Watch this Week's Unlimited 500 Racing Showdown

If you are in the mood for high-horsepower duels, we have a little something for you from this week's Unlimited 500 drag race events in Moscow.

We'll get straight to the point and introduce you to the competitors starting with the first video in which we see a monstrous Chrysler 300C SRT8 with a 950hp 7.0-liter supercharged V8 (NOS) taking on a Cadillac CTS-V sporting a stock 556hp supercharged V8 and then a BMW M6 ESS VT3 cranking out 900-ponies.

Mega Gallery with More than 180 HQ Photos of 2013 BMW M6 Coupe and Convertible

Just as the new 2013 M6 Coupe and Convertible models begin to arrive in European and North American (for now only the cabriolet as the coupe will follow later in the summer) dealerships, BMW dropped a fresh gallery of high-resolution images detailing the two models from all sorts of angles both inside and out.

The pride and joy of the third generation F12/F13 6-Series range is offered for the first time in the history of the model with a turbocharged V8 engine, as the first M6 sported a naturally aspirated 3.5-liter inline-six with 282hp (286PS) in EU-spec, and the second iteration a naturally aspirated 5.0-liter V10 churning out 500hp (507PS).

Following the presentation of the new generation M6 Coupe and Convertible models earlier this year, BMW has decided to replace the MotoGP 1 Series M Coupé safety car with a brand new M6 Coupé from mid-season on.
