So which would be fastest over a straight line: a Formula 1 Grand Prix car, a Formula E all-electric car, or a World Rally Championship challenger?
It sounds like one of those conversations that you have on Friday night while out for a night on the town with your mates, the equivalent of who would win a fight between a bear, a lion and an alligator.
But that's just the sort of thing that BBC car show Top Gear delights in tackling.
In its recent Christmas special, the show lined up a recent title-winning Mercedes F1 car next to of DS TECHEETAH's Formula E cars, where they were joined by a Ford Fiesta WRC contender.
The latter is predictably quick off the mark from a standing start in wet conditions, as you might expect. But can it hold on to the early advantage against such impressive fire power from the opposition?
Place your bets, and then watch the outcome of this all-star challenge to see which of them comes out on top.
