Who’s ready for a glorious M5 v GT-R drag race?!
We’ve got Mat lined up in an E39 M5, and he’s about to go head-to-head against an R34 GT-R Skyline! But how do they compare?
Starting with the M5, it’s powered by a 4.9-litre naturally-aspirated V8 that can deliver 400hp and 500Nm. It weighs in at 1,795kg and it drives the rear wheels only. If you’re looking to pick one up today, it’ll set you back around £25,000.
As for the GT-R, well that’ll cost you MUCH more, with one of those costing around £120,000! However, it may be more expensive, but it’s down on power, with its 2.6-litre twin-turbo straight-six able to deliver 280hp and 392Nm. It is lighter than the BMW, though, tipping the scales at 1,560kg.
So what do you think - will it be an easy victory for the BMW? Or could the GT-R snatch it? There’s only one way to find out - LET’S RACE!

Thanks for featuring my R34 again guys! Was a pleasure! 😎
-
Finally the legendary driver Sam is getting some screen time, he deserves it, big time!

-
The greatest GTR alongside the greatest 4 door saloon ever made. And they still both look stunning 🤤
-
How the R34 remains so good-looking as time passes is honestly amazing
-
E39 is one of the most beautiful 4 doors ever made. They're the perfect size as well.
-
The E39 M5 seems to launch very well. The rolling races just demonstrate the obvious advantage that larger capacity NA motors have in the lower rev range. This was a good match up though.
-
Both engines are such masterpieces, then and now~ That V8 sounds really good and that inline 6 sounds really good :)
-
One of the best BMWs ever made and one of the best GT-Rs ever made 🙌🙌🙌
-
So nice to see a clean, non ‘fast & furioused’ R34. The E39 is my favourite 5 series; my favourite model being the 528i SE.
-
The e39M5 is just a masterpiece. One of the best cars ever for me
-
Back when the 5 series wasn’t the size of a Lincoln town car. Ahhh the good ol’days. Lol. Great content 🤟
-
This is probably the best race ever because of the manual gear shifts. Proper racing.
-
2 epic cars , master pieces of their time , what an epic race , keep it up Mat 💪🏼
-
2 of my favourite cars, amazing race ! Great video once again !
-
The 3rd run is fantastic and this showdown is absolutely legendary!!
-
Two great iconic cars, MT fun, stock. This was more fun than any Lamborghini, Tesla or whatever other modern cars. Please more like this!! Thanks.
-
Just shows how underappreciated the e39 m5 really is 😁 loving these completely random races
-
One of the best looking drag races so far!
