Porsche 911 Carrera 4S Drag Races Renntech Mercedes-AMG GT S On the Highway

The YouTuber took his Zuffenahausen machine out to play, getting together with the said Affalterbach machine. And, as he does is most of his videos, the shenanigan involved a brief drag race.

Given the fact that we're talking about a 420 hp Porsche Neunelfer duking it out with a Mercedes-AMG massaged to over 600 hp, you might wonder why the battle didn't involve a standing start, which would've allowed the Neunelfer to make use of its rear-biased weight distribution and all-wheel-drive.

Well, there are at least two reasons for that. For one thing, Nick's car has a manual and spicy take-offs mean abusing the clutch. Then there's public road the playground chosen for the battle, which means stopping in order to race can complicate things.

Nevertheless, the velocity brawl remains enticing, being an example of just how fierce such an all-German encounter can get.

This battle only makes us think of the Affalterbach-Zuffenhausen battle epitome, which obviously involves the Nurburgring.

While none of the German missile producers will officially admit they are engaged in such a fight, it's enough to check out their Green Hell efforts to figure everything out.

For now, the brawl involving the GT and the Neunelfer is topped by the latter. The Porscha victory came thanks to the 2018 911 GT2 RS grabbing the Green Hell production car lap record via a 6:47.3 lap.

Nevertheless, once the new Mercedes-AMG GT range-topper shows up next year, things could change. We've spied the thing on multiple occasions this year and whether it will land in Black Series of street-legal GT4 racecar incarnation, we can't wait to meet it.
