Incredible M5/Plaid/Lucid drag race with a 70mph advantage to the M5
Came across this extremely well produced and neat video which pits the still awesome E39 M5 against the Plaid and Lucid. The twist is the M5 is driving at 70mph when it passes the Air and Plaid on the start line… Once the M5 passes, the other two start.
Really great way to show just how fast these cars are.

Taking bets, who ever guesses the winner first before watching gets a buck.
Who wins?
Spoiler
Here's a screen shot of video above at the start line, black BMW has a rolling 70 mph head start in middle lane, GO!

Would be a better race if they gave the new m5 comp a 50mph head start

Cammisa has been legit for awhile now. Enjoyed most of his content when he was on MotorTrend youtube channel years back. However, this new series with Hagerty takea it up a notch. It is very entertaining with some really cool special effects. Quickly becoming a favorite of mine in the Youtube car review space.

Assuming that M5 is in perfect mechanical condition, it would provide a driving experience overall both of those couldn’t match, except the stupid insane acceleration. E39 the sum of all parts. Stick shift V8, one of best chassis ever, the sound, etc.

Continue waiting. Meanwhile the 2nd Rimac Nevera just got delivered
Source
Formula 1 champion Nico Rosberg is the first customer to take delivery of a production Rimac Nevera, the 1,914-horsepower electric hyper-GT that currently holds the title of fastest production car in the 1/4-mile. Hey, if you're going to save the world from climate change, why not do it as fast as possible?
Kidding aside, it's a good thing Rosberg is no stranger to speed, because the Nevera offers more performance than the typical enthusiast would know what to do with. Packing 1,718 pound-feet of torque to go with its nearly 2,000 horses, the Nevera not only cracks off the 1320 in 8.582 seconds at 167.51 mph, it does it after casually hitting 60 mph in 1.9 seconds. Don't bother looking up Tesla specs; even the lightning-quick Model S Plaid can't sit at this table.
VIN #001 is not technically the first production-spec Nevera; that honor goes to (surprise, surprise) VIN #000, which Rimac keeps in-house as a showcase for its interior and exterior customization options. Rosberg optioned his in what he calls "full Batmobile spec," or what an aging segment (Hi, friends!) of the enthusiast population still tries to call "murdered out."
001's exterior is finished in Stellar Black paint with polished Vertex wheels and gloss black brake calipers. Rimac calls it "perhaps the most menacing personality of Nevera possible." The interior is finished in all black Alcantara and features a ‘Nico Rosberg’ signature plaque on the armrest with its serial number affixed.

Hmmmm let me think about that. I'll take the BIMMER.
Out of my price range so I'll never be driving it but sure looks good to me.
