BMW M3 v Porsche 911: DRAG RACE

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

It’s time for a BMW M3 vs Porsche 911 Carrera drag race!

These are two of the best performance cars you can buy for under £90,000. The question is, should you go all-out sports car with the 911, or pick the more family-friendly M3?

Starting with the 911, you’ll find a 3-litre flat-six engine under the bonnet that can deliver 385hp and 450Nm. It weighs in at 1,505kg and it’s RWD.

As for the M3, it’s powered by a 3-litre straight-six twin-turbo that puts down 510hp and 650Nm. So it’s up on power compared to the Porsche, but it’s also up on weight, tipping the scales at 1,730kg. And just like the 911, it’s RWD.

So what do you think - will the weight difference power the 911 to victory? There’s only one way to find out - LET’S RACE!

The 911 is insane even with the entry-level model!!

[jamesthefirst_]

it's crazy how the entry level Porsche does a 11.7 quarter mile and has an almost 300km/h top speed. unbelievable

[DanielSadjadian]

Gotta love Porsche, it's amazing what performance you get from a base 911 (or any other base Porsche model).

[karimsadredini]

Never joke with a rear mounted engine sports car named Porsche 911 no matter whatsoever trim and spec! 911 is the icon and benchmark of sports cars. Period.

[MichaelWoloszynowicz]

Every carwow video that features a 911 tells me that I need a 911. Help me carwow, my wife is going to kill me when I buy a 911.

[mariowhyte]

911's are simply just mental!!! I love them!!! From the "base" to the top top spec!!! Help me, Carwow, to get a 911!!!

Porsche is always on another level, it’s an engineering pinnacle

[andreaskaraolis]

Hey carwow. We haven't seen the porsche 911 turbo s in a while and we miss it. Make it happen

[Sustainable_IN]

I love simple basic entry level 911 even wheel design for this car. Thanks for this drag.

[vindevhunta]

2 of my favorite cars...look how good a base 911 is....legendary

[ragingdawn]

I remember Carwow’s first drag drag races now look how much they have grown 😎

[bobbyv]

Make sense since the Porsche is great RWD and it’s rear-engined.

[nathanb]

I thought I had deja vu when I saw the thumbnail xD. Next, could you do a drag race between this M3, an M550i, and the new I4? :)

[karldallinger]

I think people have taken this "entry/base model" too seriously. It's still a porsche 911 so it's a serious motor. It's like an entry level ferarri or lambo. Obviously it's going to be fast. But both amazing cars in their own ways

[robertocarrera]

That 911 is so quick for "only" 380hp, great performance.

[cecold]

ZF 8HP is a work of art. That transmission does anything.
Comfort? SURE I HAVE A TC! Performance? YEAH I CAN LOCK IT REAL QUICK! PDK? I can deal with that!
Amazing piece of work and it is like 12-13 years old tech right now? Insane!

[amessad]

That M3 is a beast!.... xdrive M3 will be a monster!
