Why is EVERYONE hating on the NEW BMW M5

Change your car with Carwow: https://bit.ly/Change-Your-Car-21-12 The time has come for Mat to review the all-new BMW M5! Now it’s fair to say that the new M5 has had a fair bit of criticism thrown its way since it was unveiled back in June, but is it all justified? Mat’s about to take a closer look and find out. Starting with the design, there’s no denying that it has a pretty aggressive look to it. There’s a huge front bumper that comes with massive air intakes, while there’s also a large blacked-out M grille which can even illuminate at night! Along the side, there are side skirts and M side mirrors, while at the back there’s a crazy diffuser-styled bumper, coupled with quad tailpipes! It’s even possible to add a carbon fibre roof as well. Step inside and you’ll find a traditional M interior, with a large swooping digital dial and infotainment screen. There are loads of M touches as well, including the M steering wheel, M sports seats, and even M pedals! There’s lots of soft-touch material throughout, and a lot of M functionality hidden in the infotainment system. Under the bonnet, the new M5 is still powered by a 4.4-litre twin-turbo V8. However, it’s now also a hybrid, so when the engine and electric motor combine it produces 727hp and 1,000Nm of torque! But of course, the hybrid system massively adds to the weight, with the M5 clocking in at 2,435kg! All in, the new M5 costs from around £111,000. So is it worth it?! You’ll need to stick with Mat to see for yourself! Chapters

Quickest EVER Audi RS Cars: DRAG RACE

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RKF8vynN-1c

Change your car with Carwow: https://bit.ly/Change-Your-Car-1712 It’s time for the quickest Audi RS cars ever created to go head-to-head over the 1/4-mile! Mat and the team have flown over to Germany to get their hands on the latest range of Audi e-tron GTs. However, alongside them we have the all-new Audi RS6 GT & R8 GT, and we’re about to see how they all compare in a drag race. First up we have the entry-level S e-tron GT vs the RS6 GT. The former is powered by two electric motors that produce 592hp and 740Nm. However, when the car is put into launch control mode, it briefly offers 680hp! It tips the scales at 2,385kg, and as new it costs £109,000. The RS6 GT is powered by a 4-litre twin-turbo V8, and it produces 630hp and 850Nm. Power is sent to all four wheels via an 8-speed automatic gearbox, and it weighs in at 2,075kg. Before it sold out, it cost around £177,000. Joining us in the next race is the R8 GT! It’s powered by a glorious 5.2-litre naturally-aspirated V10, and this puts down 620hp and 565Nm. This power is sent to the rear wheels only via a 7-speed dual-clutch, and it tips the scales at just 1,570kg. Before it sold out, it cost around £200,000. So how do you think this one will play out. Will the electric e-tron win it all? Or could the RS6 or R8 snatch a win? There’s only one way to find out for sure… LET’S RACE!
