Here's a line-up you weren't expecting to see today – Ferrari SF90 vs BMW M3 Touring !!

But obviously, this is no normal M3 Touring … It's been lent to us by G-Tech Motorworks and it has an absolutely insane power output! Let's take a better take a look at the stats.

The M3 Visiting usually produces 510hp and 650Nm from its 3-litre twin-turbo straight-six. Nevertheless, the automobile we have here comes with a totally built-engine and gearbox. As a result, it now produces an eye-watering 1000hp and 1100Nm of torque! This power is sent out to all 4 wheels by means of an 8-speed dual-clutch, and it tips the scales at 1,865 kg. The combined expense of the automobile and all the mods is ₤ 150,000.

As for the SF90, it's equipped with a 4-litre twin-turbo V8 as well as three electric motors! These combine to produce 1,000 hp and 800Nm, with power sent out to all 4 wheels via an 8-speed dual-clutch transmission. The vehicle weighs 1,770 kg, and it's valued at an eye-watering ₤ 550,000!

So what do you believe – can the heavily modded M3 nab it? Or will the SF90 sail to the win? There's only one method to discover … LET'S RACE!

Mat's option:

SF90 v Tuned Golf R v Tuned BMW M240i:
