You Have To Watch These 10 Amazing Drag Races

A supercar showdown and a race against a drone are just two of the 10 awesome races.

Following our previous drag race compilation, we have ten more awesome races to shared for your viewing pleasure. As always, watching these races is more exciting if you try to guess the winner. See how many correct predictions you can make and leave your score in the comments. With more than a few neck-and-neck finishes, these races are not always easy to predict.

Ferrari 812 Superfast Vs. McLaren 720S

Very few cars can match the fury of the McLaren 720S with its 4.0-liter, 710 horsepower V8. Perhaps the Ferrari 812 Superfast may be one of the,. With a 6.5-liter V12 producing 789 hp, can the front-engined Ferrari top the mid-engined McLaren?

Mercedes C63 AMG Vs. Alfa Romeo Giulia QV

In the compact sports sedan segment, the Mercedes C63 AMG and Alfa Romeo Giulia Quadrifoglio sit at the top in terms of power. Each produces over 500 hp from their twin-turbo engines, though the AMG does have two extra cylinders (a V8 vs a V6). Which one will win in a series of races, with and without launch control?

Audi RS3 Vs. Ford Focus RS

The Ford Focus RS is one of the best hot hatchbacks on the market, but can it stand up to the mighty Audi RS3? Both cars have all-wheel-drive grip, but the Audi has an extra cylinder (five) and 50 extra hp (400). With a quick shifting dual-clutch transmission, the Audi also holds the advantage with shift times. Will this race be a foregone conclusion?

Ultimate Supercar Drag Race

Most drag races involve two cars, competing to see which is best. Here, we get to see two Porsche 911s (a GT3 RS and a GT2 RS), a Lamborghini Huracan Performante Coupe and Spyder, a Ferrari 488 GTB, and a McLaren 675 LT. This is a very diverse lineup of supercars, but which one do you think will win as the cars face off against each other?

Nissan GT-R Nismo Vs. Porsche 911 GT3 RS

After a massive hiatus, Fifth Gear is finally back on television. The series's 27 season features a drag race between the Nissan GT-R Nismo and the Porsche 911 GT3 RS. Even though the GT-R is typically seen as the better car for drag races, the track-focused 911 may be within a shot of winning this straight line race.

Dodge Challenger Vs. Dodge Viper

In a sibling rivalry, this drag race pits a Dodge Challenger Scat Pack against a fourth generation Dodge Viper. The Challenger seems like it will be at a disadvantage in this race, even with a 485-hp 6.4-liter V8. The Viper has a more powerful 600-hp 8.4-liter V10, but the driver does have to execute the perfect manual shift while the Challenger owner can just let the automatic take care of it.

Bugatti Chiron Vs. McLaren 720S

The McLaren 720S is borderline unbeatable in a drag race. However, even the 720S may have to admit defeat when it's up against a Bugatti Chiron. The Chiron's W16 engine produces 1,500 hp, making it twice as powerful as the mighty 720S. You can probably guess the winner here.

Audi S8 Plus Vs. Porsche 911 Turbo

If someone who didn't know anything about cars looked at this drag race, they'd assume the sexy sports car would beat the boring sedan. Stands to reason. However, that "boring" sedan is an Audi S8 Plus, which is powered by a 605-hp twin-turbo V8. The Porsche 911 Turbo makes do with just 520 hp, though it is much lighter. Can the sleeper sedan keep up with the purpose-built sports car?

AMG GT Roadster Vs. Drone

Seeing cars race other cars is fun, but seeing a car race a drone is pretty cool too. The Mercedes AMG GT Roadster produces 467 hp from a twin-turbo V8, while the drone doesn't have nearly as much power. Still, the drone is able to hit 60 mph in just one second. Yeah, you heard that correctly. This race was over before it started.

