  • (droning music)

  • - Hi there.

  • (speaking in foreign language)

  • This is the sixth running

  • of the world's greatest drag race.

  • This year, the competition is tougher than ever,

  • however, I think I'm driving the winner.

  • This is the all new Acura NSX.

  • And in addition to all-wheel drive, I've got three,

  • count them one, two, three electric motors.

  • What's good about an electric motor in a drag race?

  • Instant torque.

  • The second I hit the gas pedal, I get all that torque

  • at zero RPM.

  • And then the high horsepower gasoline engine takes over.

  • Plus, I've got a quick shifting dual clutch transmission.

  • However, there are 11 other cars that think

  • they have a shot at crossing that finish line first.

  • Let's meet the competition.

  • Wearing a creamsicle inspired paint job,

  • it's the Aston Martin V12 Vantage S with its funny shifter.

  • There's the impressive-handling Chevy Camaro 1LE.

  • There's an eye-searing yellow Shelby Mustang GT350R.

  • Oh, the great looking water-injected BMW M4 GTS.

  • The track day champ, the Dodge Viper ACR.

  • This has to be the best looking Porsche of all time,

  • a Miami blue Carrera S.

  • Here's the most powerful Jaguar of all time, the F-Type SVR.

  • The return of the Jewish racing gold AMG GTS.

  • Godzilla makes another appearance.

  • There's the impressively powerful and ridiculously light

  • McLaren 570S.

  • And here's the teutonic stud, the Audi R8 V10 Plus.

  • And none of them stand a chance.

  • (engines revving)

  • This is the world's greatest drag race six.

  • - What Johnny doesn't know is that I've gone to the office

  • and stolen his long term Dodge Charger Hellcat.

  • I'm going to use it in the race.

  • - Sup bro?

  • - Hey, Johnny.

  • What are you driving?

  • - NSX. - Cool.

  • - Yeah, you?

  • (coughing) - Hellcat.

  • - What?

  • (coughing) - Hellcat.

  • - My Hellcat?

  • That's not part of best driver's car.

  • - It has more horsepower and torque

  • than anything here, though.

  • - That's a good point.

  • The only problem is that we got 12 guys dressed like this

  • and 13 cars.

  • So I suggest we just cut the slowest one here,

  • that being your Aston Martin.

  • Why are you smiling? - Okay.

  • - I just put tires on the Hellcat.

  • I'd like two weeks out of them, okay?

  • - Two minutes, maybe.

  • (engine revving)

  • Okay, so the 707 horsepower Hellcat

  • might have the most power here, but it's a big heavy sedan.

  • There's another car with almost as much horsepower,

  • the Viper ACR.

  • It has just 650 horsepower,

  • but it weighs 1,151 fewer pounds.

  • With a manual transmission, long gearing,

  • and really sticky tires, the Viper is a tricky car

  • to launch properly.

  • Get it right and you're in store for a 3.3 second run

  • to 60 miles an hour.

  • However, at higher speeds, that big wing

  • creates lot of drag, and that slows it down.

  • The McLaren doesn't have to deal with that,

  • and thanks to its computer-controlled launch control,

  • it's a whole lot easier to get off the line.

  • Unfortunately, it gives up a hundred horsepower

  • to the Viper.

  • Then again, the 570S is the lightest car here,

  • and then there's the Audi.

  • The R8 is 500 pounds heavier than the McLaren,

  • but it has all-wheel drive to rocket off the line.

  • Plus, it's naturally aspirated V10 screams to 9000 RPM,

  • and it's dual clutch is one of the quickest shifting

  • transmissions on the planet.

  • Will that be enough to edge out the rest of these

  • horsepower-riddled cars?

  • Hang on and find out.

  • (dramatic bass music)

  • (engines revving)

  • Alright, there's nothing really for me to do.

  • Just sit in my air conditioned seat, put it in drive,

  • and fight wheel spin the entire way down the runway,

  • because this is a big stupid sedan with 707 horsepower.

  • - He stands no chance in that Hellcat against this, the NSX.

  • And have I mentioned how easy it is to launch this Acura?

  • Super easy.

  • - Alright, five, four, three, two.

  • (engines revving)

  • (laughing)

  • (engines humming)

  • - I kicked the stuffing out of Jason in the Hellcat.

  • - 707 horsepower and I finished in the back of the pack.

  • - Vietnamese coffee, who knew?

  • - [Jason] It's all over pretty quickly

  • when you have cars this fast.

  • The NSX's electric motors gave it a jump off the line,

  • but the Audi blows right by on its way

  • to a 2.6 second zero to 60.

  • And the Audi stays in the lead the whole way,

  • crossing the quarter mile marker after just 10.6 seconds.

  • If we'd kept going, the R8 would get passed by the McLaren,

  • which is less than a car length behind,

  • but traveling almost two miles an hour quicker.

  • 101 feet and 6/10 behind the Audi is Godzilla itself,

  • the Nissan GTR, which crosses the line just 16 feet

  • before Johnny and his NSX.

  • That's right, Johnny, hope you're enjoying fourth place.

  • Next up, the Mercedes AMG GTS, followed closely

  • by the Jaguar F-Type SVR.

  • Oh, but if you think the Viper's up next, you're wrong.

  • It's that insanely overachieving Porsche 911

  • pulling an 11.5 at a 120 miles an hour.

  • The Viper is 12 feet behind the Porsche.

  • Then 4/10 of a second later, here I come

  • in a big heavy Hellcat, which didn't win,

  • but it did spin its tires long enough

  • to beat the M4 GTS by two car lengths.

  • The Mustang Shelby GT350R was right behind the Bimmer,

  • and then in dead last place, is the Chevy Camaro SS 1LE.

  • That's right, the slowest car in this group runs a 12.4

  • at 114.2 miles an hour, or in other words,

  • zero to jail in 10 seconds or less.

  • It's a good thing we're on a closed course.

  • (engines humming)

  • Can you guys see me?

  • 'Cause it feels like I have my back to the camera.

  • You okay?

  • - You should have your back to the camera at first.

  • - Okay. - Yeah, it's okay.

  • - Okay.

  • - [Johnny] That's Tony's new technique, back to the camera.

  • - [Camera Man] Back to camera, is it?

  • - Put your back to camera--

  • - [Johnny] You're doing a lot of stuff

  • with like people's backs and cameras lately.

  • - I love it. - Step to your left, Jason.

  • - [Johnny] Really?

  • - We all set guys? - Ah, this breeze.

  • - [Camera Man] And then he turns around, right?

  • He's looking away?

  • He's looking away and turns to us?

  • Perfect do it again.

  • - [Jason] That was a little weird.

  • - [Camera Man] Why was that weird?

  • - My laugh was a little weird. - There was a couple flubs.

  • - [Camera Man] One more time?

  • Not perfect, do it again.

  • - Yep, imperfect. - Imperfect.

  • - Just pretend it was perfect.

  • - [Camera Man] What do you want to have your last line be?

  • You say nevermind, love you.

  • - This is the world's greatest drag race six.
