The M3 touring is faster. There is no doubt about that. It really keeps itself against the larger sports car segment. But thanks to the miracles of modern coordination – and the adorable drive train under the sheet metal of the M3 Touring – the performance car can even give a large part of the Hypercar market for its money. In a new video of CarwowA coordinated M3 touring, which supposedly appeals four-digit horsepower, assumes a Lamborghini of $ 450,000. We could have ended the sentence there and they probably still wanted to see what was happening. But indeed Carwow Tests A trio of cars to the millions of dollars Koenigsegg Jesko.
The contenders
You are probably already familiar with the M3 tour. It is the wagon variant of the M3 sedan with the venerable S58 engine, an eight-speed automatic transmission and the M xDrive all-wheel drive to break off the power supply. Oh yes, electricity – the car usually makes 523 hp. This M3 tour in particular has thrown the works into it and applied a built engine and a transmission and many other delicacies. The claim is 1,000 hp, but we have to see how it is at the drag strip.
The Lamborghini is the latest V12 flagship model, the Revuelto. Like the BMW i8, it has a hybrid drive train and all-wheel drive, only here the three electric motors and the mighty V12 produce a combined power of 1,001 hp. It is the highest performance of all Lamborghini ever. The Koenigsegg, on the other hand, has the fascinating award to be the most powerful and lightest car, while it is the only car with rear wheel drive. The car has 1,280 hp here because you cannot get 1,600 hp without E85 fuel.
The race
After a few speeds and general joke, the cars start. As you may have suspected, the cars with all -wheel drive jump in front of the egg immediately. It is also quite easy to see that the pilot of the Koenigsegg may not be the most experienced drag racing driver. After all, it is more the owner than a tamed racing driver. While the car takes the W home pretty handy, he also started the others – early – that is, that is,. The egg driver loses his passenger and the trio is aligned three times more. In short, the Koenigsegg never wins one.
The Touring supported its 1,000 hp claim with a crispy quarter mile run of 9.5 seconds. And in particular there was not a slow run here – every car posted a time under ten seconds. Running at higher speed see how the Koenigsegg works particularly better, which makes sense, because limited traction is not a problem. However, watching and enjoying. The M3 touring is an amazing machine with or without 1,000 hp. However, it is very cool to see how to consistently beat cars with exponentially higher price tags.
