We believe we have already demonstrated the Porsche 911 Turbo S from the 992-generation is a marvel of straight-line speed at this point. It has competed in drag races against a variety of cars (and motorcycles), with the Porsche typically crossing the finish line first.
Ferrari, however, begs to differ. The Ferrari SF90 Stradale took on the Porsche 911 Turbo S in this competition, which was organised by UK publication Carwow. (pawsitivelyintrepid) Considering that the Italian hypercar is significantly more expensive than the German coupe, the price difference must be significant, right?

If you concur, then you are correct. In the present instance, the Ferrari SF90 Stradale significantly defeated the 911 Turbo S in both rolling and standing start drag races. But it shouldn’t come as a surprise. The SF90 is significantly more potent thanks to the assistance of electric motors, with a total output of 986 horsepower (735 kilowatts) and 590 pound-feet (800 Newton-meters) of torque. Along with being smaller, it weighs only 3,461 pounds.
The Porsche 911 Turbo S, on the other hand, has a twin-turbo 3.7-liter flat-six engine that produces 641 horsepower (478 kW) and 590 lb-ft (800 Nm) of torque. It is 3,616 lbs heavy.

The Ferrari SF90 Stradale finished the quarter-mile sprint in just 9.6 seconds in Carwow’s drag race. In a drag race, a 0.5 second deficit for the Porsche 911 Turbo S was significant. This disparity is demonstrated in the video above.
Having said that, if you were a one percenter deciding between an SF90 and a 911 Turbo S, you can now know that the Ferrari got the best parts for the extra money you were spending on it. You get the idea. Of course, there are other things.
