In a clash of automotive titans, the BMW M5 takes on the Ferrari SF90 in a high-octane drag race showdown. The M5, tuned to a staggering 1,020 horsepower, seems like a formidable opponent with its all-wheel drive and hefty weight of 2,420 kg. On the other side, the SF90 boasts 1,000 horsepower and 800 Nm of torque, wrapped in a sleek package that costs a cool $550,000. Despite the M5's power advantage, the SF90's hybrid system and lighter weight give it an unexpected edge on the tarmac.

As the race unfolds, it becomes clear that the SF90's performance prowess is unmatched, leaving the tuned M5 in its electrifying dust. The quarter-mile sprint sees the SF90 blitzing past the finish line in 9.6 seconds, while the M5 trails behind at 10.4 seconds. Even in rolling races and electric-only drag battles, the SF90's dominance shines through, showcasing its technological superiority over the brawny M5.

While the M5's tuning upgrades, including an Akrapovic exhaust, aim to enhance its power-to-weight ratio, the SF90's engineering brilliance proves to be a tough nut to crack. The team's discussions on weight-saving tactics and the challenges of pushing the M5's engine further shed light on the intricacies of automotive performance tuning. Ultimately, the Ferrari SF90 emerges victorious, cementing its status as a true speed demon on the asphalt.