GMC Sierra Vs. Nissan Titan Vs. Ram 1500

We highly doubt that truck owners base their purchase decision on straight line speed, but this didn't stop The Fast Lane Truck from lining up three trucks for a drag race. The GMC Sierra is the most powerful with a 6.2-liter 420-hp V8. The Titan's 5.7-liter V8 produces 390 hp while the Ram's 5.7-liter is good for 395 hp. As it turns out, the transmissions have more to do with the outcome of the race than the engines. So, which do you think has the best transmission for a drag race?

Amazing Collection Of Porsche Cars Heads To Auction

Here's a chance to buy some of the best Porsche cars all at once.

Car auction prices have been through the roof recently, and collectors are taking the opportunity to make a small fortune all in one go. Instead of just selling off one car, or even a few in one auction, collectors have started to sell their cars as a set. We recently saw a $1 million collection of Mercedes Black Series cars and a legendary collection of Fords. Jerry Seinfeld made headlines by selling his $10 million worth of classic Porsche cars at auction, but Gooding & Company may have an even better collection coming up for Porsche enthusiasts.

This 12-car set is part of the James G. Hascall Collection. The collection is referred to as "50 Years of Porsche Excellence" because it includes amazing Porsche models than span more 50 years in age from 1960 to 2016. All of the cars will be sold without reserve at the Amelia Island Auction held on March 9, 2018. Mr. Hascall started collecting back in the 1980s with his wife, and the two of them took several of these cars on road rallies. Hascall, the former head of a military-industrial defense contractor, passed away in 2016, but his incredible collection will live on. The most valuable car in the collection is the 1987 959 Komfort, which is estimated to sell between $900,000 and $1,200,000.

The second most valuable car is the 2005 Carrera GT, which is estimated to sell for around $800,000 to $1,000,000. The other cars in the collection include a 1960 356 B Cabriolet ($150,000-$200,000), 1965 356 C Cabriolet ($170,000-$200,000), 1969 911 2.0 S ($160,000-$180,000), 1972 911 2.4 S ($200,000-$250,000), 1989 911 Carrera Speedster ($250,000-$325,000), 1993 964 Carrera 4 Targa ($75,000-$100,000),1994 964 Turbo 3.6 ($225,000-$275,000), 1996 993 Turbo ($150,000-$180,000), 1997 993 Turbo S ($325,000-$375,000), and 2016 991 GT3 RS $175,000-$250,000). This is one heck of a collection that and we'd love to take home a piece of it.

Amazing Track Cars Transformed From The Street

These are ten of the best street-turned-track cars on the market.

There’s something about track-ready versions of road-going cars that makes us tingle with excitement; the notion that when you see one destroying lap records anywhere in the world, there’s the potential for you to drive a piece of that DNA at a discount price. Not to mention the fact that track-specials are where engineers let their hair down a little and show us what a car is really capable of, without the shackles of the financial department telling them to cut costs. It would’ve been all too easy to go and find race cars that utilize road-going cars as their base from which to start, but we wanted to keep this list to those cars which can be bought track ready by the public.

McLaren P1 GTR

As one-third of the hypercar holy trinity, the McLaren P1 needs no introduction. The P1 GTR is what happens when McLaren’s mad scientists are unshackled, and the result is a track only McLaren P1 with power upped from 903 horsepower to 986 hp. In addition to more power, the P1 GTR gets slick tires, fixed ride height race suspension, a new exhaust, and of course a massive fixed rear wing capable of using F1-inspired DRS. The P1 GTR isn’t even road-legal, though if you’re fortunate enough to own one, Lanzante – the same Lanzante involved in the McLaren F1’s Le Mans win – will convert it and register it as a road-legal vehicle for you, for a price.

Ferrari FXX-K Evo

Much like the McLaren P1 GTR, the Ferrari FXX-K is the track-only version of Ferrari’s range-topping LaFerrari hypercar. The latest in a line of FXX track-only derivatives, you have to be invited to purchase one, and when you wish to use it on track, a team of Ferrari engineers is available to come and tailor the setup of the FXX-K for whichever track you’re at. The FXX-K produces 1036 hp from its V12 engine and electric motor combination, up from 950 hp in standard road-going trim. But the FXX-K Evo is the most hardcore of all – offering an even more aerodynamic body kit allowing 23% more downforce than the standard FXX-K, and an astonishing 75% more than the road-going LaFerrari, along with a 198-lb reduction in weight.

