Watching a 999 horsepower Porsche 991 generation 911 Turbo take on a BMW M3 G80 that can cough out 730 horsepower is bound to make any sports car fanatic full of excitement. The two sports cars do not usually offer such immense power outputs. Yet, their fine-tuning work comes to life on the Automotive Mike YouTube channel, and here is the result.

A Convincing Start That Lasts A Matter Of Seconds

As the HCP Porsche 991 Turbo rolls to the 31 MPH line wth the LCE BMW M3 G80, it seems as if the BMW is going to be able to have a fair chance against the higher-end sports car. Yet, before anyone can blink their eyes, the Porsche 991 Turbo gets away and zooms from side to side to show off what it is capable of.

Within a matter of seconds, the Porsche leaves the BMW behind and gives it no chance at all to catch up. The BMW is still in plain view for some time, meanwhile, the Porsche is out of sight and crossing over the finish line.

The Final Result

The final result of the drag race is pretty obvious once watchers see the Porsche fly away from the BMW. Seeing as it is capable of 999 horsepower in comparison to the BMW's maximum power output of 730, it is clear which car has the greater advantage.

As the final results roll in, the Porsche 991 Turbo's time comes up on the screen much sooner than the BMW, which is because it left it standing. The Porsche did manage to reach a top speed of 203.54 MPH. Meanwhile, the BMW slowly rolls in behind the Porsche and its top speed hits just 169.10 MPH.

The power and the speed of the Porsche 991 Turbo just prove why the Porsche is the better sports car of the two. The Porsche is a car made for racing after all. Hence, it won the drag race and top speed fair and square.

In summary, even though the BMW M3 G80 did give the race a good go, it did not quite live up to the standards of the Porsche 911 Turbo. It did not even come marginally close to the top speed of the Porsche, which justifies Porsche's race-worthy persona.
