R8 has more power and weights 600 pounds less with less aero drag and a DCT .... Best power to weight wins when traction is equal. M8 did very well and performed as expected , it's a 10.9-110 1/4 mile ET all day long which is great for a big GT! It does better than it should peak hp wise because of its fantastic power AUC .

Anyhow carwow is known for under performing when it comes to BMWs, so I wouldn't be surprised if another reviewer has totally different results.
Gen 2 R8's do 0-60 in 2.4-2.5s. It's essentially a reskinned Huracan and you expected the M8 to beat that?

I'm just glad it beat the GT63S. Can't wait for carwow to do the eventual M8C GC vs GT4 63S vs RS7 vs Model S P100D vs Panamera Turbo S Hybrid race. Might as well thrown in a GTR to see how these sedans compare to Godzilla. It should be the closest race on that channel till date (aside from the new RS7 which we know will be last).

Drag race Schmag race....take them to the 'Ring. That's where the true all around winner will emerge. 😃Bonus points, though, for featuring Mutley!

That Mr Amg is coming up with excuses

Then posts a video where you can see that he doesn't "beat the M8 easily". Not sure about his ego, he just needs to accept that he lost the race...

It was fun to watch, and it all depends on driver and what part of track is cleaner.

It’s safe to say that BMW has finally figured out LC. The launches were really consistent.

Yep it has nearly 400hp per tonne I'm surprised people think that the M8 would beat it.

The new gen. 911 S has also a Turbo .
And I know the Turbo-S has 200 ponies more .

If it was the Turbo-S . The others had 0 chance ....
The 992 turbo S is also not in production. It'll be a beast when they launch it though

R8 starting price 200k, 992 starting price 100k.

Luv 911 turbo's and were my exclusive choice as my dd for many, many years, but now that I've aged a bit, they just don't offer the size/comfort I need of a large HP GT which has been my preference for the last several years. When it comes to acceleration, the 911 Turbo's are near impossible to beat for normal production cars, and have been that way since they came out in 75. I will always have a soft spot for these.