BMW M4 GTS

Roll-cage, check. Massive spoiler, check. Carbon fiber front splitter, check. Who doesn’t love a road-going car that looks straight out of DTM? Well, that’s pretty much what the BMW M4 GTS is, designed to be the most potent BMW M4 for track use, that’s also legal on the road. In addition to the over-the-top bodywork, the interior has been stripped out, and the roll-cage has been added as standard. Revised suspension and upgraded brakes are standard too, but what’s really special about the M4 GTS is the tweak to the engine. To get the twin-turbo inline-six from 425 hp to 493 hp, the M4 GTS boasts water injection that cools down the combustion chamber, prevents knock, and enables a cleaner burn of fuel for more power. The M4 GTS has Nurburgring credo too, lapping the Nordschleife in 7 minutes 28 seconds.

Porsche 911 GT2 RS

We could’ve opted to stick the 500-hp 911 GT3 RS on here, conqueror of hearts and racetracks alike as the purists 911. Instead, we’ve chosen the 911 GT2 RS, not just because it packs a walloping 690 hp from its twin-turbo flat-six, but because the GT2 RS actually has more heritage as far as Porsche goes. The GT3 nameplate first surfaced in 1999, but the GT2 badge was first seen back in 1993 when it adorned the 993-generation 911 and developed 444 hp. But in its latest incarnation, 690 hp and rear-wheel drive are what it gets, along with a magnesium roof, and extensive use of carbon fiber to reduce weight, making it the most insane Porsche this side of the 919 Evo. The fact that until recently it was king of the Nurburgring just adds further weight behind its inclusion here.

Bentley Continental GT3-R

Though Bentleys may ooze class, they’ve done their stint in motorsport throughout the years. So while it may have seemed out of place for the brand’s market placement, the Continental GT3-R released in 2014 has some roots within the Bentley brand. The big luxury GT car was given a big upgrade to make it a proper performance machine. Starting from a base of a V8 S Coupe, engineers stripped 220 pounds of weight, including the rear seats, increased engine outputs to 572 hp, added torque vectoring to the rear wheels, shorter gearing, upgraded brakes and suspension, a new exhaust, and recalibrated programming on all the ESP systems. It also got sports seats, carbon fiber door casings, and a host of exterior upgrades to make the gentleman’s cruiser look a little more boy-racer.

Shelby Mustang GT350R

The Shelby Mustang GT350R doesn’t need much of an introduction, does it? It’s the most hardcore Mustang you can buy, packing a 5.2-liter flat-plane crank V8 engine outputting an unchanged 526 hp from the standard GT350. But items like air conditioning, stereo, the trunk floorboard, rear seats, carpeting, and the reverse camera have all been removed, and a large splitter and rear wing improve downforce. The GT350R sheds 130 pounds, partially due to carbon fiber wheels, and handling has further been improved over the already impressive GT350 by the addition of a Torsen limited-slip differential with a 3:73 axle ratio. Until such time as they GT500 arrives, the GT350R is the most hardcore track Stang you can get.

Mercedes-AMG GT-R

Who would’ve though Mercedes-AMG would try and build a 911 rival… and succeed? Though the Mercedes-AMG GT is a little more hammer than a scalpel in the way it does things, it’s an exceptional sports car. But at the top of the AMG GT ladder – for now at least – the AMG GT R is for Mercedes what the 911 GT3 is for Porsche; the enthusiasts track-car. Nicknamed ‘The Beast of the Green Hell’, it makes use of the same ‘hot-vee’ twin-turbo 4-liter V8 but turns the power up to 577 hp. In addition, the GT R features rear-wheel steering, upgraded aerodynamics, vastly overhauled suspension, a fixed rear wing, less weight, and a 9-mode AMG traction control system.

