In this week’s challenge, Matt Watson lines up a sports coupe drag race. The latest, 992 generation 911 takes on the Audi R8 V10 vs a Nismo edition Nissan GT-R vs a BMW M850i xDrive. Click here to read our recent review of the BMW M850i.
The results are not a foregone conclusion, despite there being a bit of a power discrepancy across all four cars. Apart from a standing start drag race, there is also a rolling run and a brake test – enjoy.
