Video Description

The Ultimate Drag Race show returns — with the fastest V-8 non-SUVs! We race four German heavyweights: the brand-new 2025 BMW M5 Touring, the stunning 2025 Audi RS6 Avant Performance, the shockingly powerful Mercedes-AMG S63 E Performance, and the Porsche Panamera Turbo S E-Hybrid. With full instrumented testing numbers — and our trademark slow-motion replay! = Get a Quote for Hagerty Guaranteed Value Classic-Car Insurance: https://hagerty.com/jason This episode is presented by Valentine One Radar Locator: Find radar before it finds you https://bit.ly/Valentine1_Hagerty = The G99-chassis BMW M5 Touring is finally here, and we race it against the other hot wagon, the C8-chassis Audi RS6 Performance, which gets larger turbos for even more power. The Battle of the Wagons meets the hatchback Porsche Panamera Turbo S E-Hybrid, which shares its chassis and powertrain with the shockingly fast Bentley Continental GT Speed — and the Mercedes S63 AMG E Performance, which pairs an electric motor with a separate 2-speed rear transmission a la C43 AMG, but keeps its twin-turbocharged V-8 up front. In a world where SUVs dominate the market, here's a celebration of things that aren't — longroofs always get bonus points in our book. (Not that these rockets will need help in a speed contest!) And don't forget: at Cammisa's Ultimate Drag Race Replay, we combine weather-corrected, scientific instrumented testing with our entertaining drag race! No human factors here, what you see is a best-case, real-world race between the cars with perfect launches every time. And we even weigh the cars to verify manufacturers' claims! Spoiler Alert! Our Final Testing Results: 2025 BMW M5 Touring 717 hp, 738 lb-ft, 5420 lb 0-60 mph: 3.1 sec 1/4 mile: 11.1 sec @ 127 mph 2025 Audi RS6 Avant Performance 621 hp, 627 lb-ft, 4830 lb 0-60 mph: 3.0 sec 1/4 mile: 11.2 sec @ 122 mph 2024 Mercedes-AMG S63 E Performance 791 hp, 1055 lb-ft, 5830 lb 0-60 mph: 2.8 sec 1/4 mile: 11.0 sec @ 126 mph 2025 Porsche Panamera Turbo S E Hybrid* 771 hp, 737 lb-ft, 5260 lb 0-60 mph: 2.5 sec 1/4 mile: 10.5 sec @ 131 mph *The Porsche has earned the world record for the quickest accelerating internal-combustion sedan, both in 0-60 and through the 1/4 mile. == Contact us: Suggestions and feedback - [email protected] Press inquiries - [email protected] Partnership requests - [email protected]