Dodge Viper ACR

Those fancy European carmakers can try all the tricks they want, but when it comes to smashing lap records just about anywhere, the Dodge Viper ACR is the car you want to be driving. From its 8.4-liter V10, it generates 645 horsepower, though the ACR is more than just brute force. With an addendum of race-inspired extras, such as the ginormous fixed rear wing and huge front splitter, handling is the focus here. The Viper ACR set the record as the fastest ever road car around Laguna Seca with a lap time of 1:28.65, more than a second quicker than the Porsche 918 Spyder – if that’s not impressive, we don’t know what is.

Chevrolet Corvette ZR1

Based on the Corvette Z06, the ZR1 takes the track day fun and turns the dial up to where numbers are no longer written. The C7 ZR1 features an all-new 6.2-liter pushrod LT5 V8 engine equipped with a 2.6-liter Eaton supercharger that develops 755 hp. Of course, that much power generates a lot of heat, so enhanced cooling is a must, and the ZR1 has an extra four radiators, bringing the total number to 13 to keep things cool. But more than just power, the ZR1 has been developed alongside Pratt & Miller’s Corvette racing team, with the aerodynamic package taking heavy influence from motorsports to achieve maximum performance. The giant fixed rear wing is most noticeable, but it can be made even bigger with an optional ZTK Performance Package that generates an additional 60% more downforce over a regular Z06 with the Z07 package. Larger tires, carbon ceramic brakes, double-wishbone suspension, and magnetic ride control are all standard to help make the ZR1 the most lethal track weapon around.

Ferrari 488 Pista

What’s a mid-engined Ferrari without a super track version to see out the end of production? Think of the 488 Pista as the turbocharged equivalent of royalty such as the F430 Scuderia and 458 Speciale. Based on the 488 GTB, Ferrari engineers worked closely with the GTE race engineers to improve things. Borrowing the camshaft, intercooler, strengthened pistons, titanium con-rods, and Inconel exhaust manifolds from the 488 Challenge racecar, Ferrari was able to increase power from the 3.9-liter twin-turob V8 from 661 hp to 710 hp. The dual-clutch gearbox also shifts quicker, and the body has been heavily revised for increased downforce without the use of messy large spoilers. It generates 20% more downforce than the 488 GTB upon which it’s based, and is 200 lbs lighter. Signing off on its track credentials, ‘Pista’ is Italian for 'track', and is a nod to the Pista di Fiorano where all Ferraris are developed.

5 Amazing Supercars That Took 2017 By Storm

When we look back on 2017, these are the cars that everyone will remember.

Earlier this month, we put together our list of the best performance cars of 2017. The list was made up of the cars that we thought had the biggest impact on the industry and were the best to drive. Now it's time to focus on the supercars that 2017 will be remembered for. We only focused on cars that have already been fully revealed and have made an impact on 2017. So cars that haven't really been built yet, like the Tesla Roadster and McLaren Senna, have been excluded.

The first car barely made our list because it hasn't made it into the hands of many real owners. Luckily, Porsche put the new 911 GT2 RS on full display by capturing the Nurburgring production car record. With nearly 700 hp on tap, the GT2 RS pushes the 911 up from a sports car to a full-on supercar. It may not take long before some other car comes along and recaptures the Nurburgring record in 2018, but the GT2 RS was certainly the track king of 2017.

Even though the GT2 RS defeated this car's earlier Nurburgring record, we still believe that the Lamborghini Huracan Peformante is one of the most important supercars of 2017. The Huracan Performante is the first Lamborghini in a long time that we have found ourselves smitten with. This was a track-focused car that lapped the Green Hell faster than a Porsche 918 Spyder. It may not be "the" fastest supercar of 2017, but it is certainly top five.

McLaren has been building some of the most impressive supercars in the world for a while now, but to be honest, they were all starting to feel a bit stale. Everything from the 12C to the 675 LT was powered by the same 3.8-liter twin-turbo V8, and it was time for McLaren to come up with something different. The new 720S took us by surprise by beating pretty much everything in its path. We know that the Senna will be the more track-focused McLaren, but we wouldn't be surprised if the 720S was actually the fastest supercar of 2017.

