Tuned Super Saloons Face Off in Epic Drag Race: BMW M5 Takes the Crown

Many modern-day performance cars feature turbocharging as a method of improving fuel economy without sacrificing power. While they might not sound as good as a naturally-aspirated V8, they benefit from how easily tuners can pull more power out of them. That’s on full display in this race of tuned super saloons.

Power and Torque Figures

Right off the bat, we’ll say that all three of these monsters make the same 737 lb-ft (1,000 Nm) of torque, but the other figures are a bit different. The Audi RS6 and the BMW M5 each make 750 hp (559 kW), while the Mercedes E63 S AMG takes the lead with 810 hp (604 kW).

Drag Race Showdown

Now, let’s get to the exciting part – the drag race. In this head-to-head battle, the three super saloons go all out to see who reigns supreme. Kicking things off, all three cars get a decent launch from a dig, but it’s the BMW M5 that runs away as the sole victor. In fact, over all three drag races, it takes the win in commanding fashion. The Audi RS6 takes second place twice and third place once.

Roll Race Challenge

Next up, the gents at the wheels go for a pair of half-mile roll races. Once again, the BMW M5 proves that it has the ability to overcome even large initial gaps. Despite a rough start, it manages to not just claw back a win but to do so in commanding high-speed fashion.

Impressive Braking Performance

What’s even more impressive is that the BMW M5 proves to be the best at reeling in its power and speed. All three cars manage to smoke their tires on their way back down to 0 mph. However, the BMW emerges as the winner, with the Audi RS6 taking second place and the AMG E63 S settling for third.

Celebrating Speed and Power

Here’s the thing about races like this – we’re all winners. Having four-door cars that are this fast is something that we can all appreciate. The way these super saloons rocket down the track without much input from the drivers is truly impressive.

In conclusion, the BMW M5 takes the crown in this epic showdown of tuned super saloons. Its power, speed, and ability to overcome initial gaps make it a force to be reckoned with. The Audi RS6 and the Mercedes E63 S AMG put up a good fight, but the BMW ultimately emerges as the victor. These races showcase the incredible performance capabilities of modern-day turbocharged cars and highlight the skill of tuners in extracting more power from them.
