We can't dismiss an entire Motorsport because BMWs always lose to Audi on it.
I didn't dismiss it because it lost; I didn't even watch it because it was a dumb exercise. Yes, I acknowledge that such content attract eyeballs (and ad revenue), and yes it's a motorsport of sorts... for cars that are designed to compete in this realm. These are not.

Infact a showroom of engine, transmission, differential , chasis , weight distribution and their connections…
These are high-dollar, luxo GT's. 0-60 carries some bragging rights, but it's fairly low-brow for this crowd.
Well if this is true then why people pay +130k to buy plaid? Or why even Tesla spends lots of time and money to build a car "with absolute no luxurious " just to claim the quickest sedan?
Believe me good or bad , the next generation of high performance cars are participating in sub 2 seconds 0-60 war…
