With full instrumented testing numbers — and our trademark slow-motion replay! = Get a Quote for Hagerty Guaranteed Value Classic-Car Insurance: https://hagerty.com/jason This episode is presented by Valentine One Radar Locator: Find radar before it finds you https://bit.ly/Valentine1_Hagerty = The G99-chassis BMW M5 Touring is finally here, and we race it against the other hot wagon, the C8-chassis Audi RS6 Performance, which gets larger turbos for even more power. The Battle of the Wagons meets the hatchback Porsche Panamera Turbo S E-Hybrid, which shares its chassis and powertrain with the shockingly fast Bentley Continental GT Speed — and the Mercedes S63 AMG E Performance, which pairs an electric motor with a separate 2-speed rear transmission a la C43 AMG, but keeps its twin-turbocharged V-8 up front. In a world where SUVs dominate the market, here's a celebration of things that aren't — longroofs always get bonus points in our book. (Not that these rockets will need help in a speed contest!) And don't forget: at Cammisa's Ultimate Drag Race Replay, we combine weather-corrected, scientific instrumented testing with our entertaining drag race! No human factors here, what you see is a best-case, real-world race between the cars with perfect launches every time. And we even weigh the cars to verify manufacturers' claims! Spoiler Alert!
