BMW M5 Touring v Panamera Turbo v RS6 Perf: DRAG RACE

Who will win a dragster race between an Audi C-Roupie Performance, a Porsche Panamera Turbo, this hybrid and a BMW M5 Touring? Well, we're going to find out, because I'm going to make them run on a beautiful quarter of a mile. I'm Matt Watson, and you're watching CarWahoo. Let me tell you about this C-Roupie. We have a 4-liter V8 biturbo dragging the four wheels via an 8-speed automatic gearbox with launch control. So we have 630 horsepower, 850 meters of torque and this thing weighs 2.1 tons. Re-sale price? $ 0.00. Let's discover the Porsche by its driver. Rory, tell me about your Porsche. Hi Matt. Yes, my Porsche is the Panamera Turbo, this hybrid, so it's a bit of the top of the top. It has the most power here. I think it develops 782 horsepower, the same torque as the BMW over there. So, I have 1000 Nm. I think I'm a little lighter than the BMW of about 100 kilos, but I'm obviously a lot heavier than you. So, all well weighed, I think I should probably win. So, what is the weight of your car? So, my car weighs about 2360 kilos. What is the capacity of the battery of the BMW and Porsche? The Porsche Panamera Turbo, this hybrid, has a battery of 25.9 kWh. And the BMW Hybrid has a battery of 18.66 kW. So, the Porsche has a bigger battery but it weighs 100 kilos less. I know. What are these laws of physics? Okay, what is the price of the Porsche? However, I have the feeling that it will be much more expensive. Yeah, so, that's what I can't really understand. So, this car is starting at $175,000. The BMW is starting at $117,000. And when yours was on sale, which was only sold last year, it was $120,000. But the one I'm sitting in here, this Panamera, is $195,000. Better to win. Let's move on to the BMW. So, go ahead, Tommy. Give us some statistics. So, the BMW M5 Touring, in which I am today, has 727 horsepower and 1,000 new torque. 8-speed automatic gearbox, 4.4-liter twin-turbo V8, 4-wheel drive, and it weighs 2.5 tons. And as Roy already said, it costs from 17,000 pounds, which, when you think of all the gadgets on board, is correct, isn't it? This price. The price is not bad. It will be an interesting race. Obviously, the Panamera has a PDK gearbox. You have a ZF8 gearbox, and I also have a ZF8 gearbox, which is not the fastest gearbox in the world. So, I think it's at the speed changes level that the Panamera will probably beat us. Oh, my friend. I'm going to tell you, you came back strong with the facts of a car enthusiast. Well done, Tommy. Are you going to come back strong in the race or are you just going to take the lead? We'll find out in a moment. But before that, we're going to do the usual sound check of the car. So I'm going to run my Audi and introduce you to the famous Audi's soft limiter. They love soft limiters at Audi. He started to run it. The windows are down, guys. The windows are down. Is there something? Nothing. Yeah, there you go. I don't hear it. Go ahead, do yours, Rory. Do I have to do the launch control? Yeah, it's not a double clutch launch control. You can do it. And so, let's make a victory for the BMW, Tommy. 1 to 0 for the BMW.

It's much faster than that. Damn. Here are your additional 55,000 dollars. Oh, oh, I'm coming back to Audi. This BMW is coming back. I'm coming back to Audi. I had a good launch. It's an all-wheel drive Quattro. Good launch, but this Porsche just passed by. Yeah, it looks like that's where the money is, doesn't it? It was so much faster. There weren't many races, but I didn't really see who won between the Audi and the BMW at the end. It was clearly the Audi, but the BMW started to reduce the gap, didn't it? Yeah, she started doing it. I think we all had a pretty good launch this time as well. So I don't know how that's going to change. Should we try again? Well, let's start again. Do you like the color of the Panamera, Matt? Yeah, it's beautiful, isn't it? It's pretty interesting. We have beautiful colored cars to change. Normally, people who buy these cars, they put them in black or silver. But we have blue, bronze and red. That's a good sign. 3, 2, 1. Oh, Tommy made a good start. I made a good start. Oh my God, this Porsche is fast. And the Porsche is just too fast. It just beat me at the start, but you can't do anything about it. You struggled again, Tommy. I thought I left the line at the same time as everyone else. It was just slow. There's a trick to launch them because yes, you managed to start at about the same time as us. And I'm going to ask Nick to drive it because he knows a technique. You actually have to keep the boost for as short a period of time as possible. Oh, you see, I didn't know that. Let's see if I'm right because Nick adopted this car. I'm just going to let him race. Okay. 5 minutes later. So, Nick, I'm right, aren't I? Thinking that you managed to understand. You're like the whisperer of the BMW M5, aren't you? Yeah, yeah. And them? And I can do all this while I've never driven this car in my life. So, we'll see how it goes. Oh, it wasn't you. Who? It must have been Sam. Where is Sam when you need him? I don't know. I guess I'm just more involved in this role. Okay, Tommy. I may have to do it all over again. I'm just... It's... It's embarrassing for me. Let's just... Let's just see how it goes. Don't keep the boost for too long. I feel like it's counterproductive because I tried the second time and it didn't work. I don't know if that's the case now. I'm completely lost. 3, 2, 1. Oh, he did it. Oh, it's close. Come on. Hello. No, he's coming back. Yes. I forgot the