The Ford GT came as a surprise reveal right at the end of 2016. After a rather strange buying process that involved actually applying to Ford for the privilege of owning one, deliveries really got going in 2017. The Ford GT isn't really everyone's cup of tea, but it is certainly a cool car. Ford ditched the idea of trying to be retro like the previous GT. Instead, it basically built a race car for the road. Every company likes to claim that their car is really a track for for the street, but the Ford GT is the real deal.

Like the Ford GT, the Bugatti Chiron was actually revealed back in 2016. However, 2017 is the year was the first examples have actually been delivered to owners. Even though the Koenigsegg Agera RS set a production car top speed record this year and beat the Chrion, we have yet to see the Chiron hit its true top speed. Bugatti claims that the Chiron may be able to top 300 mph, but the current tire technology limits the top speed. The Chiron is still an incredible car, and we believe that the best is yet to come with this amazing machine.

Top Marques Turns 15 With Amazing Lineup Of Supercars In Monaco

Monaco was built to host a supercar show, and it didn't dissapoint.

Monaco has always been synonymous with luxury, extravagance and all that is exotic. Being home to the world’s most expensive cars, yachts and jewelry, it’s only natural for it to host an annual supercar show. And that’s something the principality has been doing for quite a few years now. Taking place in mid-April every year, Top Marques Monaco presents only the best of what a local Monegasque would be looking to buy: From gold-enriched alcoholic beverages and carbon fiber bodied yachts, to the main attraction: supercars.

With everything presented in one venue, accompanied by typically perfect South of France weather, CarBuzz couldn’t resist the kind invitation to attend this year’s exotic car extravaganza. While cars are on static display like any other show, in Monaco certain exhibitors give passenger rides around town, to show them what their expensive new toy can do. But it’s not any old route. The test course follows the famous Grand Prix circuit around Monaco, making the passenger (who the carmaker will be hoping is a prospective buyer) feel that much more special.

To mark the 15th edition of the Top Marques Monaco show the organizers went all out to attract more cars, more exhibitors, and to give attendees more things to see and experience. Here’s a selection of some our favorite cars at the show. We’ll start with Apollo, who displayed the new Intensa Emozione at Monaco’s main attraction point, Casino Square. The hypercar sports a naturally-aspirated 6.3-liter V12 and full carbon fiber chassis and sub-frames. Throughout the show, the car went on a few drives around town. Alas, as it’s still under development, no passenger rides were granted. But we still got to see its beautiful design features, inside and out.

Introduced at Geneva earlier this year, the Corbellati Missile, with its 1,800-hp, 9.0-liter twin-turbo V8, theoretically taking it to 310 mph (500 km/h), was another star attraction. As it’s not yet a functional model, the Missile remained rooted to the supercar show floor. But we’ll be waiting to hear from Corbellati about future developments in the coming months. Among the small number of supercar manufacturers displaying their wares at the show were Zenvo, with its TS-1 and more hardcore TSR-S, and Eadon Green, whose Corvette-based Zelcat, was objectively a looker.

Tushek also came to Monaco to launch its new TS900 H, a hybrid hypercar weighing in at just 1,400 kg. Combined with a total output figure of 1340 hp, it promises to deliver a Koenigsegg-rivaling experience. Other manufacturers of note included Arash, who presented its AF10; and Radical, who had a RXC for test drives. As always, Top Marques attracted a bunch of aftermarket companies too. Renntech took us for a ride in an insane 740-hp Mercedes-AMG C63 that we’re sure some well-heeled admirer ended up driving home at the end of the show. TopCar Design presented a pair of Porsche 911 Turbos and a Mercedes GLE, the Russian outfit showcasing its breadth of customizing capabilities with an unusual attention to detail.

