Ferrari 812 v BMW M5 CS: DRAG RACE

.............................................................

Here we go!! Ferrari 812 Superfast vs… BMW M5 CS?! Think this one sounds unfair? Well trust us, it’s going to be closer than you think…

So let’s check out their stats. Starting with the BMW, this is the top of the range model, the M5 CS. It’s housing a 4.4-litre twin-turbo V8 under the bonnet that’s good for 635hp and 750Nm of torque. It’s equipped with four-wheel drive along with launch control, and it tips the scales at 1825kg.

Then we have the Ferrari, which is just slightly lighter, weighing 1,800kg. But whereas it’s down on weight, it’s way up on power, with a 6.5-litre naturally-aspirated V12 delivering 800hp & 720Nm of torque!! It’s got one key disadvantage compared to the BMW, though. It’s only equipped with rear-wheel drive!

So what do you think - could this supercar be eclipsed by a saloon?! There’s only one way to find out… LET’S RACE!

Supercar or super saloon - which would you choose?

Love the M5 cs but a front engine V12 with 800hp with no turbos, no supercharger, no hybrid systems, it's just madness ! 🔥

[mrnicktoyou]

800hp from a naturally aspirated engine is insane.

[ameba]

Man you cannot beat the sound of a naturally aspirated V12

[Alex-stfn]

Really impressed with the M5, for me it’s a beast, and also if you tune it and take off the rev limiter and put a serious exhaust i think it sound more aggresive.

[porkster]

You have to be impressed with the M5. Off the line and brake tests. And it’s a 4 door saloon. Best M5 ever.

The 812 is a beast from another world. Coming from a bmw fan
I didn't expect the 812 to teleport away in the rolling race that was disrespectful to the m5 cs 😂

[krenarfetoshi]

The M5 CS is just insanely quick, especially off the line ! 😳

[chekdis]

If a RWD car can beat you at the finish line from a dig, it will definitely destroy you in a rolling race, that Ferrari is insane. Great race.

That 812 is a beast, the way it pulled back in the drag was amazing. By the way I'm a BMW fan and loved seeing the M5cs take on such a big engine car.

[sallas]

I’m more impressed about how BMW managed to make a 4 door saloon with 4 wheel drive to be only 25kg’s heavier than a 2 door super car. 🤯

[nickfox]

That was a great race, the M5 CS is a very impressive saloon car

[tonycastle]

finally a race with the 812!!! we need more race of the 812 mat!!! plese!! beautiful race!!!

[Shay-wrss]

We need more late night drag races. Cars look way cooler with their lights on.

[bruhsbro]

I've said this before and I'll say it again, the 812 Superfast is one of the best sounding cars stock

Edit: Ok, mb lads the LFA, CGT and the Murcielago SV are also up there with this

[solaimanelaissaoui]

Two of my favourite brands. Love how quick the M5 CS but that Ferrari is just porno. Amazing!

[surengounden]

That M5 is epic. The brake test got me going. Well done BMW.

[ptamas]

I don't know what engineers doing in Munchen... the M5 with this "god-like" launch control is amazing. M5 is a perfect balance in the family and daily fun car.

[tsaki_titan]

The BMW M5 is the best sedan ever made, sounds good, looks good and sounds fucking good with the M performance exhaust.

[na_inline]

I’m impressed with the 812 it did pretty well considering it’s a N/A Rwd V12
