It’s time for a Germany vs America showdown!

We’ve got our hands on the F82 M4 CS, and it’s going up against a Shelby Mustang GT350! The question is, which will come out on top? Well, let’s take a closer look at the stats.

Starting with the BMW, it’s powered by a 3-litre twin-turbo straight-six. This creates 460hp and 600Nm, and this power is sent to the rear wheels via a 7-speed dual-clutch automatic gearbox. The car tips the scales at 1,580kg, and when it was new in 2017, it cost around £89,000.

Then we come to the Mustang. It’s housing a glorious 5.2-litre naturally-aspirated V8 under the bonnet, and it’s been tuned to produce 600hp and 597Nm of torque. This power is delivered to the rear wheels only via a 6-speed manual gearbox, and it weighs in at 1,680kg. As new it costs around £50,000.

So the Mustang is well up on power, but will the manual transmission be its undoing?! There’s only one way to find out for sure… LET’S RACE!
