Can I beat a Ferrari in an M3?

Thanks to everyone for helping to establish this race:

G80 M3

It's a concern with an amazing response … can a souped-up really challenge a ₤ 400k ?

We've got Mat lining up in a modified G80 M3 today. It's powered by a 3.0-litre twin-turbo straight-six which, from stock, puts out 510hp and 650Nm of torque. However, this one's had ₤ 8k of mods and is now running 750hp and 900Nm! Will it be able to put that extra power down, though?

On paper, it does not appear like a match for the Ferrari SF90. The Italian stallion is equipped not only with a 4.0-litre twin-turbo V8, however 3 electrical motors too! Combined, they provide 1,000 hp and 800Nm. Weighing in at 1,580 kg (mind, that's a "dry" weight without fluids) it's lighter than the too, which suggestions the scales at 1,780 kg.

Thankfully for us, drag races do not happen on paper. Which will take the win? There's just one way to discover … LET'S RACE!

    M3 runs strong strong especially X-Drive ones but we need to see 900-hp1000hp M3 run down the track! 😁

      for it to get 900-1000hp it’s a lot more money 😆

      1000hp is too much power, wheels will still be slipping in 3rd

      It needs only bigger intercooler and hybrid turbos, then it can hit 900hp

    The bmw did times that can rival the 911 turbo s, it really impressed me. I remember Carwow did a race with a 1000 horsepower m5 and it did terribly compared to this m3 with “only” 750

    1. Dog with Katana Avatar
      Dog with Katana

      becuz the m5 had too much power, which was too much for the “semi-slicks”

    2. FirstDragonSlayer Avatar
      FirstDragonSlayer

      @Dog with Katana semi slicks should be able to handle most of that power, the bigger issue is launch controls. You can see how much the car jumps from the Porsche’s perspective when it switches gears. It just can’t handle that much power.

      tell me you know nothing about grip without actually telling me you know nothing. HUGE difference in 750hp awd and 1000+ awd.

    Youve got to love that Ferrari, the BMW looks and performs nicely but something about the eco friendly hybrid ferrari that can just batter any supercar in a drag race really puts a smile on my face

      @Silli Milli Not really, quality and interior is much better on the BMW (they own RR). And you get all the stuff of a high level sedan + confort + daily + more potential out of that engine. But both awesome of course.

    The fact is that BMW can keep up with that sf90 at lunch for few seconds is shocking. Although the BMW is modified but still pretty impressive!

    Tuned cars are just increadible, youd think that an only 250hp increase in power would leave the BMW getting battered but tuned cars always seem to perform against all odd and pull out such unbelievable performances, they also sound amazing.

    1. John Jackson Avatar

      It’s because of the aggressive nature of the torque, helps disguise the massive weight of that m3

      ​@John Jacksonyep. The M3 weighed 1200kgs imo.

    I think it’s a good idea to always include the exhaust sound from inside the cabin too. They’re always too loud for the mics to pickup, but whenever it switches to cabin noise you always get a clearer picture

    Please race this M3 with a 911 Turbo S.. That would be really interesting.

      Already done and the M3 destroyed the Turbo S

    4. Rias Gremory Avatar
      Rias Gremory

      @GODLY NAME Me too but the thing is that mods for mods, the S58 engine (BMW) have far greater potential than the 992 Turbo S. So the M3 would always end up winning.

    5. Tudor Popa Avatar
      Tudor Popa

      @Rias Gremory 992 s engines are capable of a lot of hp. 991s from ESMotors were pushing 1600+hp . Even Jamie’s from OG gassed old 991.2 was pushing 1400hp. What superior capabilities u talking about? 🤣
      But no denying it s a great bang for buck the s58
