Video: Drag race - Ferrari GTC4 vs. Mercedes SLR McLaren vs. Aston DBS

It's been a long time since we saw a Mercedes-Benz SLR McLaren (199 series). For Mercedes it symbolized the proverbial “finest hour”, because it was the birth child of the German brand association with McLaren. However, it did not sell as expected and did not reach the target annual 500 vehicles. In total, only 3.500 units of the Grand Tourer were to be built, but by the end of production in 2010 only 2.157 units had been made. There was simply no demand. Why actually? The SLR McLaren has a mighty 5,4 liter V8 compressor under the hood and develops 626 hp and 780 Newton meters of torque. Even 17 years later, these are still impressive key figures.

Only the sluggish five-speed automatic was not a hit. And now the rear-wheel drive SLR McLaren is supposed to show how it separates in a drag race compared to an Aston Martin DBS Superleggera and a Ferrari GTC4Lusso. The GTC4Lusso as a Gran Turismo Shooting Brake has a 6,2-liter V12 vacuum under the hood that delivers impressive 690 hp and 697 Nm torque and, in addition to all-wheel drive, also has a 7-speed F1 dual clutch transmission. And then there is the Aston Martin DBS Superleggera with 5,2-liter twin-turbo V12 and 725 hp and a torque of 900 Nm. With a curb weight of just 1845 kg, it is even the lightest and, like the SLR McLaren, has rear-wheel drive. Enjoy the video!
