....................................................................
We’ve finally got our hands on the new Mercedes-AMG SL 55, so of course, we had to take it for a drag race!
We’ve got Mat lining up in the AMG, and alongside him, we have Yianni in a Porsche 911 GTS. Oh, and there's also a BMW M850i and a Jaguar F-Type R lining up for good measure!
So let’s see how this set of convertibles compares. Starting with the AMG, it’s powered by a 4-litre twin-turbo V8 that’s good for 476hp and 700Nm. It’s equipped with four-wheel-drive, tips the scales at 1,950kg, and costs an eye-watering £147,000!
The Porsche is the lightest car in the line-up, weighing in at 1,615kg. It’s powered by a 3-litre twin-turbo flat-six that can deliver 480hp and 570Nm, but it may have a potentially significant disadvantage… It’s only equipped with RWD!
Next up we have the BMW, with a 4.4-litre twin-turbo V8 that can put down 530hp and 750Nm. It may have 4WD, but it’s also the heaviest car here, tipping the scales at 2,125kg! Then finally we have the Jag. With an awesome 5-litre Supercharged V8 under the bonnet, it can deliver 575hp and 700Nm. It’s also packing 4WD and weighs in at 1790kg.
So how will this play out? Can the all-new SL snatch a win? Or will the power of the Jag propel it to victory? There’s only one way to find out… LET’S RACE!

What's the best car in this line-up?
All day every day Porsche! I like the Porsche 911 GTS!
The Merc!

JAGUAR and Porsche
m850i
So happy to see a Jaguar car after a long long time in a drag race!
We need more British cars Mat! Missing the new vantage in the drag races, an bring back the Ftype SVR!
Pretty impressive for an older car (compared to the other ones in this race)
carwow is shill for German car industry
it hurts me when ppl always critisizes jaguar & it hurts me even more company is not serious to fix cons
@@bsjddjk Jaguar is a good car company!
That Jag did better than I was expecting. Bloody lovely looking thing too.
Hit👆👆 me up on telegram
I have something special for..
@@patucca6399 you can hear it from inside ur car 200m behind on the highway it’s so fun
The facelift F Type is so beautiful. It’s such a shame that Jaguar isn’t reliable :(
Edit: So i guess the newer ones are more reliable and that's nice! If i could only buy one sportscar, i would definitely buy the F-Type.
@@nothingleft777 ex jag and Porsche owner. Jag IS reliable trust me. Had far more visits to dealer with Porsche than Jag.
@@nothingleft777 It seems that most people prefer the old version, but i also like the facelift more.
The F-Type sounds amazing! It certainly stood up well against the competition. I think they're fantastic cars.
It’s not even the top F-Type. Should have put the SVR version up against the others.
@@chethorley4670 especially since it's older than the others
@@chethorley4670 dont have a new svr anymore
@@chethorley4670It is the top. The R, which has the same engine as the old Svr.
@@dlj1285 I thought the SVR had slightly more horsepower than the R. Both 5L engines though.
That Jaguar was very impressive 🏎💭🔥
How can you forget to tell Yianni that his car was a rear wheel drive😭 His reaction would have been hilarious but after that 3rd race his reaction would have definetly been full of how amazing of a driver he believes he is😂😂
Because it's fake
@@jd32k what is fake?🤣
@@dmoney6388 His brain is fake.
@John Duggan you got it dude the drag races are all fake its all done on a green screen you're right
@@Alixer560 the one used by Yianni has 39bhp less.
Love that Yanni didn't even realise he was in a RWD, yet still the Porsche launches so well
🤦🏽♂️
In warm weather, AWD offers no acceleration advantage vs RWD in a 911. One of my favorite things about driving a 911.
The engine is in the back, no 💩
@@Y14nny Yianni, i bet the BMW weight heavier than even the DB7 VOLANTE.
@@The_Stanman yep.
While the 1st place in the drag race was no surprise, it was cool to see the Jag coming in at the 2nd 👌🏻
It came first two times out of three. I say it won the drag.
Jag won everything. Like before we don’t count the Porsche. It’s in his own league
If they add jaguar top variant then it will be unanimous winner
Not surprising tho with such an an engine :) as a convertible it looks better too, bit like Aston. The SL55 is both for looks & performance not great but the older version was even slower.
