Imagine the scene: you're standing on a clear runway with 6 vehicles infront of you.
Between them they make almost 2,000 bhp. There are three bikes and three cars, four of them are electric but which will complete a 1/4 mile the quickest?
The brand new 691bhp Tesla Model S P85D? An ex-Italian SBK BMW S1000RR HP4? A £178,000 Ferrari? Or a 134bhp electric bike from a company that is best known for 3D printing?
Thankfully, YouTube has provided the answer but before you watch the video posted below, take a look at how the runners and riders line-up:
