The number one channel of automobile enthusiasts on YouTube, carwow, brought its followers together with a five-point drag race. The carwow team, which put Ferrari, McLaren and Porsche in a triple race last week, is now putting the Audi RS3, Mercedes AMG A45, BMW M2, Porsche Cayman GTS and Volkswagen Golf R cars to the test on the drag track. Unexpected results also emerged in the race, where the competition was at its peak. Let’s take a closer look at the features of the cars before we take a look at the drag race.
General features of cars:

Another German car in the second place of the race, the Mercedes A45, has a 2-liter 4-cylinder engine. The car, which has 420 horsepower, produces 500 Nm of torque.
