An interesting line up for another drag race includes our favorite BMW car – the M8 Gran Coupe Competition. With its charming design and superb performance, the M8 Gran Coupe tops our list of BMW’s current models. But the big question is will it be able to win a drag race against classic rivals? The featured video presents the M8 Gran Coupe Competition against three supercars in a drag race: RS6, E63 S, Panamera.
First, on this lineup, the 2020 Audi RS6 Avant which sits with F90 M5 and Mercedes-Benz E63 AMG S. Even with the Avant shape, the RS6 comes with a 4-liter twin-turbo V8 that produces a whopping 600 HP. Also, the excellence of the Quattro all-wheel-drive system makes the RS6 a significantly swift wagon. Its performance should then be enough to outrace its competitors. However, another supercar from the VAG group threatens to take the lead.
The Porsche Panamera Turbo S e-hybrid takes the center stage in this drag race. Even though it uses the same 4-liter V8 of the RS6, it gains extra power from its electric side. Therefore, this hybrid generates an epic 680 HP and 850 Nm of torque. However, because of the batteries and electric motor, it comes as the heaviest competitor. It weighs 2,400 kilos, a real heavy high-speed car.
Another sporty car, the Mercedes-AMG E63 S also hides the same 4-liter twin-turbo V8. Producing an impressive 612 HP and 850 Nm of torque, the E63 S perfectly lines up in this race. Moreover, it also has an all-wheel-drive to add in its astonishing performance.
Lastly, our favorite bimmer, the M8 Gran Coupe Competition. Under the hood, it hides a 4.4-liter twin-turbo V8 with 625 HP and 750 Nm of torque. And even though it falls short on its torque, it can still win this drag race. Let’s find out the result of the M8 Gran Coupe Competition against these supercars in this video.
