Two off-road performance cars are going drag racing! The off-road ready V10-powered Lamborghini Huracan Sterrato takes on the 1200hp twin-turbocharged and supercharged V8-powered RAM 1500 TRX from Dontex Performance to see which is fastest across the quarter-mile, both from a standing start and with a rolling start.

The cars
1200hp RAM TRX
Tuned by Dontex Performance, this RAM TRX is not only supercharged, but twin-turbocharged.
It makes around 1200hp (over 880kW of power) and we’ve fitted the full-size pickup with drag radials to ensure it gets some form of traction. But while it makes around 1200hp, it’s both heavy and not very aerodynamic. So this will be a close one!
Without the Dontex mods, the standard RAM TRX packs a supercharged 6.2-litre V8 producing 523kW of power and 882Nm of torque.
Lamborghini Huracan Sterrato
Build with more ground clearance and an off-road focus, the naturally aspirated V10 Lamborghini Huracan Sterrato is one of the best sounding ‘off-road’ cars on the road.
It’s powered by a naturally aspirated 5.2-litre petrol V10 that produces 449kW of power and 565Nm of torque. Just like the RAM TRX, it’s all-wheel drive and comes with launch control.
The results
This was WAY closer than we thought it was going to be.
| Car | 0-100km/h | 80-120km/h | 0-200km/h | 1/4 mile |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| 1200hp RAM TRX | 3.10s | 1.69s | 9.77s | 10.71s @ 208.18km/h |
| Lamborghini Huracan Sterrato | 3.37s | 1.82s | 10.82s | 11.04s @ 202.48km/h |
Both cars were fairly evenly matched in the standing-start race, with the TRX just nudging ahead. Things got even closer still with the rolling race, but the TRX ultimately came out as the victor!
