Drag Rage: 2018 Porsche Panamera Turbo Races Tuned BMW M4

Well, if the said Bimmer had been taken down the aftermarket path, the M car might just give you a hard time. Then again, you won't find out what happens until you get to the other end of the asphalt strip under your wheels.

And we're here to deliver just such a brawl, one that saw the 550 hp incarnation of the Panny duking it out with a current-generation M4 that had been touched by AK Tuning.

We're not aware of the actual goodies received by the twin-turbo 3.0-liter straight-six of the motor. Nevertheless, the YouTuber behind the piece of footage documenting the sprinting fight mentions that the M4 now packs 490 hp.

Of course, if the two would go for a standing start, the all-paw nature of the Panamera would give the Porscha a serious edge. Nevertheless, the German athletes went for a rolling stunt, with the BMW M4 thus no longer affected by its rear-wheel-drive nature. And since the two slabs of Germany duked it out on an airfield, the drivers had all the space they needed.

The BMW was used as the camera car and we're thrilled with the choice. And that's because, by now, we're uber-familiar with the lines of the M4, but we're still thirsty for the styling cues of the long-roof Porsche.

Returning to the matter we discussed in the intro, Panamera drivers will still need to roll up their sleeves and go for a drive, since one can never put too much trust into a drag race involving a tuned machine.