F Type is very reliable
Sooooooper happy about the Jag's performance during these races. 👌👌
Every Porsche….stats wise is slow….until the race begins 🔥
Porsche engineering is GOATED
Yianni is a character 😂😂😂😂😂😂
@@njabulo93 fr😂😂😂

Volkswagen engineering
@@TheSuperBoyProject Porsche belongs to Volkswagen but Porsche still has their own development center with their own engineers. So yes its "Porsche Engineering" and not Volkswagen Engineering:)
@@TheSuperBoyProject Educate yourself before commenting 🤡
man that f type just looks so gorgeous 😍😍
The F Type cant match Jaguar E Type tho.
Best looking car in that line up.

@@dammyo6010 yep
@@purwantiallan5089 in looks maybe in everything else the F type drives better,performs better, fairly obvious it’s a lot newer car.
Miss my F-Type so much. For a car as old as it, it did really well!
Impressed by the Jag , also the Jag was fast off the line in all the races. The Porsche even with the roof-down and 2Wd is awesome
This was a better promo video for the much older Jag than it was for any of the 2022-23 cars in the race. The F-Type remains at the top of the affordable dream car segment for me.
You are 100% correct
That Jaguar did so well!!! & It's Great to see Jaguars in these races Again!
This is why I love Porsche 🥰
Won the drag race against all 4WD!
For me it's just a dream to ever drive a Porsche, I remain at Matt's entertaining videos.
Congrats 👏 You made my day.
Jags sounds amazing in person. I'm happy to have seen it do so well and be hunting down the Porsche!
That F-Type is impressive!! Wow did not expect that
Jaguar: 5.0 supercharge, 575hp, 750nm and under 1,800kg. So not reale impressive vs the other cars.
@@eftetova This one has 550hp and 680nm. They mixed it up with the facelifted R. Still not that big of a change in numbers 😅
The 2015 RWD is even after off a roll ;)
@@eftetova It's still impressive because cars today need less hp than cars from 3-4 years ago.
Not expect?? It has the strongest engine, no wonder.
Jaguar is so underrated as a brand. Great all round sports cars that are value for money.
carwow just promotes german cars more assume the german industry fund them more
I feel the same, so few British and Italian cars!
unreliability tag
as an owner of a '21 f-pace svr I have to agree, previous cars I have owned including an X5M, Mercedes GLC AMG and an audio RSQ3, simply have nothing on its performance, sound and driving experience, however ironically, the jags reliability, has been top of the pack!
Edit: i accidentally made a typo rsq5 instead of rsq3, which i was most very aware about XD
No to be honest they are not.
The f type r is the best looking best sounding and tied 2x and came 2nd 2x and won the brake test and if that ain’t impressive idk what is , I love jags ❤
What I appreciate most ab Carwow’s drag races is the fact that he does a 1/4 mile dig, 1/4 mile roll, 1/2 mile roll, and sometimes even a 1 mile roll. Really gets to see how each car truly performs.
I was silently rooting for the Jag and it didn't disappoint!
8:46
I love the JAAAAG detail at 2:50 😂. That’s why we all love carwow.
Was gonna say that. Brilliant!! 👏🏻😆
I was given the keys to a m850 xdrive 2022 while my M4 is in BMW service and I have to say, it's an amazing driving car but you can really feel the weight. It doesn't know if it wants to be a sports car or just a GT car but still the twin turbo V8 is a insanely smooth.
About polish channel: that's awesome idea, most of polish people don't have any issues watching your vids, but I recommended polish version for my dad. He's 57 and he's loving it. Keep up good work carwow!
During the drag race you can hear that f type more than all the other cars what a beast!
Agree. But E Type still better then.
F-Type sounds amazing
The one to get for me. I wouldn't care being 0.2 faster or slower but hearing the Supercharged V8 with the roof down... 🤤🤤🤤
@@Ruben98RaptoR the supercharged v6 sounds good too.
An 'affordable' used Jag F-Type R is now high on my list for a retirement toy. Did not know they were this quick!
I have an F Type R tuned by DMS to 650 bhp , it’s pretty quick, not just fast in a straight line sounds incredible to, just sold my 600 LT and this still doesn’t feel slow at all 👍.
I swear I ran straight to autotrader 😅
@@letsbereal8653 too right 🤣
affordable as in price used, or as in keeping it serviced , repaired and running for several years ? Two different things...
@@reductio1000 I don't think anyone expects the cost of ownership to be like Toyota for any of these performance cars. My buddy has an a 2015 S63 Coupe AMG, bought it certified 2 years ago, purchased a warrantee extension as well. Good thing as it only has 35,000 miles but the dealer has spent about $3 grand on it fixing incidental stuff. So yea, if one does not recognize the premium COO that comes with the fun, so sorry.
"Yes, I've got a Jag." 😆
Best part in the whole vid..!!
