By: CAR magazine

Just how quick is the new Porsche 911 Carrera 4S in a straight line? Well, the folks over at CarWow in the United Kingdom put Zuffenhausen’s sportscar to the test against the V10-powered Audi R8 Performance, the V8-powered BMW M850i xDrive coupé and the V6-powered Nissan GT-R Nismo.

As a reminder, the 992-generation 911 Carrera 4S employs a turbocharged 3,0-litre flat-six engine worth 331 kW. All four contenders are all-wheel drive with automatic transmissions, and each one has a launch control function, too.