Pogea Racing displayed two of its most amazing creations. It’s beautiful interpretation of a Ferrari 488, with Pista-rivaling 820 hp called the FPlus Corsa, was one of the stars of the show. While the Nemesis, a bonkers Alfa Romeo 4C we called the Quadrifoglio that Alfa should have made, featured a major weight-saving carbon-fiber redesign and a serious engine upgrade, doubling its original output to 477 hp. While Geneva is known as the supercar show, Top Marques Monaco gives the newest players in this notoriously challenging niche the chance to shine. And being set in Monaco, when the show ends, a whole new performance begins when the locals go out for a spin.

7 Amazing Used SUVs Cheaper Than A New Nissan Kicks

Why settle for 125 horsepower when you could have twice as much?

We recently had the opportunity to drive the new 2018 Nissan Kicks, a CUV that is aimed square at young millennial buyers. With loads of safety technology, and a base price of under $19,000, the Kicks will likely appeal for first time car buyers who want something cheap, economical, and safe. But what about people who want something fast, cool, and comfortable? The Kicks packs a 1.6-liter four-cylinder good for a measly 125 horsepower. We have found seven used SUVs for less than the price of a new Kicks, all with more than twice the power.

Cadillac Escalade

The Nissan Kicks has reasonable space inside for all occupants, as well as a nicely sized trunk. However, it wouldn't cut it for larger families who need more seats and more storage. For less than $19,000, you can easily go out and buy a used Cadillac Escalade with around 50,000 to 80,000 miles on the odometer. Most examples in this price range are around 10-years old and come with a 6.2-liter V8 producing 403 hp. Why settle for a Kicks, when you could have an Escalade for the same money?

Infiniti FX50

Most of the people who buy a Kicks will do so because of its stylish looks, and the promise of a sporty driving experience. The Kicks delivers on looks, but falls short on being sporty. If what you want is an interesting looking crossover, why not buy an Infiniti FX50? The Infiniti FX was a fantastic looking crossover that was built on the RWD platform of the G37. It is also the only Nissan/Infiniti product to offer a unique 5.0-liter V8 producing 390 hp. The engine was derived from LMP3 racing, and is bespoke to the FX50.

BMW X1

We typically prefer wagons and hatchbacks to their SUV counterparts, but we do enjoy a small SUV that feels like a car. The first generation BMW X1, known internally as the E84, was sold from 2009 to 2015 before being replaced with a new FWD-based model. The old E84 was RWD-based, and could be ordered in xDrive35i trim with a 3.0-liter turbocharged inline-six producing 300 hp. This quick little CUV could hit 60 in just 5.2 seconds (around twice as fast as the Kicks).

Jeep Grand Cherokee SRT-8

Back in 2006, Jeep shocked the world by attaching an SRT badge to the popular Grand Cherokee. By today's standards, the 6.1-liter 420 hp V8 in the original Grand Cherokee SRT-8 doesn't seem insane, but it can still rocket the 4,700 pound SUV up to 60 mph in just 4.8 seconds. The interior of may looks a bit cheap compared to other cars on this list, but it's worth it to enjoy all of the lovely V8 power.

Chevrolet Trailblazer SS

Back in the early 2000's, Chevrolet went crazy putting an SS badge on almost every model. Even the Trailblazer received an SS variant, which was powered by a 6.0-liter LS2 engine from a C6 Corvette. The V8 produced 390 hp, and the SS had a number of handling upgrades including a self-leveling air suspension.

Porsche Cayenne Turbo S

If you don't care about maintenance costs, there are some insane values on the used market. Case in point, you can now buy a first generation Porsche Cayenne Turbo S for less than the price of a new Nissan Kicks. While the Kicks makes due with 125 hp, the Cayenne Turbo S produces 520 hp from a twin-turbo V8. Sure it will cost a small fortune to maintain, but isn't happiness worth it?

Volkswagen Touareg

If you are willing to pay to be unique, why not opt for one of the most unique SUVs ever sold in the United States: the Volkswagen Touareg. Specifically, we found used Touareg models with the 5.0-liter twin-turbo V10 diesel engine. This massive powerplant produces 310 hp and 553 lb-ft of torque with enough pulling power to tow almost 8,000 pounds.
