In this video, Matt Watson from CarWow hosts a drag race between a BMW M8 Competition, a Ferrari GTC4 Lusso, and a tuned Nissan R35 GT-R. The BMW M8 wins the standing quarter-mile race with a time of 11 seconds, followed by the Ferrari at 11.4 seconds, and the GT-R at 11.6 seconds.
In a subsequent rolling race from 50 miles per hour, the Ferrari initially struggles to downshift, but in a rematch with the cars in sporty settings and manual mode, the Ferrari edges out the BMW M8.
The Ferrari also wins the brake test from 70 miles per hour. Matt notes that despite the GT-R being the oldest and cheapest car in the competition, it performed remarkably well considering its price.
