When the latest Mercedes-AMG A45S arrived at the office, someone came up with the idea to race it against the W204 Mercedes C63 AMG we had parked outside. The thing is, that C63 belongs to our presenter, Ciro De Siena. Luckily he was on board!
And so we hired the Killarney Race Circuit, the quarter mile drag strip specifically, and set up what has become one our favourite drag races that we've ever produced.
We hope you enjoy watching this as much as we enjoyed making it! And of course please engage with us in the comments and on our social medias.

@@tiyani3154 tuning is a whole different ball game. A stock MK8 Golf R is way quicker than the S3 & A35. And those EA888s respond really well to mods. It all comes down to personal preference I guess and each one should just be enjoyed for what it is. Comparison is the thief of joy.
