The new BMW M4 Competition he has just arrived, but — just right and right — he would have to face his main rivals, the Audi RS 5 and the Mercedes-AMG C 63 S, in an almost obligatory drag race (starting test).
The new M4 Competition comes with a six-cylinder in a twin-turbo line with 510 hp, the same power as the C 63 S, obtained from a much larger (4.0 l) and more vocal twin-turbo V8. The RS 5, on the other hand, has a deficit of 60 hp (450 hp in total) compared to the others, despite its twin-turbo V6 having the same 3.0 l capacity as the M4.
However, the RS 5 is the only one with four-wheel drive, which can give you an initial start-up advantage. In common they all have automatic transmissions, eight-speed in the BMW and Audi, and nine-speed in the Mercedes-AMG.
The drag race, carried out by the Throttle House channel, not only does a stopped start test, as a launched start test (to level them up, without the number of driving wheels or Launch Control interfering in the results).
How did the new BMW M4 Competition fare in this first confrontation with its usual rivals?
