Porsche vs BMW let’s gooo!

Matt and his team got their hands on the almighty, all-new Porsche 911 GT3 RS, and it’s going up against one of the most hardcore BMWs money can buy – the all-new BMW M3 CS! The question is, does this track-focused Porsche have what it takes to bring down the BMW?

Well, let’s take a closer look at the stats. Starting with the Porsche, it’s powered by a 4-litre naturally-aspirated flat-six that can produce 525hp and 465Nm of torque. Power is sent to the rear wheels via a 7-speed automatic gearbox, and being a track-focused car, it’s super light, weighing in at just 1,450kg!

But all this power & performance doesn’t come cheap, with the GT3 RS starting from £190,000! What’s more, the one we have here has the Weissach Pack fitted, so it costs around £235,000!

Then we have the BMW M3 CS. It has the same 3-litre twin-turbo straight-six as in the regular M3, but power has been increased to 550hp and 650Nm. This power is sent to all four wheels via an 8-speed automatic gearbox, and the car is a fair bit heavier than the GT3, at 1,765kg. It’s a fair bit cheaper, though, costing around £116,000.

So the BMW has more power, but will the weight prove decisive? There’s only one way to find out… LET’S RACE! For more content like this one follow us also on Facebook, Pinterest or Instagram!
