Audi RS6 Performance v BMW M5 Competition v Mercedes-AMG E63 S 1/4 MILE RACE

Which is quickest in a drag race? The new Audi RS6 Performance, the BMW M5 Competition or the Mercedes-AMG E63 S. Let me tell you about this car. The engine puts out 630 horsepower. You also have 850 newton-metres of torque, weighs in at just under 2.1 tonnes. So Rory mate, tell me about the stats on your M5 Competition. Slightly less power than you, 625 horsepower, quite a bit less torque than you, 750 newton-metres of torque, weighs just less than 1.9 tonnes. Let's move on to the Mercedes and Nick, give me the stats on that E63 S. 612 horsepower, so a bit less than those two cars, but 850 newton-metres of torque, which is absolutely massive. 1950 kilos this thing weighs. Well I'm going to race them over a standing quarter mile because I'm Matt Watson and you're watching Car Wow. This RS6! I'm not even gaining. Oh but the M5 is! That BMW's coming back though. Not going to lie my Car Wow guys, you were all totally crap off the line. Here we go, let's see how the owners do. Are they going to nail it or are they going to choke? Not bad guys, it was close between you two, but I think I dropped you away from the line, unless I jumped the start. Stewards? The stewards confirm it was not a jump start. Oh, what happened to the Mercedes? Where is it? Oh it's close! You got this! Here comes the BMW now, come on Audi! Come on, yes, I think I've got him. Beat the Mercedes though, didn't I Nick? You did, but not by as much as you did before. I got a great launch in this, it just wasn't great enough. That aubergine machine is something else isn't it? So then what exactly happened? Well both the BMW and the Audi did the standing quarter mile in 11.1 seconds, however the slow motion action replay shows that the BMW crossed the line first. The Mercedes came last, it took 11.3 seconds to do the standing quarter mile. Now we're going to have a rolling race from 50 miles an hour, the cars in automatic mode for their gearboxes and in comfort setting. First to the half mile wins. I'm going to call it in, three, two, one, go. Forever to kick down, the Mercedes has gone. Oh that kicked down quickly! They're miles away! The BMW's just walking ahead of me now, my god that's embarrassing. What we're going to do now is take the gearbox kickdown shenanigans out of the equation. We've gone into full sport setting, we've got manual mode for the gearbox, same thing again, rolling race, 50 miles an hour, first to the half mile. Let's go, third gear, can't see the speed, there we go, right, three, two, one, go, go, go, R6. Come on BMW, here we go, goodbye Mercedes. I lost again. Right, let's do the last challenge. Now we're going to do a brake test from 100 miles an hour, the car to stop in the shortest distance wins, and here comes the cones. Yes! Yes! Yes! The new Audi RS6 Performance, they have improved the braking performance because it's beaten the BMW and the Mercedes at something. It is definitely the best car at slowing down.
