Default World's Greatest Drag Race 4!


It's back! The World's Greatest Drag Race returns with 10 of the world's best supercars and sports cars facing off in an epic quarter-mile sprint for glory... and ultimate bragging rights! This year's field includes all 10 contenders from Motor Trend's 2014 Best Driver's Car

We have the Alfa Romeo 4C, BMW i8, BMW M4, Chevrolet Camaro Z/28, Ford Fiesta ST, Jaguar F-Type R Coupe, Nissan GT-R Nismo, Porsche 911 Turbo S, Subaru WRX STI & Volkswagen Golf GTI -- all gathered together on an abandoned airstrip at El Toro Marine Base to find out which car is the fastest. Obviously these 10 competitors display a wide range of power and performance, so why do we continue lining them up for one, over-the-top drag race?... Because We Can!

Nice race with the high performance cars. If the drivers all met in one room,I bet the Ford fiesta driver got some smack talk

Typical expected result. I still believe the Nismo is quicker, maybe no launch control.

Would like to see the new Huracan. It is really fast. Of course 650S and Aventador are the fastest cars. But what about NSX? Will that car ever come?

The Turbo S straight line speed is ridiculous and unlimited launches on the gearbox is amazing.

The Nismo GTR I believe is faster (just barely) around some particular tracks / circuits but otherwise the power / weight ratio easily goes to the Porsche. You can even spot the size difference in comparing to the M4 even.

Would love to see the new Hyper Cars thrown in there - LaFerrari / P1 / 918 and hell woul love to see the Pagani Huayra as well.

Man... I know the next gen GTR will be gunning for the big guys.. can't wait.

Woo Hoo for the Ford Fiesta in the mix It's still a great car in it's own right.

Hellcat Charger would have been right with the Porsche....supposedly will pull a 11.0 1/4 mile (beating the GT-R?)

World's Greatest Drag Race 4 reached over 1 million views in 4 days... but you wanted more! You asked for more car sound and less music. We listened. Enjoy this exclusive "Unplugged" version of the World's Greatest Drag Race 4! without any music - it's the all-engine orchestra you didn't get to hear... until now!

Cool

The Nismo gtr does 0-60 in 2.08 seconds. Unfortunatly, the GOOFS at motortrend failed to fuel the Nissan with 93+ octane the Nismo version is tuned for. Despite the 91 octane found in California they made no effort to get the gtr the fuel it deserves. The Nismo gtr is indeed quicker than the Porsche turbo s.
