Who’s ready for a glorious M5 v GT-R drag race?!
We’ve got Mat lined up in an E39 M5, and he’s about to go head-to-head against an R34 GT-R Skyline! But how do they compare?
Starting with the M5, it’s powered by a 4.9-litre naturally-aspirated V8 that can deliver 400hp and 500Nm. It weighs in at 1,795kg and it drives the rear wheels only. If you’re looking to pick one up today, it’ll set you back around £25,000.
As for the GT-R, well that’ll cost you MUCH more, with one of those costing around £120,000! However, it may be more expensive, but it’s down on power, with its 2.6-litre twin-turbo straight-six able to deliver 280hp and 392Nm. It is lighter than the BMW, though, tipping the scales at 1,560kg.
So what do you think - will it be an easy victory for the BMW? Or could the GT-R snatch it? There’s only one way to find out - LET’S RACE!

@@GHXST21 R34 is a turbo car, fair comparison.

That R-34 is stuff of Dreams ❤️👌🏻

[@akseli_512]

These two vest represent the best era of cars i think. The e39 m5 is just the perfect car.🥰

[@kenssjblue1967]

Great race the r34 GTR is the best car I ever see, please do another race with that car 🎉

[@ukfalcon85]

120k for a datsun almost dropped my mug of tea.

[@alecxpro2071]

Finally. I've been asking for an E39 for years 😊👌

[@zamazizidlamini8625]

Hey Mat ever thought of a 7 series Generations drag race/ and S class generations drag race as well

[@MustafaDuymazz]

Wow what a epic race!!

[@bobby__custer]

I actually really enjoy the brake tests. It’s something nobody else does and is always interesting.

[@tomasjuras6557]

I really like that Sam don't give up easy. Great cars, awesome race!

[@fancyyahoo]

One of the best drag races ever, due to the choice of cars!

[@benlecluyse]

Awesome dragrace with very awesome cars !!

[@ilketama5982]

It was so nice to see 2 manual legends going head to head

[@reloadingdontshoot1]

Just shows how well engineered the GT-R really is. Even with AWD, it's down 100+hp, but that almost 400nm of torque is absolutely ridiculous. The E39 has got to be my favourite BMW and the M5 is just....gawwddddd. When the GT-R gets on the boost it's so close. Thanks for a very entertaining vid Matt!

[@ikaika7439]

Its not down 100 hp. Its down like 80 or 70hp.

[@TheNecavi]

The M5 never makes his 400HP. Most of them make like 350-380hp. Considering the GTR never makes 280, but for sure 300+hp tve gap is more like 40-70hp. Consider then, that the BMW has 200kg more

[@erdzso7036]

The 5 seater E39 with a naturally espirated engine is a work of art. Beautiful sound, beautiful body, great performance.

[@technics6215]

You should try GTR vs M3. M5 is totally different car. However its nice to see such race. Thank you!

[@SUCKPLAYER]

The M5 is a heavy limousine, a very comfortable car, if it wins with the GTR, the M3 will win all the more

[@Hydruss443]

The base model 1999 Skyline and base model 1998 5 series are actually about the same size. It’s just that most people don’t remember the ordinary Skyline is a big 4 door family car.

[@FOXeye95]

The M3 is around 340hp if not mystaken , maybe bit more (e46) and lighter than the M5 soooo... Rip GTR 🤣
