GT C Roadster, R8 Spyder, i8 Roadster, 570S Spider drag race - video

In a new video clip posted on YouTube, Mat Watson from the UK's carwow pits four of Europe's fastest convertibles against each other in a drag race – the Mercedes-AMG GT C Roadster, Audi R8 Spyder, BMW i8 Roadster, and the McLaren 570S Spider. Each competitor has a different approach with regards to powertrain: the Mercedes and McLaren both use twin-turbocharged V8s, the Audi a naturally-aspirated V10, while the BMW pairs a three-cylinder turbo petrol engine with an electric motor.
