The famous YouTube channel carwow, which organizes exciting drag races every week, organized a race that will delight car enthusiasts and race lovers again yesterday. The triple drag race they held last Sunday featured the F1 Car, the Honda NSX and the remote-controlled drag car, with unbelievable results. Now the vehicles of the two German automotive giants are racing in drag. The double drag race with Mercedes AMG Black and BMW M3 cars is very competitive. Before we take a look at the race, let’s take a look at the features of the cars.
General features of cars:
Mercedes’ AMG Black series car has a 6.2-liter naturally aspirated V8 engine. This powerful engine, which lies under the long hood of the vehicle, can produce 631 horsepower and 635 Nm of torque. Both vehicles in the race are rear-wheel drive and have a launch control system. However, the lighter vehicle of the race, Mercedes AMG Black, weighs 1550 kg. While the zero of the vehicle is worth 230 thousand pounds, the special model used in the race is around 700 thousand pounds.
The BMW M3, located just to its right, has a 3-liter twin-turbo engine with 510 horsepower and 650 Nm of torque. The BMW M3, which is heavier than its rival in the race, weighs 1730 kg. Although estimates began to emerge about the outcome of the race due to the differences in horsepower and weight, we saw that last week’s race with the F1 Car, the Honda NSX and the remote control drag car should not be deceived by appearances. That’s why the BMW M3 is ready to be a formidable competitor in this race.
In the first stage of the race, the launch control systems of the vehicles are tested. After this race with interesting results, the acceleration power of the cars is measured. The last race tests the brake systems of the cars. Now it’s time to watch the race…
