, my God!
Let's get it.
But before we start, I just want to give a massive shout-out to Carly Connected Car
for continuing to reach out and support the channel by sponsoring today's video.
And guys, if you haven't heard about Carly Connected Car,
it's basically just this little device here which connects to your car via the OBD port,
then connects to your phone via Bluetooth and the Carly app.
And then after that, check it out.
This little bad boy here gives you an enormous amount of control and insight into your car's ECU,
allowing you to delve in with an enormous amount of functionality,
including thought information, customisation and live data, plus much more.
So, just a bit of an example.
I had a play earlier with my BMW.
First off, I connected the Carly device to the OBD port.
I then connected to the app via Bluetooth.
And once you're connected, you're ready to go.
I personally find this little Carly device so handy when it comes to the used car market.
So many people are clocking cars, and this checks for mileage fraud,
so it can tell you if your car's been clocked or not.
It also finds hidden or stored faults on your ECU,
so you can tell if anything's untoward on the car,
so you can walk away from bad deals or perhaps use the information found to get a better deal.
Carly Connected Car works for a whole host of different car brands, makes and models.
So checking my BMW's health with this smart mechanic function,
you can actually see that it comes up as very bad,
with 11 issues found, 8 of which are located within my engine ECU,
and most of mine are related to my exhaust.
It tells me if the faults are live or historic,
and also gives me the option to clear historic faults,
and also clears warnings from the dash light, the engine management light,
if it's no longer live.
And in my opinion, one of the best functions on this little Carly device
is the ability to delve in and completely customise your car to your taste and preference.
You can literally customise so many things,
such as daytime running lights, seatbelt warnings, comfort options.
Your mind will be blown at how many things you can actually change
and set up to your preference within your ECUs.
Like, when I bought my BMW, I didn't think my seatbelt extenders actually worked.
Turns out, they would just turn off.
So I turned them back on, and there you go.
Coding only takes a matter of seconds, it's completely reversible, and it's safe.
And guys, you know I've got to hook you up with a nice fat discount.

Let's get back to the video.
So welcome back once again to the OG Battles.
And today, it's a special freeway showdown.
We're back racing supercars against superbikes.
So you can gauge how these three insane builds compare when lined up to race each other.
We've got an all-wheel drive, a two-wheel drive, and a one-wheel drive.
It's going to be interesting.
So let's get over and meet the machines and their owners.
So first up today, introducing Jordan and his Stage 2-tuned, 925 brake horsepower,
1,000-newton-metre McLaren 720S.
Modifications include a sole cat-back exhaust system with titanium tips,
MTC downpipes, and a Stage 2 tune by Motorsport and Performance.
The 720S is running on semi-slick R888Rs on the rear and weighs in at only 1,420kg,
giving it a power-to-weight ratio of 651 brake horsepower per tonne.
And it drives only its rear wheels via its dual-clutch transmission.
And Jordan's going to be stepping up against me
in my 950 brake horsepower, 1,100-newton-metre ES motor UK-tuned Porsche 911 Turbo S.
Modifications include a ES dual-port methanol injection system,
ES custom equal-length headers, a full-turbo-back titanium ES exhaust,
ES custom hybrid turbos, uprated intercoolers, and a custom tune by ES Motor.
It's running on semi-slick R888Rs all round and weighs in at 1,650kg,
giving it a power-to-weight ratio of 575 brake horsepower per tonne.
It drives all four wheels via its dual-clutch PDK transmission.
And last but not least, introducing Tom,
stepping up on the 1,000cc supercharged 240 brake horsepower Kawasaki Ninja H2 SX.
Modifications include a straight-through exhaust system
and a custom Stage 1 tune by Jordan Bikes.
The bike weighs in at only 256kg,
giving it an incredible power-to-weight ratio of 937 brake horsepower per tonne.
But it only drives its rear wheel via its six-speed manual transmission.
The bike's got launch control and some other goodies helping it get the power down,
so this should be interesting.
And guys, today we are back on the big track,
so due to the extra space we have to play with and the power of the vehicles,
we're changing the test up slightly.
So it's going to go like this.
In partnership with RaceLogic, first up is a quarter-mile drag race.
Next up is a half-mile drag race.
And finally, it's a third-mile roll race.
Let's get it.
First up is the quarter-mile drag race.
And as usual, all tests will be timed using the V-Box PBT,
which will be measuring a multitude of data from across the races
and starts recording as soon as they start moving.
Right, so let's get a sound check.
Let's do it.
This is going to be mad.
All right, come on, Team ES, Team Porsche.
Ready?
There you go!
That's how you get off the line.
Oh, the bike's coming!
The bike is coming!
Yes!
That was strong, that was strong.
I kind of expected it to go that way.
I'm not sure who won out of the H2 and the McLaren,
but that was strong.
All I know is both of them got the Gapperoni.
