The 458 Italia seems to be an easy target for BMWs these days. After seeing what a stock M6 did to a Ferrari a couple of days ago, it's time to watch it's bigger brother M5 take a shot at it.
Although the video is kind of shady, you can see the 458's distinctive headlights in the M5's rearview mirror. Also, judging by the speed of the Bimmer it's safe to say that the Ferrari driver really went for it.
The 458 Italia has a 4.5-liter V8 that produces 570 HP and 398 lb-ft (540 Nm) of torque, all of which is transferred to the rear axles through a 7-speed dual-clutch gearbox. The F10 M5 on the other hand has a 4.4-liter V8 turbocharged engine with 560 HP and 501 lb-ft (680 Nm) of torque.
Even though the numbers are pretty close for the stock cars, Ferrari's superior coefficient and lighter construction, usually pushes it ahead of cars like the considerably heavier M5.
However, the one in the video was tuned by German company PP-Performance. There's no official info, but according to the video uploader the car we're looking at has 700 HP and underwent the so-called ViP treatment.
Judging by other videos posted on Youtube, showing F10 M5s racing 458s, we tend to believe the uploader.
