![]() ![]() ![]() I’m perfectly aware I won’t be the first to cross the finish line, but in my defense, the RS7 is kind of like a dinosaur compared to the others. With 605 hp (451 kW), the Performance version zaps to 60 mph (96 kmh) in 3.6 seconds on its way to 190 mph (305 kmh), which is amazing considering it weighs a hefty 4,497 pounds (2,039 kilograms) and has a luxurious cabin with enough room to accommodate four people and their luggage. I may have the oldest car at the drag strip, but the Audi RS7 is still an absolute rocket, and quite the looker even after all of these years. Above that benchmark, the Superfast has 127 hp (94 kW) more than the GTB, so I can only assume it’ll have a lot of top-end pulling power. And with that, well, the 812 Superfast out sprints the 488 GTB that was included in the real Drag Race clip by 0.1 second. ![]() That’s enough, Ferrari claims, to rocket the jaw-dropping car to 62 mph (100 kmh) in just 2.9 seconds. More seriously, the 812 Superfast replaces the F12berlinetta as Ferrari’s 12-cylinder brute, with 788 hp (587 kW) and 530 lb-ft (718 Nm) of torque from its 6.3-liter V12. Um, it’s right there in the name: Superfast. Boasting a 2.5-second 0-to-60 time, this thing has previously smacked down the Porsche 918 and Bugatti Veyron in the quarter mile, just to name a few. An all-electric, technological monster with a motor, inverter, and gearbox for each wheel, it destroys its rivals with a total 1,224 hp (838 kW) and 1,180 lb-ft (1,599 Nm) of torque on tap. The Concept_One from Rimac Automobili is my choice for a proper "World's Greatest Drag Race" because it's the best choice. It may not win the drag race, but you’ll have helluva soundtrack to listen to during it from the Hellcat-sourced V8 engine. That figure not only embarrasses the likes of a Porsche Cayenne Turbo S, or BMW X5 M, but also its Dodge Challenger Hellcat and Alfa Romeo Giulia Quadrifoglio distant FCA cousins. With 707-hp (527-kW) and 645 lb-ft (874 Nm) of torque, the Trackhawk leaps to 60 mph (96 kmh) in a blistering 3.5 seconds. Chris Cope Jeep Grand Cherokee Trackhawkįorget about all these other sedans and low-slung supercars when you can have a five-seat, all-wheel-drive, supercharged Jeep with the same amount of thrill. The only reason I'd not choose it over a short distance would be the challenge of keeping the front wheel down. Put that in your power-to-weight ratio pipe and smoke it. An electric motorcycle from California, the LS-218 delivers an instant 168 pound-feet (227 Newton-meters) of torque and 200 hp (149 kW) – in a package that weighs less than 500 pounds (226 kilograms). Over a quarter mile sprint, I'd put my money on the Lightning Motorcycles LS-218. In this race, its combination of all-wheel drive and a monster motor with sixteen cylinders and four turbochargers means it’ll leap off the line like a Dodge Demon and continue accelerating like, well, a Chiron, because we’ve never seen anything accelerate like this car can. Like its predecessor, the Veyron, it was designed to break records and redefine superlatives. The Chiron is king of king among supercars and hypercars. One can’t have an event called "World’s Greatest Drag Race" and not include the world’s greatest supercar. ![]()
