Two large, German luxury sedans are matched up to determine which one is faster.
This drag race video by Gumbal features two high-performance luxury vehicles. The video starts with the stunning Alpina HTML7 Biturbo in Alpina green. The video is being closely followed by a bright blue Audi RS6 avant.
But that Audi isn’t the machine Alpina will be racing against. The BMW tuned and customised BMW will race against a Mercedes AMG GT63 S. This is the matchup that we all wanted to see.
The 608 horsepower, twin-turbocharged luxury sedan is warming up against a smaller stablemate, the BMW 2. The Alpina destroys the M2, leaping ahead from the beginning and never looking back.
We’re now ready for the main event, as the matte-grey AMG meets the Alpina. Both cars share a lot in common. They are both bespoke, ultra-luxury performance sedans. Both cars are powered by twin turbo V8 engines. Both cars have all-wheel drive. Each produces more than 600 horsepower.
Which one is faster? As both cars move into the starting line, tension builds. The AMG is in the left lane, the Alpina in the right. This time the AMG wins the holeshot, slightly ahead of B7.
The cars seem almost dead even and the B7 is catching up, but the Alpina can’t overcome its defeat at launch. The AMG appears to have won the race by less than one car length.
It is possible that the results could be different if the race were repeated multiple times. The cars appeared to be evenly matched and the outcome seemed to be down to the drivers. This is drag racing at its best.
