BMW M5 Competition v Audi R8: DRAG RACE

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

What will win between a RWD Audi R8 V10 or an AWD BMW M5 Competition? Well, let’s find out!

Let’s start with a look at the stats… Starting with the R8, it’s powered by a 5.2-litre naturally-aspirated V10 that can deliver 570hp and 550Nm of torque. It powers the rear wheels only, and it tips the scales at 1,590kg. It’s expensive, mind, setting you back at least £132,000.

And then we have the BMW. It’s housing a 4.4-litre twin-turbo V8 under the bonnet, which is good for 625hp and 750Nm. As you’d expect, it’s heavier than R8, weighing in at 1,895kg. However, this one’s equipped with AWD, and this model is a fair bit cheaper than the Audi, costing £60,000.

So how will this play out - will the naturally-aspirated sports car snatch the win? There’s only one way to find out - LET’S RACE!

A rear wheel drive Audi and a four wheel drive BMW. Say that 10 years ago 😜

The M5 had an incredible reaction time that 1st race which was never dupicated in the 2 following races. That ended up being the difference. Despite that, the M5 just never ceases to amaze me, especially the CS.

That break test was a shocker. Well done M5.

At 3:53, The M5 is in the background but still looks the size of a yacht in comparison to the R8. Amazing how fast such a big sedan can haul its weight down the road.

R8 has an impressive launch considering it's a RWD. The M5 is equally impressive in that it really is as close to a supercar in performance with the everyday practicality of a family sedan. I'd love to have both in my garage. Great drag race!

I'd like to see the M5 CS take on the RWD Huracan in a similar drag race.

As an audi fanboy, watching a sort of road car having more HP than my favorite car is a bit nuts

You jumped the 2nd race. Actually, you guys usually jump all of them as you release the break asuming when the referee drops his hands, and no once you do see them drop. Anyway, thanks for the video.

If the drivers were switched and Matt drove the M5, I'm certain the M5 would have won the drag race. The reaction time of the M5 driver was just a fraction slower off the line.

M5 is just such a monster, hanging door to door with an all out 2 door supercar. Truly a wolf in "sheeps" clothing. 👏👏👏

I think the guy in the m5 had a bit slow reactions. But either way good races
