Carwow put the G90 up against the F90 and F10 in a drag race.

It’s time for a BMW M5 head-to-head!

We’ve got Mat in the all-new BMW M5, and he’s going up against the two previous generations - the F90 and F10! The all-new G90 has come under a bit of criticism for its weight, but will that prove decisive? Let’s take a closer look at the stats.

Starting with the new G90, it’s powered by a 4.4-litre twin-turbo V8 coupled with an electric motor. These combine to produce an incredible 727hp and 1000Nm, and this power is sent to all four wheels via an 8-speed automatic gearbox. It tips the scales at a mighty 2,435kg, and as new it costs from £111,000.

Alongside it, we have the F90 Competition. It also has a 4.4-litre twin-turbo V8, and this creates 625hp and 750Nm. Power is sent to all four wheels via an 8-speed auto, and it weighs 1,895kg. When new, it cost around £109,000.

Then finally we have the F10. It’s also packing a 4.4-litre twin-turbo V8, and this produces 575hp and 680Nm. It’s the only rear wheel drive car here, with the power sent to that set of tyres by a 7-speed dual-clutch gearbox. It’s the lightest car here, at 1,870kg, and when new it cost £79,000.

So will the newer and more powerful car snatch the win? There’s only one way to find out for sure… LET’S RACE!

Thanks for sharing, watched the video!

Wish they did a few more braking tests. It's easy to blame the weight, but w/o measurements, there's reaction times and other things that come into play.

Like in this video, where they compare M5 with RS6 and GT63, they did a follow-up braking test, and results were all different.

Considering the advantages, g90 did surprisingly well against a f90 comp which most likely had cold air intakes, downpipes, lowered for better launch, and Matt who’s a better driver plus he’s lighter…
