Can I beat an M2 in a car that costs HALF the price!?

Here’s a drag race you weren’t expecting to see… Until today!
We’ve got Mat in the all-new MG4 XPower, and it’s racing off against the all-new BMW M2!
Now on the face of it, you may think that the MG is set to get absolutely crushed! But trust us, this is no normal MG. You see, whereas the normal MG 4 is equipped with a single electric motor that can deliver 203hp, the XPower comes with dual motors and the ability to produce 435hp and 600Nm of torque! That’s enough to propel it to 60mph in just 3.8 seconds, and amazing, it only costs £36,500! It’s the heaviest car here, though, weighing in at around 1,800kg.
Then we have the BMW M2. It comes with the same 3-litre twin-turbo straight-six as found in the latest M3, but the output has been dialled down slightly, so it’ll produce 460hp and 550Nm of torque. This power is delivered to the rear wheels only, and it tips the scales at 1,725kg. If you’re looking to buy one new, it’ll set you back around £65,000.
So what do you think - can the MG snatch the win?! There’s only one way to find out… LET’S RACE!

[@re14437]

And raise the height

[@MsWouto]

@@re14437 true, but if they raised the height they would have to use a camera with a global shutter as a rolling shutter can give skewed results at these high speeds. Without that, is it actually better to stay low and keep it fair. (Sorry I'm a camera nerd)

Despite the ability to catch up with the MG, the usability of any performance in setting off or overtaking the car in front (real life scenarios) only needs about 3-4 seconds for day to day benefit. So the MG would see the benefit in almost all scenarios except legging it from the police on fast roads.

[@simonturner2867]

@@purwantiallan5089You’d be lucky to get sub 17 seconds quarter mile out of the ZR160, and the Metro 6R4 only had 250bhp in road going form. Both would get spanked by the M2 and the new MG

Apoplectic: INFORMAL overcome with anger; furious. "Mark was apoplectic with rage at the decision" New word of the day

Legendary episode!!! 😂

[@cynewulf1]

So, no-one going to mention that Mat jumped the start on the second drag race then? 🙂 EDIT: Oh my mistake, someone already did

[@purwantiallan5089]

He always jumped in 99 percent of those.

Actually, he didn't. Pause the video before Andy starts lowering his arms, then use the "." on your keyboard to fastforward frame by frame and you'll see that when Mat started moving, Andy's arms were already coming down.

mg is impressive especially at half of the price...

It’s electric 🤷‍♂️

@@LQNCv2 Excuses :)

[@TheSometimeAfter]

​@@LQNCv2there are plenty of electric cars that aren't as fast, so just saying "it's electric" is kind of worthless.

[@CERNIUM]

Put both on a track....check again 😂 or a curvy road to the top of a mountain.....good bye all electric

[@ewadge]

@@CERNIUMno need to guess. Chris Harris put a Tesla Model 3 performance against an Alfa Romeo Giulia Quadrifoglio on a track and the Tesla just beat it. Now, there are a bunch of other internal combustion cars which would beat the Tesla and there are very few electric sport sedans but dismiss EVs at your peril. They are coming.
