BMW only had one car worthy of the supercar title in its history and that's the M1. It was exclusive, had incredible performance and stunning looks. Its Procar version was even better and more exclusive. That's why, seeing it race another classic car, the Porsche 917 is a rare occasion these days.
The two cars were used in an action scene on the set of an extremely popular German TV series called "Alarm für Cobra 11 - Die Autobahnpolizei" that follows the "adventures" a two-man highway patrol unit.
The M1 Procar had the famous M88 straight 6-cylinder 3.5-liter engine, modified to deliver 470 HP at 9,000 RPM and was hooked up to a 5-speed ZF gearbox. The 917 Porsche on the other hand, had 4.5-liter flat 12-cylinder engine that delivered 620 HP. Various versions of the 917 were developed over the years with power outputs up to 1,580 BHP.
However, since both these cars are extremely rare and even the slightest scratch can cost incredible amounts of money, we're guessing that those 2 are actually replicas. Even so, they still look amazing and will haunt your dreams for a long time after the clip is finished.
