Audi R8 V10 Spyder vs Mercedes GTS vs Corvette ZR1 vs Mercedes C AMG Dragraces
In this video you will watch an awesome R8 V10 Spyder dragracing a Mercedes Benz GTS, a Corvette ZR1, and a Mercedes Benz C AMG.
This event is organized at the 2017 Spring Event in Weeze (Germany) and the video is uploaded on ‘Youtube’ by ‘ExoticCarspotters’.
Below you can find some information about the car’s participating in this dragrace
Audi R8 V10 Spyder
Audi’s racy R8 seems like a fixture among supercars, but it’s easy to forget that the R8 is a relative newcomer. Indeed, the second-generation car only recently launched in coupe form, and the initial coupe version is now joined by a Spyder convertible. As with the fixed-roof model, the Spyder is closely related to the Lamborghini Huracán, but the Audi has its own appeal that is only enhanced by the disappearing top.
The new Spyder again uses a fabric roof, which can be opened and closed in 20 seconds at up to 31 mph. It stows beneath the carbon-fiber engine cover, just ahead of a 5.2-liter V-10. It’s rated at a healthy 540 horsepower delivered at 7800 rpm
Mercedes Benz GTS
Gullwings are no longer part of the design, but the GT is still set to swoop in and snag buyers away from its archnemesis, the Porsche 911. Its three variants all have a 4.0-liter twin-turbo V-8. In the base model—if anything at this level can be called base—the engine makes 456 hp.
AMG is a longtime purveyor of excess horsepower, but its greatest strength still lies in its engines, however, here taking the form of a twin-turbocharged 4.0-liter V-8. At 577 horsepower and 516 lb-ft of torque, the GT R’s dry-sump powerplant produces 74 horsepower and 37 lb-ft of torque more than the GT S model. Boost, which increases from 17.4 to 19.6 psi, is a big part of that equation. A drop in compression from 10.5:1 to 9.5:1 helps accommodate the boost increase. The two BorgWarner turbos housed in the engine’s valley get bigger compressor wheels, and the cylinder heads’ exhaust ports are milled to improve flow. But the engine changes are just the beginning.
Corvette ZR1
At the top of the Corvette hierarchy is the 638-hp ZR1. This supercar can hang with the best the world has to offer. It’s a thrill to drive and offers the performance of far more expensive cars. Last year brought new seats that right some of the wrongs of the previously extra-flimsy offerings.
Mercedes Benz C AMG
Big things, meet small package: The C43 and C63 cram a whole lot of horsepower under the compact C-class hood. The 3.0-liter twin-turbo V-6 in the C43 makes 362 hp and drives all four wheels through a nine-speed automatic transmission. Step up to the racier, rear-wheel-drive C63 and revel in 469 hp from its 4.0-liter twin-turbo V-8; a seven-speed automatic is standard. Both models are available in sedan, coupe, or cabriolet form. Craving more? Try the C63 S—it gets a bump to 503 hp.
