Can Porsche Taycan Turbo S Beat 911 Turbo S, Audi RS6 In A Drag Race?
These VW Group hard-hitters give all they got in this 1-km sprint. The Porsche Taycan Turbo S is a quick machine. With a quarter-mile time of 10.7 seconds (for the 2021 model year), it's one of the reasons why electric vehicles today have gained a reputation in straight-line races unlike before.

Dodge Demon Visits UK, Challenges Porsche 911 Turbo S In A Drag Race
We never thought this day would come. Dodge doesn't officially sell cars in the UK. The American company had to pull out of the market in 2010 due to low sales, but that doesn't mean that you can't buy Dodge cars from across the Atlantic. Courtesy of importers, you still can get your hands on the American muscle cars even if you're in that part of the world. However, we haven't seen Carwow pit a Dodge Challenger in a drag race. For a YouTube channel that gained popularity from its weekly drag races, an appearance of the American muscle is a must – and this is that day.

Porsche ambassador Mark Webber drove a prototype and he loved it. The 718 and 911 sports car lineups remain at the core of Porsche, but the Zuffenhausen brand has greatly expanded its portfolio to lure in different customers. There are no fewer than three SUVs (Macan, Cayenne, Cayenne Coupe) that carry the Porsche crest, along with the Panamera liftback/wagon duo and the Taycan electric sedan . In a few weeks, the portfolio will further grow with the addition of the Taycan Cross Turismo. Initially teased as a concept car during the 2018 Geneva Motor Show, the zero-emissions wagon in production form is inching closer. Porsche took to Instagram to reveal brand ambassador and former Formula 1 driver Mark Webber had the opportunity to drive a thinly camouflaged prototype.
