The BMW M5 is a potent family sedan designed to deliver groceries and return blistering Nurburgring lap times. The Mercedes-AMG GT S is even more capable but far less usable. However, those differences disappear in a new YouTube video that pits a tuned M5 F10 against a stock AMG GT S in a series of drag races.
Powering the AMG GT S is Mercedes’ twin-turbocharged 4.0-liter V8 engine. It makes 510 horsepower (380 kilowatts) and 479 pound-feet (650 Newton-meters) of torque, channeling it through a seven-speed dual-clutch transmission exclusively to the rear wheels.
