625hp BMW M5 v 620hp Audi R8 V10: DRAG RACE

Check out carwow.de: @carwowDeutschland
Which is quickest in a drag race - a BMW M5 Competition, or an Audi R8 V10 Performance Spyder?
Well, it’s time to find out, as Mat goes head-to-head with Daniel from the carwow German KZbin channel!
So let’s see how the two cars compare. Starting with the BMW, it’s powered by a 4.4-litre twin-turbo V8 that delivers 625hp and 750Nm of torque. Power is sent to all four wheels via an 8-speed automatic gearbox, and the car tips the scales at 1,865kg. When it comes to price, a new M5 Competition will set you back around £111,000.
Then alongside it we have the R8. It’s equipped with a 5.2-litre naturally-aspirated V10 which can put down 620hp and 580Nm. Power is sent to all four wheels via a 7-speed dual clutch automatic gearbox, and the car weighs in at 1,695kg. This car is a fair bit more expensive than the BMW, with this particular model costing around £180,000!
So the BMW has slightly more power, but will it edge it when they reach the quarter-mile? There’s only one way to find out… LET’S RACE!

It's wild to think that for the price of one R8, you could get an M5 for the weekdays and still have enough left for a decent weekend track car. Shows how each car targets a completely different type of enthusiast. M5 for the "Jack of all trades" and R8 for the "I want to feel like Iron Man" crowd.
