More than 6,000 CV go head to head in the quarter mile in an incredible drag race of supercars

The ultimate Drag Race is back! Our colleagues at Motor Trend are back with a new edition of what they call “The World´s Greatest Drag Race”, a drag race featuring the most fun-to-drive sports cars of the moment.

The seventh edition of this quarter-mile race has a bit of everything, from muscle cars to Italian saloons, and even electric cars. Representing Japan we have the Lexus LC500 – a premium saloon equipped with a 5-litre V8 engine producing 477 CV – and the Nissan GT-R Nismo, one of the traditional winners of this test which in its latest version produces 600 CV.

From Italy we have the Alfa Romeo Giulia Quadrifoglio Verde with its exotic twin-turbo V6 engine producing Ferrari (510 CV), and the Ferrari 488 GTB, a red cavallino with 670 CV.

Great Britain also carries weight in this test thanks to the Aston Martin DB11 (5.2-litre V12 engine and 608 CV) and the McLaren 570 GT, a sports car producing 570 CV thanks to its 3.8-litre twin-turbo V8 engine.

One of the most represented countries in this race is Germany. The Mercedes-AMG GT R (585 CV twin-turbo V8), the Porsche Cayman S (2.5-litre engine and 350 CV) and the Porsche 911 Turbo S (4-litre flat-six engine and 580 CV) are the three German contenders in this test.

Finally, the host nation (USA) has up to three representatives in this battle: the Chevrolet Camaro ZL1 1LE (a 650 CV muscle car), the Chevrolet Corvette Grand Sport (460 CV naturally aspirated engine) and the Tesla Model S P100D (700 CV of power).

The battle is on. Who will win this seventh edition of the World’s Greatest Drag Race? There is only one way to find out.
