Video: Dodge Challenger Hellcat vs Porsche 911 Turbo S vs Nissan GT-R

30 June 2016

Feature

This is very simple: we have three great sports cars from three great car-making countries. And we want to know which is fastest in a quarter-mile drag race.

From the USA, we have the Dodge Challenger SRT Hellcat. From Germany, we have the Porsche 911 Turbo S. And from Japan, we have the car that has so far out-dragged everything we've put it up against, the Nissan GT-R.

This time, though, the GT-R might have met its match. After all, the 911 Turbo S is four-wheel drive and rear engined. The Hellcat is neither of those ... but it does have 707bhp.

Which do you think will be quickest?

Hellcat driver was spinning the wheels BEFORE the launch. Stupid & Pointless. A grandmother would have run a faster time by simply using launch control and flattening the throttle.

Not that it would have won anyway, but it would have been a better race.
