In a recent video, CarWow lined up three super sports cars in a drag race, two of which feature electrified hybrid drive systems: the Porsche Panamera Turbo S e-hybrid and Mercedes-AMG GT 63 S e-hybrid, and the ICE powered BMW M5 Competition.
Among the competitors, the Porsche Panamera Turbo S e-hybrid holds the title for being the heaviest, weighing in at 2350 kg. It is equipped with a four-liter V8 engine supported by an electric motor, resulting in a combined optimum power output of 700 horsepower and an optimum torque of 870 Nm. The price of this car is approximately £146,000.
However, when compared to its rivals, the Porsche Panamera Turbo S e-hybrid will face tough competition. The new Mercedes-AMG GT 63 S e-hybrid boasts an impressive 843 horsepower and 1,400 Newton meters of torque (equivalent to 1032 pound-feet) from its 4.0-liter twin-turbo V8 engine.
Lastly, we have the BMW M5 Competition, which derives its power from a 4.4-liter twin-turbocharged V8 engine, generating 625 horsepower and 750 Nm of torque. It distributes power to all four wheels through an eight-speed automatic gearbox. Among the three cars, the BMW M5 Competition is the lightest, weighing in at 1,865 kg.
