Cold Start. Drag race. 911 C4S against R8 Performance, GT-R Nismo and M850i

Anonim

Will the 450 hp of the new Porsche 911 Carrera S be enough to leave behind the 530 hp of the BMW M850i, the 600 hp of the Nissan GT-R Nismo or the 620 hp of the Audi R8 V10 Performance? At first glance, it may seem that the new 911 (992) will have no chance of competing with the most powerful rivals on the occasion, but…

I won't say the final results — see Carwow's video, that the eight minutes of video go by in an instant — but I have to mention that the new 911 turns out to be the one that impresses the most after carrying out the various tests, precisely because of the disadvantage in which it touches on the number of horses.

All of these “pumps” have four-wheel drive and automatic transmissions, with the R8 standing out for its naturally aspirated V10 and the GT-R Nismo for its… age — seriously, it's more than 11 years of life, of continuous evolution, it's true, but will it still be a… Godzilla?

The BMW M850i ​​turns out to be the most outspoken model in this group, more as a matter of “philosophical” than competence — the future M8 would be a more suitable candidate, just as the future 911 Turbo should be in place of the Carrera 4S.
