New BMW M5 vs Mercedes-AMG E63 S - DRAG RACE, ROLLING RACE & BRAKE TEST

This is the ultimate BMW vs Mercedes showdown. We wanted to find out which is quickest - the new 2018 F90 BMW M5, with its 600hp 4.4-litre twin turbo V8, or the Mercedes-AMG E63 S and its 612hp 4.0-litre twin turbo V8. Both have loads of space, both are super luxurious, both cost almost £90,000 and both have clever all-wheel-drive systems which can be switched into rear-wheel-drive only mode. But we didn't use that for this carwow challenge. This video is all about acceleration and stopping performance. Mat Watson will be driving the new BMW M5 - and he likes to win at these things. So which will take the glory - the BMW M5 or the the Mercedes E63 S? Watch the drag race to find out.

[abdullahmohammed]

The Merc any day...and with that interior it's just on another level.

[TheShotokan]

At the end of the day, I don't care which is faster. These 2 manufacturers are the source of so much automobile engineering progress. Hats off to both!

[JunkyDIYguy]

So the conclusion is, It doesn't matter what car you drive, It all depends on what shoes you wearing on. At least that what Jeremy said.

Dude u can't race e63s with an m5.... Race e63s with m5 comp

[Antonio-yquo]

That is AMG. One of the best performance engines in the world. No wonder why

[fancytweaks]

The m5 is powerful but e63s is monster that can defeat 95% of cars

[mkkravist]

0-60 in sub 3.5 seconds! Absolutely phenomenal for 1.9 tons. Bravo to both.

[ashwinmanur]

i just love how the e63 squats throughout the race

[sammo]

Who else is team Mercedes? There so nice to drive!

[dmitriyn]

The interiors of Mercedes alone is worth a win. Its just so nice...

[shoshKid]

Yo! Matt! I think we need a rematch here, please. You’ve been making good drag races lately, and this one deserve another run.

[pugtato]

From the video it looks like e63 got a late start and still won the drag race

[bratedzoni]

In my Land they say :"You can buy normal car or Mercedes!"

[riteshnayak]

E63s amg is a ROCKET SHIP if you have it drag radials.

[thewoytek]

These fanboys in the comments jesus... You shouldnt call yourself a car person if you dont think that BOTH of these cars are great.

[aidan]

M5 had a better start yet the Mercedes still won

[VW_EOS_K]
