BMW M5 CS v Porsche 997 Turbo S: DRAG RACE

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

Which is quicker - a Porsche 911 997 Turbo S, or a BMW M5 CS? Well, it’s time to find out!

We’ve got Mat in the Porsche, and he’s facing off against this range-topping M5 to see which is the king over the quarter-mile!

So how do they compare? Starting with the Porsche, it’s packing a 3.8-litre twin-turbo flat-six that can put down 530hp & 700Nm of torque. It’s equipped with all-wheel drive, and it tips the scales at 1,585kg. If you’re looking to buy one of these today, it’ll cost you around £80,000.

In comparison, the M5 CS costs MUCH more, starting at £141,000! What’s more, its 4.4-litre twin-turbo V8 can put down more power than the Porsche, producing 635hp & 750Nm. However, it’s got one key issue compared to the Porsche - it weighs in at 1,825kg!

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

Porsche or BMW - which manufacturer makes the best performance cars!? VOTE below!

[julian]

Hey Carwow, it would be very cool if you could add the speed the cars have reached when crossing the finishline!

[atlanticjatt]

Hey Matt along with quarter mile times please also include their speeds. It's absolutely necessary thing in a race.

[kinggogeta]

I am a bmw fanboy but I really love how consistent the Porsche is after all the time. It just shows what kind of a quality German cars have

[bryan]

The CS is rapid but a 10 years old Porsche keeping up is insane

[jordanclarkson]

The 997 Turbo S did a 10.9 in the video with all the 911’s racing compared to 11.2 here and I’m fairly sure in the past the normal M5 Competition did something like an 11.1 I believe

On another note, the 997 Turbo and Turbo S really do hold their own for the age even compared with modern stuff. It’s insane how well Porsches make use of their power.

[gpb]

That Turbo S is such a beauty! Actually, even that CS too!

[carswith-k]

A 10 year old Porsche holding up its ground to the M5 CS just shows how good Porsches are.

[ronatif]

That new BMW M5 is a monster....and that Porsche also was quick, inspite of being old....🔥

[ivannarvaez]

That 997 is gorgeous, my favorite generation of 911. The M5 CS is amazing too and guaranteed future classic

[TonyKimtheamusementparkfan]

That 997 is older, but it still delivers :) As expected from Porsche ~~ And that M5 CS, we don't even need to talk about how much of a beast that car is from BMW~ Just the way that ZF 8-speed shifts in the BMW and how it can deliver that power is insane~

[Dodanek]

Hey! We all wanna an ultimate V10 drag race!
BMW M6, Audi RS6, Dodge Viper, Porsche Carrera GT, Lexus LFA, 1st gen of Audi R8 and Lamborghini Gallardo. And for fun would be great Touareg V10 TDI. 😂

Damn the 997 Turbo S is so beautiful
And the fact that it’s keeping up so good just shows how good it is still after so many years

[MetalJesusRocks]

I love the color of that Porsche! Gorgeous 😍

[каяеемнаме]

I'm still impressed by this porsche, the way it kept holding on is insanely nuts.

[machomb]

Always love a Porsche & Bmw drag race, both display superb engineering and best in class performance.

[Introgamer]

The 997.2 will forever be the prettiest 911 series. Timeless Design, so classy and modern. Gotta love it

[BRNDNSLVRA]

997.2 Turbo S is so visceral. Launching one for the first time scared me and that was after driving multiple 991's thinking those were fast. 997 feeling is unmatched.

[borntobirdie]

So the BMW M5 CS won every challenge… and I would still choose the Porsche every day of the week and twice on Sunday… 😍
