Top Speed

Seven clips, seven cars, every caption says top speed. Two also name a launch and two name acceleration, so a few of these runs start from a standstill. One caption names E85, the only fuel or part the captions mention. The E92 M3 is the one naturally aspirated car in the set: its S65 V8 has eight individual throttle bodies and an 8,300 rpm redline. The A45 is usually the 415 hp S, and its particulate filter on European cars strongly mutes the exhaust. The M8 sends 592 hp through a torque-converter automatic and M xDrive.
