(droning music) - Hi there. (speaking in foreign language) This is the sixth running of the world's greatest drag race. This year, the competition
is tougher than ever, however, I think I'm driving the winner. This is the all new Acura NSX. And in addition to all-wheel
drive, I've got three, count them one, two,
three electric motors. What's good about an electric
motor in a drag race? Instant torque. The second I hit the gas
pedal, I get all that torque at zero RPM. And then the high horsepower
gasoline engine takes over. Plus, I've got a quick shifting
dual clutch transmission. However, there are 11
other cars that think they have a shot at crossing
that finish line first. Let's meet the competition. Wearing a creamsicle inspired paint job, it's the Aston Martin V12
Vantage S with its funny shifter. There's the impressive-handling
Chevy Camaro 1LE. There's an eye-searing
yellow Shelby Mustang GT350R. Oh, the great looking
water-injected BMW M4 GTS. The track day champ, the Dodge Viper ACR. This has to be the best
looking Porsche of all time, a Miami blue Carrera S. Here's the most powerful Jaguar
of all time, the F-Type SVR. The return of the Jewish
racing gold AMG GTS. Godzilla makes another appearance. There's the impressively
powerful and ridiculously light McLaren 570S. And here's the teutonic
stud, the Audi R8 V10 Plus. And none of them stand a chance. (engines revving) This is the world's
greatest drag race six. - What Johnny doesn't know is
that I've gone to the office and stolen his long term
Dodge Charger Hellcat. I'm going to use it in the race. - Sup bro? - Hey, Johnny. What are you driving? - NSX.
- Cool. - Yeah, you? (coughing)
- Hellcat. - What? (coughing)
- Hellcat. - My Hellcat? That's not part of best driver's car. - It has more horsepower and torque than anything here, though. - That's a good point. The only problem is that we
got 12 guys dressed like this and 13 cars. So I suggest we just cut
the slowest one here, that being your Aston Martin. Why are you smiling?
- Okay. - I just put tires on the Hellcat. I'd like two weeks out of them, 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's another car with
almost as much horsepower, the Viper ACR. It has just 650 horsepower, but it weighs 1,151 fewer pounds. With a manual transmission, long gearing, and really sticky tires,
the Viper is a tricky car to launch properly. Get it right and you're in
store for a 3.3 second run to 60 miles an hour. However, at higher speeds, that big wing creates lot of drag,
and that slows it down. The McLaren doesn't
have to deal with that, and thanks to its
computer-controlled launch control, it's a whole lot easier
to get off the line. Unfortunately, it gives
up a hundred horsepower to the Viper. Then again, the 570S is
the lightest car here, and then there's the Audi. The R8 is 500 pounds
heavier than the McLaren, but it has all-wheel drive
to rocket off the line. Plus, it's naturally aspirated
V10 screams to 9000 RPM, and it's dual clutch is one
of the quickest shifting transmissions on the planet. Will that be enough to
edge out the rest of these horsepower-riddled cars? Hang on and find out. (dramatic bass music) (engines revving) Alright, there's nothing
really for me to do. Just sit in my air conditioned
seat, put it in drive, and fight wheel spin the
entire way down the runway, because this is a big stupid
sedan with 707 horsepower. - He stands no chance in that
Hellcat against this, the NSX. And have I mentioned how easy
it is to launch this Acura? Super easy. - Alright, five, four, three, two. (engines revving) (laughing) (engines humming) - I kicked the stuffing out
of Jason in the Hellcat. - 707 horsepower and I finished
in the back of the pack. - Vietnamese coffee, who knew? - [Jason] It's all over pretty quickly when you have cars this fast. The NSX's electric motors
gave it a jump off the line, but the Audi blows right by on its way to a 2.6 second zero to 60. And the Audi stays in
the lead the whole way, crossing the quarter mile
marker after just 10.6 seconds. If we'd kept going, the R8
would get passed by the McLaren, which is less than a car length behind, but traveling almost two
miles an hour quicker. 101 feet and 6/10 behind
the Audi is Godzilla itself, the Nissan GTR, which
crosses the line just 16 feet before Johnny and his NSX. That's right, Johnny, hope
you're enjoying fourth place. Next up, the Mercedes
AMG GTS, followed closely by the Jaguar F-Type SVR. Oh, but if you think the
Viper's up next, you're wrong. It's that insanely
overachieving Porsche 911 pulling an 11.5 at a 120 miles an hour. The Viper is 12 feet behind the Porsche. Then 4/10 of a second later, here I come in a big heavy Hellcat, which didn't win, but it did spin 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 dead last place,
is the Chevy Camaro SS 1LE. That's right, the slowest
car in this group runs a 12.4 at 114.2 miles an hour, or in other words, zero to jail in 10 seconds or less. It's a good thing we're
on a closed course. (engines humming) Can you guys see me? 'Cause it feels like I
have my back to the camera. You okay? - You should have your back
to the camera at first. - Okay.
- Yeah, it's okay. - Okay. - [Johnny] That's Tony's new
technique, back to the camera. - [Camera Man] Back to camera, is it? - Put your back to camera-- - [Johnny] You're doing a lot of stuff with like people's backs
and cameras lately. - I love it.
- Step to your left, Jason. - [Johnny] Really? - We all set guys?
- Ah, this breeze. - [Camera Man] And then
he turns around, right? He's looking away? He's looking away and turns to us? Perfect do it again. - [Jason] That was a little weird. - [Camera Man] Why was that weird? - My laugh was a little weird.
- There was a couple flubs. - [Camera Man] One more time? Not perfect, do it again. - Yep, imperfect.
- Imperfect. - Just pretend it was perfect. - [Camera Man] What do you
want to have your last line be? You say nevermind, love you. - This is the world's
greatest drag race six.
Amazed at the speed of that R8, especially the launch off the line.
"The return of the Jewish racing gold - the AMG GTS"
hahaha, holy shit is that funny
For 'just' a Carrera S, the 911 is stupid fast
We really are in a golden age when a car that runs 12.4 second quarter miles, has heated seats, Bluetooth, and all this other crap, and is considered pedestrian. It's crazy. I love it.
Audi R8 v10 plus: 10.6s 130.3mph

Ford Mustang Shelby GT350R: 12.2s 118.9mph
Chevrolet Camaro SS 1LE: 12.4s 114.2mph
Would it have helped the ACRs time to not have that MASSIVE aero kit increasing drag?
Porsche was the biggest surprise to me, no matter how much horsepower they have less than the others, they're always special
That sexy F-Type is still the one I'd marry and take home to meet my mama. The Hellcat would be the batshit rebound after we divorce.
What a time to be alive.
The Carrera S hit quarter mile in 11.5 sec at 120.5 mph... that's 996 turbo territory? And I bet if it got Cup 2s it will probably come near to the 991.1 GT3's lap times, being turbocharged but still retain the driver's car characteristics, well done porsche. The upcoming 991.2 GT3 really need to up its game, or else not much gap between a GT and Carrera lol