Your vids are always hillarious. Figured the Mecedes would be last as they are getting crappier every year but was surprised at the Jag. The superchargers usually take a bit to kick up but it got off the line pretty well.
Mat is just chilling in a $3,000 puffer jacket 😂
Ouuu yeah baby, guy know how to dress. Very strange for motorsport journalist…
that is one overpriced jacket. I bet it cost 10$ to make it somewhere in Asia. I wouldn't pay more than 150-200$ for that.
@@LisakRacing AMAZING for a motorsport journalist
Mat just loves Burberry!
@@silimarina. not even TVR GRIFFITH can do better than this Jaguar...
I’ve been waiting for an FType R for ages! The sound!
Still sounded worse than even Ferrari F355.
@@purwantiallan5089 Sure bud. Suuuuuure.
@@purwantiallan5089 Wow, judging by your large number of anti-FType comments, you seem to have a huge grudge against it.🤣
...show us on the doll where the Jag touched you!
@@purwantiallan5089 the F-Type sounds even much better in real life than on videos I've noticed that. Please if you get a chance listen to one.
@@purwantiallan5089 🤦♂️ no it doesn’t it’s different that’s all
Great race Mat!
The joy on Yianni's face when he's winning is so child-some. He should always be given the best car :D
Would be better if you had a big chart in the end of the video with drag, roll and brake tests.
Stating winners and losers of each test! Like a little summary of a video shown in a one table, who won and lost!
Huge respect ✊!!!
greaT IDEA
What, so you can skip to the end and don't have to watch the boring video? Pay attention dude
@@karldubelheimer3959 if you think these videos are boring, why are you watching?
Not exactly much to remember is there??!
@@fivespeed3026 whoosh
The jaag does not have 575hp but 550 as it is the pre-facelift. The SVR version, however, does have 575
XJ220 still better than F Type.
@@purwantiallan5089 what’s your point? Mercedes, BMW, and Porsche all have better cars than what is shown in this lineup.
Still the highest hp but the Porsche...🤔 Unless Porsche underrating the car's power
@@purwantiallan5089 what’s that supposed to mean better at what ?
No the Germans invest in engine technology so they produce torque throughout the the rev range. That’s why they are quicker than a Jag with 100 peak bhp more.
Always love the brake tests.
The sl and jaguar look magnificent
The jaaaag isn’t the fastest but it sounds sooo much better and it still got its second place… just perfect
Jag won? Won the first 2 dragraces.. and lost the rolling race of course because of weight and then won the brake test also and won the best test of them al and thats the sound test..
@ss if if if😂
@ss hahaha many time’s the car is faster or has more hp than the factory said
Very impressed by the Jaguar's performance considering it's a 5+ year old model.
I drove a 2016 Lamborghini with 610hp and then drove the 5.0 L V8 Jag and it was the most fun car i have ever driven and felt so much quicker
Wow I’m blown away with that Jag seriously what a machine!
I'm so jelly, amazing line up of cars!
Give us more of that Jaguar PLEASE !!!!!!! That was the underdog of this race and it did very well 😉💫
You must be a connoisseur of Indian products
Better not praise the Jag, some small dick porsche and mercedes fan boys are going to try to verbally abuse you over the internet
@Paul Hitchens Nothing wrong about being owned by a civilized group of people. You're comparing sidewalk pooping with advanced mechanized global powers
@@realkingtv7885 indian or not, it spanked 2 out of 3 of those german vaccuum cleaners
@@realkingtv7885 funny because its engineered in the UK not in India. Just because its owned by an Indian firm doesn't mean it originates from there
That 911 just shouldn't be that fast , absolutely fantastic engineering, plus the lump over the drive wheels lol
911 lost 6mph on that drag race.
The 911 was a GTS; it produces more horsepower than the SL (480hp for the GTS vs 469hp for the SL 55) _and_ weighs less than the SL. Therefore, the result was to be expected!
@@zix_zix_zix Still insane how well it launches, especially as it's the only RWD car here.
@@zix_zix_zix OK and the Jaguar? There weren't just two cars in the race buddy! Also I'm not just going off this video alone! Also I'm not being a champion for the Porker, personally I find them to un exotic but admittedly the way they put that power down is ferocious
@@xenon500d RWD but the engine is at the rear so it holds the power at the wheels very well on launch
finally the ftype in a drag race! thrashing the others in terms of looks, sound and performace what more do you need from a car?! we need to see them in more races matt!
I love a jag I used to own an XFS so rooting for the F-/type
winning or losing, that Jag is just gorgeoussss.
