This video production brings us into the world of elite sports coupes. These three extraordinary examples of performance innovation have been gathered on a closed course to compete in drag and roll racing. The American entry makes the most horsepower while the German car claims the superior 0 to 60 time. The Swedish coupe makes the most torque. So, which of these bone stock entries will prove superior when the rubber meets the road? Shall we find out?

The GT500 and the Polestar 1 get lined up as one driver reveals that his ride has a feature known as “Drag Mode”. Hmm. Wonder how that works? Buckle up and hold on to your hat. This is about to get crazy.
