Wealthy people buying fullsize posh sedans are unlikely to take their luxobarges to the drag strip but that hasn\u2019t stopped Carwow <\/em>from orchestrating a fight between the BMW 7 Series, Audi A8, and Mercedes S-Class. These aren\u2019t just any regular versions of the flagships as all three have plug-in hybrid powertrains based around six-cylinder gasoline engines.<\/p>\n

The M760e is the most powerful of the German trifecta, but also the heaviest. Its inline-six 3.0-liter turbocharged gasoline engine works with an electric motor to deliver a combined output of 571 hp and 800 Nm. The electrified muscle must move an all-wheel-drive stately sedan that weighs a hefty 2,525 kilograms.<\/p>\n

A long-wheelbase version, this Audi A8 has an equally complicated alphanumeric designation since it goes by the name of 60 TFSIe. It has a 3.0-liter V6 turbo and an e-motor good for a total system output of 462 hp and 700 Nm. That\u2019s substantially less than the plug-in hybrid M Performance model from Bavaria but the model carrying the Four Rings is much lighter, at 2,340 kg.<\/p>\n

As for the Mercedes S-Class, it too is the elongated variant with a name that combines letters with numbers: S580e. While its two rivals have all-wheel drive, this is a RWD vehicle with an inline-six and electric motor delivering 510 hp and 750 Nm. The three-pointed star mentions its electrified sedan tips the scales at 2,435 kg.<\/p>\n

The first of several drag races didn\u2019t involve using combustion engines as all three German luxury sedans relied solely on their electric motors to get going. It was a clear win for the S-Class to the quarter-mile mark while the M760e was barely ahead of the A8. As expected from an M Performance car, the 7 Series had its revenge in the traditional drag races with the ICE turned on. In the subsequent rolling races from 50 mph to the half-mile, it was an initial win for the Mercedes but the BMW won the second fight.<\/p>\n

The last test involved braking hard from 100 mph, and the S-Class came to a halt sooner than the other two cars.<\/p>\n
