Place Your Bets For This Honda NSX Vs Mercedes-AMG GT R Race

There’s more than one way to skin a cat, as the weird old saying goes. The point, in this case, is that if you have about £145,000 burning a hole in your pocket, there are two very different ways to spend it.

Car Wow has released the latest in its regular series of drag races. Standing toe to toe are the Mercedes-AMG GT R and the Honda NSX. One is a 4.0-litre, twin-turbo V8 brute sending all its muscle to the rear wheels, while the other is a petrol-electric hybrid with clever four-wheel drive and three electric motors to bolster its 3.5-litre blown V6.

The two cars try a straightforward drag race, then a rolling drag from third gear, and finally an emergency brake test from 70mph. Here’s a clue: the result is a 2-1 win… but which car is your money on?