Glad you used the pre facelift f type looks far better in my opinion 🔥🔥
Agreed, but the white doesn't do it justice IMO. Black w/ blackout trim is my jam.
Great to see the the Jag doing well.
After owning an F-Type R, I can say it’s a great head turner, but be prepared for it spend more time in the repairs garage, than out on the road….
That jag was pretty unpredictable ❤😮
I think the all round winner was the Jaaaag, much older than the others and still performed really well, certainly the one I'd choose.
Indeed.. won the first 2 dragraces.. of course it lost in the rolling race because of weight then won the brake test en most important test it won the sound test..
Top job from the Jag!!!!!! 🇬🇧🇬🇧🇬🇧
Holy mother of God! The Jag is conceptionally anywhere from 6 to 10 years older than the other cars here and still always comes in at least second if not first. And it's probably the cheapest option, too. It certainly is the prettiest option. Looks like the German manufacturers have blown this.
Love the look and the performance of the jag.
That last drag launch from the Porsche was really impressive. shows that you dont really need AWD if your engine is in the back.
Though it would be really interesting ti see a comparison between a Carrera S and a Carrera 4S, if the AWD actually makes up for the added weight in a 1/4 mile.
Yep. Porsche always nailed those launches.
the 4wd Porsche would destroy the rest, i remember when Mat tried the 991 Carrera 4S and did a 0-60 in 3.00 sec and the GTS have 30-40hp over the regular Carrera. Hell even a Carrera 4 with PDK is a sub 3.5sec car today.
Jaguar was impressive
@@hassyg4083 not reale
@@ImDembe 4 GTS has been times at sub 3 sec 0-60 by other CZcamsrs
Just love Jag anyway…😄😄😄
Also expecting more about Jag’s…👍🏼👍🏼👍🏼
Please do all BMW M car drag race..love to see how it goes
I’d take the F type . I love them so underrated
Underrated.... hmm....
They're total sleepers to all the people who've never run into one. I got my hands on a low-mile '16 AWD R about a year ago. I love taking it for rips on the back-roads and highways. It only really turns heads once you get on it and people realize it's no joke in both acceleration and one of the baddest stock exhaust notes on the planet.
The Jag getting the most love by far in the comments, the F-type has been my fave car since I can remember
This was hilarious dude 😂😂😂 Yanni dance had me rolling 😭
Dedication - Last Last by Burna boy😆😆😆anyways WHAT A RACE!👍
Congratulations!

F Type R still one of the my fovorite cars.
Great to see the Jaguar holding it's own, and for me the best looking of the bunch too.
Every single time im amaze about what a porsche can do. Fantastic engineering
I got the f-type S and Carrera. I want to get the 8 series it's beautiful car. honestly I do not give a crap about quarter mile. it's all about grace style sound quality build etc.
So happy to see the Ftype in the drag race 😁
Jaguar is the best roadster yet! Glad to recognize this again! ❤️🔥
After a very long time, it was wonderful to witness a Jaguar in a drag race!
Love how the jaguar performed, GREAT car!!!
Amazed by the stopping power of a non-performance brake Jag!
Drag races with Mat and Yianni are the funniest drag races ever!

It's gotten old fast.
@@jd32k No
@@sashoxxx yeah
The Jaaaaag sounds AMAZING!!!!!
The porche is fast, especially that pdk. I want that jag thought few more years to stack my chips and boom f-type R in the driveway
Not only is the 911 the quickest, it's also the only one that won't sunburn you with the check engine light.
Absolutely, my dream car is a 911. Beautiful, reliable, and they have longevity
F type is reliable too. Ask any f type owner.
I've heard the S can be problematic, but the R is bulletproof. No problems with mine in a year of ownership
@Jay-vo1wq as an F Type R owner, your comment made me laugh. I could certainly sense your tongue being firmly implanted in your cheek. 😅
@@kevinquartemont2313The new f type got 4.5 stars on reliability, and it’s on the front of the porsche

Yh way better than over priced Merc
@@rg6982 no
My Jag is being tinted and ceramic coated as we speak - can’t wait to pick it up!!
Bloody hell THIS IS THE BEST RACE EVER IN CARWOW
Actually very impressed with the Jaguar that would be my choice
Please bring the ftype in more , we love it .
The 911 in just every iteration never ceases to amaze...
