[Video] 2015 BMW 760Li vs 2020 760Li Drag Race

While we face the devastating impact of the pandemic, the BMW fans may also receive one regarding the M760Li model. According to BMW, this model’s 6.6-litre twin-turbo V12 engine will also retire along with it. Last July was the last chance for anyone who wants a V12-powered 7 Series.

But many of you don’t know that BMW had another model on offer for many years even before the latest 7 Series range had its V12 masterpiece. This includes the F01 model range, known as the forefather of the engine found under the BMW M760Li’s hood. the 2009 760Li gains a 6-litre N74 twin-turbo mill. Its power is capable of producing 544 horsepower and 750 Nm of torque should it be necessary.

The older F01 was a rear-wheel drive car. It’s different from the more current model, thus showing how it’s more tricky at times to put that large amount of power down. Luckily, its eight-speed automatic gearbox does a great job given its configuration. In the 760Li, BMW claims that the zero to 100 km/h sprint should take 4.6 seconds. However, this can only be possible if the driver manages to take proper traction out of its rear tires.

Nevertheless, the bigger 6.6-litre twin-turbo engine of the M760Li still makes it a distinct beast altogether. This engine allows it to produce over 600 horsepower. Its facelifted model, however, gains a toned down 585 horsepower. Despite this, the xDrive all-wheel drive comes standard thereby making it sill the fastest model ever with the BMW badge. In this video, we can see how the F01 performs on a drag race with the 2020 BMW 760Li.
