Ever wondered what the outcome of a drag race between a 310 kW hot hatch and 460 kW coupé would be? No neither did we but it still makes for some entertaining viewing.
The BMW M8 Competition dwarfs the Mercedes-AMG A 45 S in every aspect but what happens when you are launching the AWD hyper hatch in wet conditions against the RWD Bavarian?
As a reminder, the AMG makes use of a 2.0-litre turbocharged engine delivering 416 horsepower (310 kW) and 500 Nm of torque. The M8 employs a hefty 4.4-litre twin-turbo V8 with a stonking 617 hp (460 kW) and 750 Nm of torque.
