The BMW M5 CS sits at the pinnacle of the 5-Series lineup, offering plenty of interior space and luxury along with bucketloads of power and torque. But will it hold its own against a decade-old Porsche 911 Turbo S on the drag strip? Carwow just found it out.
Powering the BMW is a 4.4-liter twin-turbo V8 rated at 635 PS (626 hp / 467 kW) and 750 Nm (553 lb-ft) of torque. An eight-speed automatic transmission drives all four wheels.
The Porsche is also AWD, but it lags behind in terms of paper specs with only 530 PS (523 hp / 390 kW) and 700 Nm (516 lb-ft) of torque coming out of its 3.8-liter flat-six engine.
Where the German car reigns supreme is curb weight: at 1,585 kg (3,495 lbs), it is fat-shaming the M5 with its 1,825 kg (4,025 lbs) to hell and back.
So, which one is your bet on? Watch the video and see whether your guess was correct! In case you need an incentive, consider that the winner crossed the finish line in 11.1 seconds, while the loser did it in 11.2 seconds.
