Not too long ago we were witnessing internet history in the making. A stock BMW M5 was seen defeating a Ferrari FF on the drag strip. At the time, a lot of people were confused of how that could be possible but in the end it was all down to the pure numbers and the fact that the race had a rolling start.
Now, there’s another one of these showdowns going around the interwebs and we’re here to show it to you. This time, though, the M5 is no longer stock.
According to the video description, the Bimmer has a Burger Motosports Stage 1 tuned along with an AFE intake and runs without rear muffler. Therefore, the power output is estimated around 610 HP and 800 Nm (590 lb-ft) of torque. Yes, all of it going to the rear wheels through the 7-speed DCT gearbox.
On the other hand, the Ferrari rides stock. That means it has a 6.3-liter V12 engine under the bonnet making 660 HP and 683 Nm (504 lb-ft) of torque. It’s hooked up to a dual-clutch 7-speed transmission and will do 100 km/h (62 mph) in 3.7 seconds. That’s because it has all-wheel drive and it is actually the only Ferrari to do so.
Unfortunately, that AWD system also increased the weight that is now around 1,880 kg (4,144 lbs) which is roughly on par with the BMW. If the drag race would’ve been from a standstill, things would’ve been a lot closer but as they raced from a rolling start, the outcome is not surprising at all. At least not after that last episode, we mean....
