It's a question with an exciting answer... can a souped-up BMW M3 really challenge a £400k Ferrari SF90?

We’ve got Mat lining up in a modified G80 M3 today. It’s powered by a 3.0-litre twin-turbo straight-six which, from stock, puts out 510hp and 650Nm of torque. However, this one’s had £8k of mods and is now running 750hp and 900Nm! Will it be able to put that extra power down, though?

On paper, it doesn't look like a match for the Ferrari SF90. The Italian stallion is equipped not only with a 4.0-litre twin-turbo V8, but three electric motors too! Combined, they deliver 1,000hp and 800Nm. Weighing in at 1,580kg (mind, that’s a “dry” weight without fluids) it’s lighter than the BMW too, which tips the scales at 1,780kg.

Fortunately for us, drag races don't happen on paper. Which will take the win? There’s only one way to find out… LET’S RACE!

That was fun. The sound clip on the exhaust test was hilarious. Sounded totally different from stock on the outside, and inside it was all ASD.

That Mexico Blue paint is gorgeous. Nearly perfect stance, too.

Mildly modified G80 xDrive is the enthusiast deal of the moment. 10.1-second quarter mile is impressive for something that close to stock.

That was funny.

The sad part is, they revved the Ferrari and I thought "that sounds a bit sh!t". Then they revved the G80 and I thought "their microphone SUCKS". If you'd never heard a G80 before and that was your first introduction, you'd think that they were awful.

Get some better equipment CarWow!

Impressive showing by the G80. Those SF90's are FAST.

To be fair, neither of those cars sound particularly good IRL.

Yeah, a microphone will help🤣. They sound a little better than the S55 but still sound like dog shit for an 80k car

Exactly. Such a big channel and such a bad microphone.

Agreed.

Agreed, but it's still a very poor representation even compared to other YouTube clips.

I know mic-ing exhausts is hard. But man, even small channels do it better.
