Motor Trend‘s annual ‘World’s Greatest Drag Race‘ is back in full force, with 12 muscle and supercars lining up for an all-out bloodbath of epic proportions.
The American car publication pulled together a class of 2016 at an airstrip to see which would be fastest over a quarter mile (402m).
The contenders were the new Honda NSX with 427kW and 627Nm of V6 and hybrid power; its compatriot the Nissan GT-R with 421kW of all-wheel drive wizardry; the 319kW McLaren 570S – already crowned ‘Best Driver’s Car’ by MT; Audi’s 448kW R8 V10 Plus; the venomous 8.4-litre Dodge Viper ACR track special; Porsche’s 911 Carrera S with 309kW; BMW’s M4 GTS with a water-injected 368kW/600Nm inline six; Jaguar’s 423kW F-Type SVR; as well as muscle car representation in the form of the Mustang GT350R and Camaro SS 1LE.
The Dodge Charger Hellcat makes a surprise appearance before the race begins, but its battery powered rival the Tesla Model S P100D is conspicuously absent.
