Hoonigan's Youtube channel held another drag duel: Mercedes-Benz R 63 AMG and Audi R8, both with modified engines, met in a duel. The family minivan was close to winning.
- In stock, the 5.2 V10 engine in the Audi R8 is naturally aspirated. The basic version produces 540 forces, the version with the plus prefix - 610 forces and accelerates to a hundred in 3.2 seconds. But on the car participating in the race, an additional compressor is installed, and the final return is unknown.
- The Mercedes-Benz R 63 AMG has 510 forces in the factory version, taken from the atmospheric "eight" with a volume of 6.2 liters. Acceleration to hundreds takes five seconds for the model. The installed compressor brought the power up to 700 hp.
- In the first race, Audi slept a little, and Mercedes was the first with an advantage of about a body. In the second start, the situation was reversed. In the final start, the R-class got a head start at the start, but the "Erka" from Ingolstadt still managed to get around it. The race was carried out at 1000 feet (just over 300 meters).
- Last summer, this same Mercedes-Benz R-class set a speed record for a minivan on public roads. He obeyed the mark of 266.3 km / h. The standard AMG is not much slower. His electronic limiter is triggered at 250 km / h.
