There’s a giant gap between a Ferrari F40 and a modern-day Mercedes-Benz wagon from any perspective you can think of. But there’s at least one thing that connects these two seemingly unmatched machines – they both need a little more than four seconds to reach 60 miles per hour from a standstill. And as weird as it may sound, this makes them good contenders for a direct drag race.
This – plus a two-day, 800-mile trip – was the basic thinking behind Doug DeMuro’s decision to race his Mercedes E450 All-Terrain against the iconic supercar. This happened during an event held by The Petersen Museum, where tens of different cars raced each other for fun (and extra video content). DeMuro was there as a guest and a host but ultimately decided to race his dad's wagon.
