1000hp BMW G80 M3 Reviewed On The Top Gear Test Track | 4K

[@mitchsanderson8206]

I follow R44 and TW socials. They’ve had 2.3secs on a drag strip. Crazy!

[@blagovestzaimov3455]

i'm very impressed. Decade and a half ago, Bugatti Veyron was a benchmark for power. Today, you can drive this as a daily and beat supercars... What a times.

[@TheElmoProject75]

Plus you won’t look like a rich muppet too!!

[@jahudini]

Supercars are officially DEAD. I will not spend a dime on a Lamborghini, when i can make my daily G80 M3 do this with extra 30k.

[@chaseteter]

OEMs are better than aftermarket tuners. The gap is narrowed but it’s still substantial. A three series plus a bunch of upgrades will match a hyper car on the dyno but that’s about it. It’s great if it’s all you can afford but no one is cross shopping a car like this with one making 1k hp stock. Let’s be real. I can’t afford a hyper car so I boosted mine to the sky so I get the appeal.

[@xIcarus227]

@@jahudini you're kidding yourself if you're seriously suggesting supercars don't have a market anymore. The noise and the looks will always be on another level, and while they're expensive they'll retain their value very well. Reliability with such tuned cars is also a major concern whereas a V10 Lambo is proven.

[@blagovestzaimov3455]

@@chaseteter , there always will be a place for supercars and hypercars. If i have money for hypercar, i'm getting one, but like you said, boosting works for this one.I'm not even a fan of 1/4 mile races.

The G80 M3 sitting that perfectly low with carbon bits is so beautiful and much better looking than the M4. I feel the rear has way more structure in design that flows with the rest of the car. You guys can hate on that grill...i love the look of the G80 M3 when done this way ❤️

[@them60productionm6zero2]

[@FreshlySnipes]

Agreed. The M3 looks waaaay better than the M4. The design just works with the 4 doors. The rear haunches and wider rear fenders are great.

[@cwx8]

The rear structure uses the 3 series door instead of actually modeling the fender into it. Resulting in an awkward rear wheel arch that terminates abruptly at the door.

[@andrewwalsh4662]

Actually, power to weight comes into play at these levels. A Plaid is much heavier.

[@_shreyash_anand]

Acceleration is similar actually. Alex said it did 60 in 2.6 and quarter mile in 9.8, so it is losing half a second in both, which is all in the launch. The extra weight of the Model S will always give it way more traction. That means this thing is doing well north of 150 through the quarter, and sounding great while doing it. Around a lap though, this will be way quicker

[@Counz223]

9.8 1/4 mile time isn't anything impressive, stock motor/turbo m3's are running faster than that with a downpipe/tune and ethanol. This is just like the evolve m4, 1000hp but running high 9's, is the air density in uk so poor? Why are these cars so slow there?

[@Triptisim]

It looks like it’s on Cup2s at best which are not in any world going to hook properly from a dig with 1000hp, even with AWD. If they did run the official timed 1/4mi with these on the car that’s probably why, I think there’s a shot in the vid somewhere showing the thing just spinning all 4 tires on launch. I would think it needs some properly set up wheels and actual aired down and warmed up drag slicks (Hoosiers/MTs) to have any chance at dead hooking from the dig on a standing 1/4, even with a properly prepped surface. I don’t think the Europeans have the straight line stuff down as well as we do in NA, lol.