And my 911 Turbo S hands out two one-way train-length tickets to Gappy Stan.
The Kawasaki takes second place, beating the 720S by about a car length.
That was epic.
For a bike, I still got off the line really quick.
Four-wheel drive, baby.
So taking a look at the OG Battle quarter-mile leaderboards,
my 911 drops into fifth position with a personal best of 9.59 seconds
at a speed of 150 miles per hour.
The 720S drops into first position on the rear-wheel-drive leaderboard
with a time of 10.14 seconds and a quarter-mile speed of 148 miles per hour,
making it the fastest rear-wheel-drive car so far in a battle.
Taking a look at the Kawasaki's time, he actually ran a slightly faster time
than the 720S with a 10.10 on a quarter with a speed of 150 miles per hour.
So heading over to take a look at the AWD 0-60 leaderboard,
my 911 hits a PB of 2.28 seconds, putting me joint fourth on the leaderboard.
The McLaren drops into second position on the rear-wheel-drive leaderboard
with a rapid time of 2.93 seconds to 60
and the Kawasaki H2 manages an epic sub-three-second time of 2.99 seconds.
And round one goes to my mighty 911 Turbo S.
And next up is the half-mile drag races.
This is where my AWD advantage becomes less of an advantage.
Let's see how this pans out.
So the half-mile is where these boys will actually shine, I reckon.
This is going to be mad.
Ready.
Come on.
Come on, 720.
Let's go.
Oh!
Oh, it's spinning.
Come on!
That's a race.
He's on his wheels.
Oh, Jesus.
Oh, it's close.
Come on.
All right, it's me and the 720.
Come on, can he catch me?
He can't catch me!
And once again, the 911 manages to hold off the competition
and makes it to the finish line first by about three car lengths.
The McLaren comes in at second and the bike takes last place.
Hey, Jordan, that was epic, bro.
Yeah, I'm happy with that one, mate.
That was bang on, that.
Taking a look at the half-mile times,
the 911 gets the quickest doing the half-mile in 15.12 seconds
at a speed of 178 miles per hour.
The McLaren achieves a time of 15.61 seconds
at a speed of 177 miles per hour,
and the H2 manages a time of 15.93
but at a lower trap speed of 151 miles per hour.
Checking the data, we found the low trap speed
due to Tom letting off the throttle way before the finish line,
so he could have ran quicker.
And once again, round two goes to me.
Next up is the third-mile roll race.
This is where the bike and the 720S should come into their own,
but judging by the difference in results so far,
this could literally be anyone's race.
We've decided to run this one three times just for science's sake.
Let's get it.
Right, guys, so it is the roll race now.
This is the one I'm a little bit worried about.
This is definitely where the bike and the McLaren will come into their own.
I thought the McLaren would have come back to me a little bit,
if I'm honest, on the half,
but we seem very, very evenly matched in power once rolling.
It's all about the start of this one.
We're going to start from 50 and get it going.
That's right, mate. Yeah, I'm good.
All right, let's do it.
All right, so it's in manual.
Oh, the bike!
No!
I'm pulling him back!
I've got him, though.
Beat me to the third.
I thought I'd just stay in it for the joke of it,
just to see if I could pull him back, because I was running him down.
I took him over. That was epic.
Hang on, excuses coming in from the 720, yeah?
We do another, Jamie, a whacked limiter on the first gear.
Change that.
What was that, mate?
It sounded like a load of scrambled excuses.
That was extremely close,
but the Kawasaki makes it to the third mile first by about a car length.
My 911 comes in at second position, and surprisingly, the Mac comes last.
Let's line him back up and go again.
That was epic.
Let's go.
Come on.
Come on!
That time, the tables turn, and I take the win by about a car length.
The bike comes in at second, and the Mac once again comes last.
I think Jordan was caught sleeping on the start line.
Let's do that again.
All right, so here we go again.
Let's get this popping.
All right, Jamie, I'll follow your lead when you're ready.
No!
Come on.
Come on, be the bike!
Messed up the start a little bit.
Messed up the start a little bit, but I'll give him that.
I'm happy now, Jamie.
Once again, the H2 takes the win by about a car length.
The Mac comes in at second this time.
I'm caught sleeping on the start marker and come last.
Taking a look at the best 100-200 kph times from the rolls,
my 911 goes 100-200 in 4.33 seconds,
the Mac hits 100-200 in 4.15 seconds,
and the H2 is the quickest with a time of four seconds flat.
And round three goes to the Kawasaki H2.
So, all in all, a crazy day of racing with surprising and mixed results.
All three turned out to be extremely well-matched in their own way.
There's definitely no denying the Turbo S's grip from a dig,
but also its surprising ability to hold up with the lighter H2
and the McLaren on the rolls.
All three turned out to be absolute weapons
and ran strong times even against strong headwinds.
And once again, a massive thanks to all involved
and a special thanks to Tom for riding the hell out of that H2.
