The Mercedes MG Took 12.3 Seconds to Finish the Standing Quarter Mile

In this recent test, the Mercedes MG finished with a time of 12.3 seconds, beating out the BMW by just under half a second. The BMW came third in the competition, finishing with a time of 12.4 seconds. This finish is not surprising, given that both the M5 Competition and E63S have managed to complete the standing quarter mile in just 11.1 seconds in previous races. However, it's clear that this Mercedes MG has some impressive speed, making it a formidable competitor on the track.

A Rolling Race from 50 Miles per Hour with Auto Comfort Setting

The next test was a rolling race from 50 miles per hour, with the cars in auto comfort relaxed setting. The car that had kicked down first took off like a shot, and the author found themselves struggling to keep up. As they put it, "murk has just burgered off, I'm well beat there's no point even being in this from my point of view." This was not an isolated incident, as two other German cars disappeared during the test, leaving the author wondering what happened.

A Rolling Race from 50 Miles per Hour with Sporty Settings and Manual Gearbox

The next test was another rolling race from 50 miles per hour, but this time in sporty settings. The gearboxes were set to manual, and the author started off in third gear. As they put it, "come on, kick down!" - and the car did indeed respond by picking up speed. However, just as it seemed like the BMW was pulling ahead, the Mercedes faltered, allowing the Audi to take the lead.

A Final Rolling Race from 70 Miles per Hour with Full Emergency Stop

The final test was a rolling race from 70 miles per hour, but this time with a full emergency stop at the end. The author was in a rush to get the car ready and decided to use their brakes as much as possible, even though it was not necessary. As they put it, "I'm going to give that to the BMW in second place of the Audi." However, the author then revealed that they had shifted up a few hundred revolutions earlier to achieve this time, which suggests that there may be an issue with the car's performance.

The author mentioned that they found a good deal on one of the cars through CarWow, which will save buyers money on prices. They also provided links for readers who would like to check out the deals and see more drag racing videos.
