In this thrilling episode of carwow, the team sets out to answer the burning question: which luxury plug-in hybrid sedan will reign supreme in a drag race? The contenders are the BMW 7 Series, the Audi A8, and the Mercedes S-Class. These are not your ordinary sedans, my friends. These are the top-of-the-line models, with power and performance that will leave you breathless.
First up is the BMW 7 Series, the M performance model. With a 3.0L straight 6 turbo engine combined with an electric motor, this beast churns out a whopping 571 horsepower and 800 Nm of torque. It's a heavy contender, weighing in at 2.5 tons, but it's worth every penny of its £120,000 price tag.
Next, we have the Audi A8, the L60 TFSI. This sleek machine boasts a 3.0L V6 turbo engine, delivering 462 horsepower and 700 Nm of torque. It may not have the same power as the BMW, but with its all-wheel drive and a price tag of £93,500, it's certainly not to be underestimated.
Last but not least, we have the Mercedes S-Class, the 580e long wheelbase. With a turbocharged straight 6 engine, this beauty packs a punch with 510 horsepower and 750 Nm of torque. It may have rear-wheel drive, but it's no slouch on the track. Starting at £108,000, it's a true competitor in this race.
The team puts these luxury sedans through their paces, including a drag race, a rolling race, and a brake test. The results are thrilling, with each car showcasing its strengths and weaknesses. In the end, it's the Mercedes S-Class that emerges victorious, with its impressive performance and smooth handling.
So there you have it, folks. The luxury plug-in hybrid sedan drag race has come to an end, and the Mercedes S-Class has claimed the crown. But let's not forget the incredible performance and power of the BMW 7 Series and the Audi A8. These cars may not have taken the top spot, but they certainly put up a fight. It's a testament to the incredible engineering and innovation that goes into creating these high-performance machines. Until next time, stay tuned for more exhilarating races and automotive adventures on carwow.
