How’s THIS for a three-way German showdown?!
We’ve got Yianni in the all-new Mercedes-AMG GT 63 S e-hybrid and he’s facing off against Mat in a BMW M5 Competition and Daniel in a Porsche Panamera Turbo S e-hybrid. But which is quickest over the quarter mile? Well, let’s take a closer look.
Starting with the all-new AMG, it’s powered by a 4-litre twin-turbo V8 coupled with an electric motor, which combines to produce 843hp and an incredible 1,400Nm of torque! That hybrid system means it’s pretty heavy though, weighing in at 2,305kg! But it’s not just the weight that’s large, so is the price, with it costing around £174,000!
Even though it’s heavy, it’s not the heaviest here - that honour goes to the Porsche, which tips the scales at 2,350kg! In terms of power, it’s also equipped with a 4-litre twin-turbo V8 coupled with an electric motor to deliver 700hp and 870Nm. It’s a fair bit cheaper than the AMG though, costing around £146,000.
Then finally we have the BMW. Packing a 4.4-litre twin-turbo V8 under the bonnet, it’s able to put down 625hp and 750Nm of torque. It’s a whole lot lighter than the other contenders, though, coming in at 1,865kg. It’s also the cheapest here, costing around £110,000.
So the BMW has the least power, but will the weight difference prove decisive? There’s only one way to find out… LET’S RACE!
