New 911 Turbo S Camera Car Captures BMW M8 Vs Custom GT-R Drag Race


The new Porsche 911 Turbo S is a fast car – there is no second left. We’ve seen it run a race track and almost hit a McLaren 720S, while a previous drag race showed us that it can eat the British supercar in a straight line.

In fact, the 911 Turbo is so fast, it was like a camera car in this drag race. The battle is between a BMW M8 Competition and a Nissan GT-R showered with fancy Liberty Walk body kits. We’ve seen this build before, although this GT-R below was not exactly what you would see in the video above.

The BMW M8 competition is of course powered by a 4.4-liter twin-turbo V8 that produces 616 horsepower (459 kilowatts) and 553 pound-feet (750 Newton-meters) of torque. It is the heaviest of the three at 4,299 pounds (1,950 kilograms).

The Liberty Walk Nissan GT-R, which runs on semi-slicks, is powered by a custom (probably) 3.8-liter twin-turbo V6 that produces 690 hp (515 kW) and 612 lb-ft (830 Nm) of pull produces. Surprisingly, it is not the heaviest of the three at 3,850 kg.

Of course, the fastest and fastest of the three – based on this drag race – was the 911 Turbo S. Its 3.8-liter turbocharged flat-six churns from 641 hp (478 kW) and 590 lb-ft (800 Nm) of turn. It tips the scales only at 1,650 kg (1,650 kg).

The 911 Turbo S is the clear winner of these multiple rounds of drag racing, but what about the GT-R and the M8? Watch the video above and let us know your thoughts in the comments section below.
