In a thrilling showdown, Carwow's Matt Watson pits the Audi S5, Mercedes AMG C43, and BMW M340i against each other in a high-octane drag race. The Audi S5, armed with a potent 3L turbocharged V6, faces off against the BMW M340i's 3L turbocharged straight 6 and the Mercedes AMG C43's 2L turbocharged 4-cylinder engine. The BMW emerges victorious in the quarter-mile race, showcasing its speed by completing the sprint in just 12.5 seconds, leaving the Audi and Mercedes trailing behind at 12.8 and 12.9 seconds, respectively.
As the competition heats up, a rolling race over a half-mile track unfolds, revealing the BMW's dominance once again. While the Audi gains an early lead, the BMW's power propels it past the competition, solidifying its position as the frontrunner. In a manual mode race, the Mercedes surprises with its impressive acceleration once the gearbox limitations are removed, showcasing its potential on the track. However, the BMW's performance remains unmatched, highlighting its prowess in speed and agility.
During a brake test from 100 mph, the BMW shines yet again, stopping in the shortest distance and demonstrating superior control. Meanwhile, the Mercedes experiences a challenging moment of oversteer due to its weight, showcasing the importance of balance and handling in high-speed scenarios. Despite the intense competition, Matt expresses a personal affinity for the Mercedes' striking aesthetics, adding a touch of subjective flair to the objective race results. For enthusiasts eager to explore more drag race outcomes, Carwow's drag race leaderboard offers a comprehensive overview of thrilling automotive showdowns.