Cabriolets are generally that Fabric top, convertibles are generally removable/retractable hard tops
I picked up a 2017 F-Type R l, which is the last year before they neutered the exhaust before it hits 3500rpm. it’s fast as hell and at least here in america, it’s rare and get a decent amount of attention. great cars for a great value
They didn’t neuter it much, I had a 2014 V8 S (rowdy in the best way) and then upgraded to 2017 AWD R (same as the 2014) now I have a 2019 R, because I wanted the LED headlights but not the facelift car, and while it does have less pops the exhaust sounds exactly the same …..and to be honest, I’ve come to like the more subtle 1-2 pops on overrun instead of the full on machine gun firing squad of the old one, which was fun at first ….then became a little obnoxious and artificial over time.
@@jameswillard1 I’m looking to get one of those myself. Do you know until which year the exhaust was still exciting? My understanding was that 2017-2019 is the best choice, since 2020 exhaust shouldn’t be fun anymore
@@marnoi8754 not sure about 2020? But the 2019 sounds absolutely as aggressive as my 14/17 sounded minus the never ending pops. Don’t get me wrong it still crackles and pops but not for 2 minutes every time you lift off the gas like a BMW with a burble tune. Now that I’ve lived with it I don’t think I could deal with the earlier cars artificial sound effects
That green on the BMW is just gorgeous.
And love to see.
Mercedes and Jaguar look so much better than poschre and bwm
you have to say. The performance of the Porsche is just insane. You have to think it has the least amount of power, no RWD but is the lightest. Im just in love whit this car.
The pre-facelift f-type coupe is one of the most beautiful and great sounding cars in modern times.
At the start of every race you hear the jag roaring away and it sounds amazing
Lol Yianni gets right back on his phone!
Love the Jag but damn 911s always so fast!
F Type amazing! I love it ! I hope F Type come back new one
I am really impressed with the jaguar keeping up that porsche
That jag is impressive...considering how it is older than all of the other cars
and.......the cheapest!
it has the most power, about 100 more than the rest... so nothing extraordinary. still got beat by a porsche
@@arnoldmbuthia2687yeah it has +/- 911 turbo horsepower and torque
Are you serious? This is the full blown type R. Top of the line for jaguar, while the others are with lesser models. It has 100 more hp than all the rest. And it still got destroyed pretty much.
How is that impressive? It's literally anti-impressive - it's humiliating! They tried to bias the race in favor of the BRIISH, but still failed miserably.
Unfortunately you can't really go anywhere in it because it's got no storage space whatsoever. The already tiny boot is mostly taken up with the roof mechanism. Guess you can put a small backpack in it.
As soon as I hit the jackpot, that test will be useful to me. Meanwhile,it’s good to dream
when did bmw start using turbos?? I thought N/A power was their thing?
Please do a race between all F-Type models
I'd love to see how the SL63 would do compared to the SL55 sometime.
Right, I think the SL63 would've won this one, which is closer on HP to the BMW and Jag
@@justtonee270 I dont think SL63 can beat Porsche, just few HP more that is, nothing else. Pretty bad crap for the money.
@David Ensinger The SL63 is better matched to these cars in terms of performance, that's the trim level they should've used. Car & Driver posted these #'s:
60 mph: 3.0 sec (3.1 sec by MotorTrend)
1/4-Mile: 11.2 sec @ 125 mph (11.3 @ 124mph by MotorTrend)
As you can see SL63 better suited for this match-up. Porsches are known for being notoriously quick so definitely would've been a gr8 deciding factor between the two. Probably would come down to which driver gets a better start off the line
@@justtonee270 if the sl63 was in this, then m8 comp would be the comparison plus a 911 turbo or turbo s. Both of those would destroy the sl63. Plus the m8comp costs 50k less than a comparable sl63
@george081982 haha yeah they would blow it away. Complete facts! They both also have over 600hp, BMW w/what 617hp and 640hp from the Turbo S. That's why I mentioned hp wise the SL63 fits better with these models compared in this video w/o going to the top tier big dogs. Mercedes-AMG currently doesn't have anything to compete in that category unless maybe you consider the Mercedes-AMG GT63 or GT63 E-Performance but those are 4 door fastbacks not a cabriolet. Maybe we have to wait until the new generation AMG GT 2 Dr and see what engine they stick that with 🤷🏾♂️
Yet again…..the 911 doesn’t seem to disappoint…..goated engineering

After watching this I'm loving my Jaguar even more 💯💯 (5.0 Supercharged Life)
Finally a F-type R. Was waiting for a long time for this
Finally the FTYPE making a comeback!
That jag is such an under appreciated car. Wonder how the m8 convertible would’ve faired.
I can't beat any of those but my full size 4w drive 2021 Roush F150 with a stage 2 whipple making 800hp runs a 12 in the 1/4...crazy to think I'd be right on their asses and from a roll, good chance I'd be right in the mix.
