World's Greatest Drag Race 6!

(monotone music) - Hello. (speaks in foreign language) This is the sixth edition of the

world

's largest endurance

race

. This year, the competition is tougher than ever, however, I believe I lead the winner. This is the new Acura NSX. And in addition to all-wheel drive, I have three, count 'em one, two, three electric motors. What's so good about an electric motor in an endurance

race

? Instant torque. The moment I step on the accelerator, I get all that torque at zero RPM. And then the high-power gasoline engine takes over. Plus, I have a quick-shifting dual-clutch transmission. However, there are 11 other cars who believe they have a chance of crossing the finish line first.

Let's get to know the competition. With a cream-inspired paint job, it's the Aston Martin V12 Vantage S with its fun gearshift. There's the impressive-handling Chevy Camaro 1LE. There's a stunning yellow Shelby Mustang GT350R. Oh, the fantastic water-injected BMW M4 GTS. The champion of the day at the track, the Dodge Viper ACR. This has to be the most attractive Porsche ever, a Miami blue Carrera S. Here is the most powerful Jaguar of all time, the F-Type SVR. The return of the golden Jewish racing AMG GTS. Godzilla makes another appearance. There's the McLaren 570S, impressively powerful and ridiculously light.

And here is the Teutonic stallion, the Audi R8 V10 Plus. And none of them stand a chance. (engines revving) This is the largest six

drag

race in the

world

. - What Johnny doesn't know is that I went to the office and stole his long-standing Dodge Charger Hellcat. I'm going to use it in the race. - What's up brother? - Hello, Johnny. What do you drive? -NSX. - Cool. - If you? (coughing) - Hellcat. - That? (coughing) - Hellcat. - My Hellcat? That's not part of the best driver's car. - However, it has more horsepower and torque than anything else here. - That's a good point.

The only problem is that we have 12 guys dressed like that and 13 cars. So I suggest we eliminate the slowest one here, which is your Aston Martin. Why do you smile? - Well. - I just put tires on the Hellcat. I'd like to buy you two weeks, okay? - Two minutes, maybe. (engine revving) Okay, so the 707-horsepower Hellcat might have the most power here, but it's a big, heavy sedan. There is another car with almost the same power, the Viper ACR. It has only 650 horsepower, but weighs 1,151 pounds less. With a manual transmission, high gears, and very sticky tires, the Viper is a difficult car to start properly.

Get it right and you'll be set for a 3.3-second run to 60 miles per hour. However, at higher speeds, that large wing creates a lot of

drag

and that slows you down. The McLaren doesn't have to deal with that and thanks to its computer-controlled launch control, it's much easier to get off the line. Unfortunately, it gives up a hundred horsepower to the Viper. On the other hand, the 570S is the lightest car here, and then there's the Audi. The R8 weighs 500 pounds more than the McLaren, but has all-wheel drive to rocket off the line. Additionally, its naturally aspirated V10 reaches 9000 RPM and its dual clutch is one of the fastest shifting transmissions on the planet.

Will that be enough to surpass the rest of these horsepower-laden cars? Wait and find out. (dramatic bass) (engines revving) Alright, I really have nothing to do. Just sit in my air-conditioned seat, crank it up, and fight the wheelspin all the way down the track, because this is a big, stupid sedan with 707 horsepower. - You don't stand a chance in that Hellcat against this one, the NSX. And did I mention how easy it is to start this Acura? Very easy. - Very good, five, four, three, two. (engines revving) (laughter) (engines whirring) - I kicked Jason in the Hellcat. - 707 horsepower and I finished at the back of the group. - Vietnamese coffee, who knew? - Everything ends pretty quickly when you have such fast cars.

The NSX's electric motors gave it a jump off the line, but the Audi quickly passed it on its way to 0-60 in 2.6 seconds. And the Audi stays ahead the entire way, crossing the quarter-mile marker after just 10.6 seconds. If we had continued ahead, the R8 would have been passed by the McLaren, which is less than a car length behind, but travels almost two miles per hour faster. At 101 and 6/10 feet behind the Audi is Godzilla himself, the Nissan GTR, which crosses the line just 16 feet before Johnny and his NSX. That's right, Johnny, I hope you're enjoying fourth place.

Next up is the Mercedes AMG GTS, closely followed by the Jaguar F-Type SVR. Ah, but if you think the Viper is next, you're wrong. It's that incredibly powerful Porsche 911 that pulls from 11.5 to 120 miles per hour. The Viper is 12 feet behind the Porsche. Then, 4/10s of a second later, here I come with a big, heavy Hellcat, which didn't win, but spun its tires long enough to beat the M4 GTS by two car lengths. The Mustang Shelby GT350R was right behind the Bimmer, and then in last place is the Chevy Camaro SS 1LE. That's right, the slowest car in this group runs 12.4 to 114.2 miles per hour, or in other words, from zero to prison in 10 seconds or less.

It's good that we are in a closed field. (engines whirring) Can you see me? Because I feel like my back is to the camera. Are you OK? - At first you must have your back to the camera. - Well. - Yes that's fine. - Well. - That's Tony's new technique, back to the camera. - Back to the camera, right? - Stand with your back to the camera... - Lately you're doing a lot of things with people's backs and cameras. - I love it. - Take a step to your left, Jason. - Actually? - Shall we all prepare guys? - Ah, this breeze. - And then he turns around, right?

Are you looking away? Is he looking away and turning towards us? Perfect do it again. - That was a little weird. - Why was that strange? - My laugh was a little strange. - There were a couple of mistakes. - One more time? It's not perfect, do it again. - Yes, imperfect. - Imperfect. - Just pretend it was perfect. - What do you want your last line to be? You say it doesn't matter, I love you. - This is the sixth largest endurance race in the world.
