Racing 125cc Bike Engines, Whether It's In Cars Or In Bikes, Is The Key To Hilarious Good Times

What happens when a Porsche Speedster, a Ferrari 250 GT, a Jaguar E-Type Series 1, and a Mercedes 300SL all line up on the starting line at your local drag strip?

I can't actually tell you, because that's not entirely what happened here. As you may have noticed, these are all very nice half-size versions of those legendary pieces of automotive history, loaned to the British YouTube channel carwow to help them make this video. They're meant for kids to race, are all outfitted with 125cc four-stroke motorcycle engines, and can go somewhere around 40 miles per hour. All but the Porsche are front-engined; the Porsche is of course rear-engined, as it should be, and all four cars are rear-wheel drive.
