10 Craziest Drag Races Of The Month: July 2018 Edition

Tesla vs the Germans, many Mopars, and the slowest drag race in history.

We are living in a world where smartphones have made everyone a professional videographer. Hence why everytime one of the latest sports cars or supercars enters a drag race, someone is always there to record it. This month was filled with awesome internet race videos, but we've picked out 10 particularly entertaining ones for our list of 10 Craziest Drag Races of the Month: July 2018 Edition.

Lamborghini Huracan vs AMG GT R

This drag race seems like an easy conclusion, but victories are never guaranteed in real life. The 602 horsepower V10 Lamborghini Hurcan should easily defeat the 577 hp AMG GT R, but the Mercedes does have a 200-pound weight advantage, so it's anyone's race.

Volvo V5 vs All Comers

This V50 T5 is no ordinary Volvo, it is a 500 hp sleeper wagon. In this video, we see the V50 race against a 740 hp BMW M4 and a Porsche 991 Turbo S. It may not win, but it does show how far a good tuning job can take a car.

Audi Q5 vs Q5 vs SQ5

It is always interesting to see how much faster one model of a car is against another. This race pits a standard Audi Q5 2.0T against a Q5 TDI and an SQ5. It doesn't take three guesses to determine which Q5 is going to win.

Audi RS3 Sportback vs Lamborghini Aventador

We don't get the Audi RS3 Sportback in the US, but videos like this make us wish we did. The 2.5-liter turbocharged five-cylinder can be tuned to produce huge power figures, enough to challenge an Aventador. After defeating a few Mercedes AMG and BMW Alpina cars, the RS3 turns its sights on the Lamborghini.

Volkswagen Golf With RS3 Engine

This video doesn't feature a head-to-head drag race, but it does show an Mk7 Volkswagen Golf with the five-cylinder engine out of an Audi RS3. The car has been upgraded with a TTE625 turbocharger and now produces 600 hp. We seriously wish VW would build a Golf R with the RS3's five-cylinder engine.

BMW M5 vs Seat Arosa Diesel

This sounds like one of the most obvious drag races on this list. How could a diesel Seat possibly beat a brand-new, 600 hp BMW M5? This race turns out to be a one-sided affair, but not in the way you might expect.

Dodge Demon vs Lamborghini Huracan

In the first of several videos featuring a Demon or Hellcat racing something else, the Demon embarrasses itself by running out of fuel mid-race. Dodge does brag about how quickly its products can drink gasoline in its own press releases, so this result doesn't really surprise us.

Dodge Hellcats vs Everything Else

In a video showing a bunch of Hellcats drag racing, there are bound to be some victories. However, there are also bound to be some crippling defeats. Running out of gas may be embarrassing, but nothing is worse than going up in smoke halfway down the drag strip.

Dodge Hellcat vs Audi R8 (In The City)

Driving on a race track is very different than driving in the real world. Real roads have bumps, potholes, rain, police, and all sorts of obstacles. The Hellcat may be a very powerful car, but putting the power down on public roads can be difficult, which is why AWD cars like the Audi R8 have the advantage.

Ford Model T vs Model A

This is easily the slowest race on this list, but it may also be the most entertaining. At an annual cruise event, Route 66 was shut down to host a drag race between a Ford Model A and a Ford Model T. The race may have been quicker if they had done it on foot.

You Have To Watch These 10 Amazing Drag Races

A supercar showdown and a race against a drone are just two of the 10 awesome races.

Following our previous drag race compilation, we have ten more awesome races to shared for your viewing pleasure. As always, watching these races is more exciting if you try to guess the winner. See how many correct predictions you can make and leave your score in the comments. With more than a few neck-and-neck finishes, these races are not always easy to predict.

Ferrari 812 Superfast Vs. McLaren 720S

Very few cars can match the fury of the McLaren 720S with its 4.0-liter, 710 horsepower V8. Perhaps the Ferrari 812 Superfast may be one of the,. With a 6.5-liter V12 producing 789 hp, can the front-engined Ferrari top the mid-engined McLaren?

Mercedes C63 AMG Vs. Alfa Romeo Giulia QV

In the compact sports sedan segment, the Mercedes C63 AMG and Alfa Romeo Giulia Quadrifoglio sit at the top in terms of power. Each produces over 500 hp from their twin-turbo engines, though the AMG does have two extra cylinders (a V8 vs a V6). Which one will win in a series of races, with and without launch control?

Audi RS3 Vs. Ford Focus RS

The Ford Focus RS is one of the best hot hatchbacks on the market, but can it stand up to the mighty Audi RS3? Both cars have all-wheel-drive grip, but the Audi has an extra cylinder (five) and 50 extra hp (400). With a quick shifting dual-clutch transmission, the Audi also holds the advantage with shift times. Will this race be a foregone conclusion?

Ultimate Supercar Drag Race

Most drag races involve two cars, competing to see which is best. Here, we get to see two Porsche 911s (a GT3 RS and a GT2 RS), a Lamborghini Huracan Performante Coupe and Spyder, a Ferrari 488 GTB, and a McLaren 675 LT. This is a very diverse lineup of supercars, but which one do you think will win as the cars face off against each other?

Nissan GT-R Nismo Vs. Porsche 911 GT3 RS

After a massive hiatus, Fifth Gear is finally back on television. The series's 27 season features a drag race between the Nissan GT-R Nismo and the Porsche 911 GT3 RS. Even though the GT-R is typically seen as the better car for drag races, the track-focused 911 may be within a shot of winning this straight line race.

Dodge Challenger Vs. Dodge Viper

In a sibling rivalry, this drag race pits a Dodge Challenger Scat Pack against a fourth generation Dodge Viper. The Challenger seems like it will be at a disadvantage in this race, even with a 485-hp 6.4-liter V8. The Viper has a more powerful 600-hp 8.4-liter V10, but the driver does have to execute the perfect manual shift while the Challenger owner can just let the automatic take care of it.

Bugatti Chiron Vs. McLaren 720S

The McLaren 720S is borderline unbeatable in a drag race. However, even the 720S may have to admit defeat when it's up against a Bugatti Chiron. The Chiron's W16 engine produces 1,500 hp, making it twice as powerful as the mighty 720S. You can probably guess the winner here.

Audi S8 Plus Vs. Porsche 911 Turbo

If someone who didn't know anything about cars looked at this drag race, they'd assume the sexy sports car would beat the boring sedan. Stands to reason. However, that "boring" sedan is an Audi S8 Plus, which is powered by a 605-hp twin-turbo V8. The Porsche 911 Turbo makes do with just 520 hp, though it is much lighter. Can the sleeper sedan keep up with the purpose-built sports car?

AMG GT Roadster Vs. Drone

Seeing cars race other cars is fun, but seeing a car race a drone is pretty cool too. The Mercedes AMG GT Roadster produces 467 hp from a twin-turbo V8, while the drone doesn't have nearly as much power. Still, the drone is able to hit 60 mph in just one second. Yeah, you heard that correctly. This race was over before it started.

GMC Sierra Vs. Nissan Titan Vs. Ram 1500

We highly doubt that truck owners base their purchase decision on straight line speed, but this didn't stop The Fast Lane Truck from lining up three trucks for a drag race. The GMC Sierra is the most powerful with a 6.2-liter 420-hp V8. The Titan's 5.7-liter V8 produces 390 hp while the Ram's 5.7-liter is good for 395 hp. As it turns out, the transmissions have more to do with the outcome of the race than the engines. So, which do you think has the best transmission for a drag race?
