Drag races between high-powered cars happen all the time, all around the world. But if it weren’t for the invention of the internet, we wouldn’t be able to see most of the more spectacular races. Case-in-point, this video of a Mercedes-AMG GT S taking on a Bugatti Veyron, uploaded by GTBOARD.com Oct. 21.
