Four Rivals

The world’s best-sounding drag race features four cars. Three hail from Germany and one is from Japan. There is a reason that these four were chosen, and not any from Italia or the US and it has to do with harmonics.

Inline Turbo Fives

Two of the cars are from Audi. One is the recently released Audi RS3 (read more here). While the other is an older Audi 200. Both are powered by the company’s signature inline turbocharged engine. The RS3 is completely standard, whereas the 200 is far from it.

V10 Powered

Two supercars in attendance are the Lexus LFA and the Porsche Carrera GT. Both cars are powered by naturally aspirated V10 engines, which is double the cylinder count of the two Audis.
