What's faster: a car, bike, or plane?

It’s the age old question: what’s faster - a car, bike, or plane?

So to find out, a team from the Teknofest event in Turkey decided to line up three supercars, a superbike, a Formula 1 car, a private jet, and a fighter jet at Istanbul's new international airport in Arnavutköy.

The five vehicle line-up included a Lotus Evora GT 430, an Aston Martin Vantage, a GT-spec Tesla P100D (with Ludicrous mode), a Kawasaki Ninja H2R, a Redbull RB14 Formula 1 car, a Bombardier Challenger 605, and a General Dynamics F-16 Fighting Falcon.

The winner was Supersport World Champion Kenan Sofuoglu on the Kawasaki H2R motorcycle, closely followed by British F1 driver, Jake Dennis, in the RB14.

Third place was taken by the F-16 jet, flown by Erhan Gunar. The Tesla P100DL, driven by Emma Kimilainen, came fourth.

Yagiz Avci drove the Aston Martin New Vantage, and Toprak Razgatlioglu raced in a Lotus Evora GT 430.