Porsche. She's gone. There you go. I love the Panamera's aileron. It distracted me. Yes, you're the BMW Whisperer. Tommy didn't beat you, did he? No, he didn't. Did you beat me? Oh, yeah. Yeah, definitely. Oh, no. I don't think this car will go any faster. We all started about the same time. I don't know. Let's say that on the line. I think you might have done it. Let's just say it's the end of the race. Let's do it. Yeah, I'm fine. I had completely forgotten the Porsche. You weren't even in the race. You were in a previous race. So what happened exactly? Well, the Porsche won. It covered the quarter mile in 10.8 seconds. The arrival picture reveals that the BMW just beat the Audi. Because the two cars crossed the line in 11.4 seconds. Uh, Tommy, glad to see you again. It's good to be back. How do you feel? It's the same as I did before. To start well, you have to pre-start it. So, prepare it, put it in launch mode, stop, let the starter start, then go back to launch mode. And there, it blocks the car. Yeah, I don't think we'll leave it on boost for very long. It's just a fraction of a second. Like, go ahead. Otherwise, it reduces the boost a bit. Anyway, what we're going to do now is switch to normal driving mode. So, I think if you press your M1 button, it will just switch to comfort mode or something. Uh, do the same, Rory. Just switch to comfort mode. I switch to comfort mode. Automatic mode for the gearboxes. And then we're going to drive from 50 mph on the half mile. I'm going to call it. Okay. 3, 2, 1, let's go. The hybrid took off. Oh my God, it's fast. Oh, here we go. Why doesn't this Porsche catch up with the BMW? Come on, Porsche. Oh my God. What's going on? I can't believe I'm losing. I'm not getting hit by the Porsche. What's going on? Rory, it was almost as if you had forgotten to race. Yeah, I mean, we were pretty close to getting out of it. But then, it really left me for dead. I wonder if in hybrid mode we have less power available than if I was in sport mode. More because this BMW beat me pretty easily. I know. I thought you were going to drop me completely. But hey, she dropped me a little. But not terribly. Obviously, the hybrid took off with electric power. But that wasn't quite what I was expecting. Let's switch to full sport mode and manual mode for the gearbox. Okay. Let's start the third gear from 80 mph. Let's go. 3, 2, 1, let's go. Where's the power? Oh, this car is really fast. Yeah, let's go. Come on. Now, the Porsche is moving forward. And I have the impression that it's going to overtake me. Oh, hi, Porsche. Oh, come on, come on, come on. It was so interesting. Once again, you both ran, and I thought the Porsche was going to crush the BMW. But it was tight, wasn't it? Yeah. Once again, the BMW went first and I caught up with it faster and I overtook it. I really had all my power available of 782 horsepower at that moment and I won. But these cars are actually pretty close in the race. Yeah. Because Tommy in the dragster race, it wasn't tight at all. I wonder if it's due to the Porsche's gearbox or if the Porsches are just gifted at finding traction. If anyone wants to give their opinion on this, it would be great. I didn't hear anything you said. It was just a bunch of bullshit to tell you the truth, Tommy. Did you get the impression that it was fast? Yeah, it looks fast. I'm not sure, but I was wondering what was the state of charge of the Porsche. Oh, yeah. I have a full battery because, of course, it recharges by itself as it goes. So, yeah, it's definitely as good as possible. I thought it was going to walk on me like I thought it would with the gearbox, with the battery, with the weight. I thought it was going to tear, but you ended up overtaking me. Do you know what you should do both? You should do a dragster race, only electric. Why not? At the moment, we have a braking test from 100 miles per hour. When we reach the line, full emergency stop. The car that stops on the shortest distance wins. If you prefer to watch another dragster race with the new BMW M5, click on the contextual banner or scan the QR code on the screen now. Otherwise, stay here for the brake test. Uh, I didn't expect that. Porsches usually win braking tests, but Audi wins. One simple victory for Audi. BMW did better than I thought. I think it's a weight that helped you a lot. I don't really know what happened here. This Porsche does everything we don't expect it to do today. It's just confusing. It's related to the color. We're probably not done yet, because you only have to do your electric dragster race. Are you up for it? Let's go. You are not allowed to leave your petrol engine running. I'm just going to drive on the side. Are you okay? Just to see what's going on. 3, 2, 1. Hey, cheater. Come on. No, no. It is clear that the electric motor group of this car is just more efficient, more powerful. Look at that, look at that. He's drinking water. I drank all along the track. So, yours was easier to maintain in electric mode only. And Rory, yours was clearly not. Yeah, you have to put it on a flag and then get the little blue bars like a game. It's much harder than doing a normal dragster race. Don't say that. Doing a dragster race requires a lot of talent. Rory, remember that. Okay, sorry. Yeah, we spent hours with the race driver Sam to get there today. Listen, Tommy. Thank you so much for coming and driving the BMW. And driving it so well. Especially in electric mode only. I love your work. Anytime. Listen, thank you so much for watching the video. If you want more videos, click on the windows of the video.
