New 840hp AMG GT 63 S v BMW M5 v Panamera Turbo: DRAG RACE

How’s THIS for a three-way German showdown?!

We’ve got Yianni in the all-new Mercedes-AMG GT 63 S e-hybrid and he’s facing off against Mat in a BMW M5 Competition and Daniel in a Porsche Panamera Turbo S e-hybrid. But which is quickest over the quarter mile? Well, let’s take a closer look.

Starting with the all-new AMG, it’s powered by a 4-litre twin-turbo V8 coupled with an electric motor, which combines to produce 843hp and an incredible 1,400Nm of torque! That hybrid system means it’s pretty heavy though, weighing in at 2,305kg! But it’s not just the weight that’s large, so is the price, with it costing around £174,000!

Even though it’s heavy, it’s not the heaviest here - that honour goes to the Porsche, which tips the scales at 2,350kg! In terms of power, it’s also equipped with a 4-litre twin-turbo V8 coupled with an electric motor to deliver 700hp and 870Nm. It’s a fair bit cheaper than the AMG though, costing around £146,000.

Then finally we have the BMW. Packing a 4.4-litre twin-turbo V8 under the bonnet, it’s able to put down 625hp and 750Nm of torque. It’s a whole lot lighter than the other contenders, though, coming in at 1,865kg. It’s also the cheapest here, costing around £110,000.

So the BMW has the least power, but will the weight difference prove decisive? There’s only one way to find out… LET’S RACE!

The rivalry between merc and BMW was so strong in this video. Even Mat and Yanni were giving their all to win the race

[hiitstj]

The reason Yanni lost the first rounds was because he wasn’t yelling “COME ON!”.

[awesomnality]

The editors killed it on this episode. From Yanni’s greek background music to Daniel’s german translation 😁

[gxg]

All three are good choices, buy whatever you like. The difference in performance is honestly very minimal in real life situations. The only people who really argue about these back and forth are the ones who can’t afford any of them😂

[DeutschDirekt]

Daniel saying 'Mein start war eigentlich ganz gut' being translated to 'Oh my god! Mat is an amazing driver!' Is hilarious 😂😂😂 What he really says is: 'My start was actually quite good...' 👍

[charlesadjei]

Really love how they’ve kept the original starter girls countdown all these years. Bless her soul

[calumtait]

I love Yianni's smug smile every time he says Mercedes in Greek lmfao

[moadd]

The Mat and Yian combo will forever be unmatched….

[HeisenbergFam]

3:18 Matt's "you are bloody English" has such strong British accent it turned my coffee into tea

[vinnie]

Love how they translate daniel’s sentence into “Oh my god Mat is a very good driver”

[Pogostck]

Yianni and mat's enthousiasm was unprecedented in this one. Fun to listen to when you can't look at the screen all the time 😂

[johnsmith-ymkx]

I swear these episodes keep getting better and better!!! I'm a car guy but I don't even care what cars you guys drive!!! The entertainment that this show has is Gold!!!

[sheldzeeking]

I love when Daniel's speaking German and they add those ridiculous subtitles 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣

[florianj]

The entertainment of the three was extremely enjoyable! D
aniel, Yani and Matt are the absolute dream trio when it comes to drag races! If possible, please always use these two additional drivers. German, "Greek" and British is simply the perfect mix for this endeavor! I love it!!

The stark fact: When BMW wins, everyone praises BMW. However, as Mercedes wins, everyone starts making excuses about BMW losing.

[zak__]

You've got to love Yanni's reactions when he's winning after losing or when he is winning in a really tight race. He leans forward, screams, and celebrates . It's so hilarious.
The way he's passionate about winning, you'd think there is a prize for coming first 😅

[Cars_with_max]

That M5 is so impressive. Imagine the M5cs

[IanG]

Glad to see Yanni back regularly in the videos

[timoromeijn]

Hey i love carwow, watching everything. But one thing i miss in the dragraces is the full mile rolling race to see how fast these cars really go❤

[mattfrost]

This might be my favourite Mat vs Yanni (and Daniel) video. The competition and passion was so intense. I was in stitches watching this! Especially when Mat jumped on the last race!
