Remember the unbeatable Porsche we showed you not too long ago? Well, if back then it was putting to shame a C63 AMG and an Aventador, this time it’s taking on some even more powerful rivals.
The car in question is a tuned Porsche 911 Turbo that used to have 520 HP to rely on in stock guise. Along with those ‘ponies’ came an enormous amount of torque considering that it has just a 3.8-liter engine under the bonnet, even if it was turbocharged, no less than 710 Nm (524 lb-ft) of torque.

With the tune it has on now, the output is said to be close to 650 HP. Coupled with the superfast 7-speed PDK gearbox and the all-wheel drive system on board, this is a monster in a sleeper’s skin.

The cars it’s going up against should, therefore, be considered real heroes. First up was a 700 HP Audi RS7 that, as you probably guessed by now, was tuned by VAG doctor. We’re saying that because everyone knows that in standard guise, the four-ringed car has 560 HP coming in from the twin-turbo 4-liter V8 under the bonnet.

Since both cars have all-wheel drive, the launches were pretty close. We won’t go into details about the outcome of the race though.

Then came another Merc, this time a CLS63 AMG that was supposed to defend the honor of Afflaterbach’s cars. This one, using a 5.5-liter twin-turbo V8 massaged to make 557 HP in stock guise, also had 4Matic at its disposal. On top of that, it was tuned to produce an astounding 750 HP. Could the extra 100 HP make up for the weight distribution and put an end to the domination of the Porsche? Let’s take a look.
