Alongside it, we have the Golf R, AMG A45 S, RS3 and Cayman GT4 RS! But which will cross the line first? Let’s check out the stats. Starting with the BMW, it’s powered by a 3-litre twin-turbo straight six, and this produces 480hp and 600Nm. Power is sent to the rear wheels only via an 8-speed torque converter gearbox, and it’s the heaviest car here at 1,730kg. It costs around £69,000. Next up is the Golf R. It’s packing a 2-litre 4-cylinder turbo, and it puts down 333hp and 420Nm. It has all-wheel drive and a 7-speed dual clutch, and it tips the scales at 1,548kg. As new, it costs £46,000. Next is the AMG A45 S. It has the same size engine as the Golf R, and it creates 421hp and 500Nm. It has an 8-speed automatic gearbox as well as all-wheel drive, and it weighs 1,680kg. You can pick one up new for around £65,000. The fourth car is the Audi RS3 Saloon. With a 2.5-litre 5-cylinder turbo under the bonnet, it creates 400hp and 500Nm. Power is sent to all four wheels via a 7-speed auto, and it weighs 1,640kg. A brand new one costs around £62,500. Then, finally, we have the Cayman GT4 RS. It’s packing a 4-litre NA flat-six, and it creates 500hp and 450Nm. Power is sent to the rear wheels only via a 7-speed auto gearbox, and it’s the lightest car here, at 1,415kg. It comes with a hefty price tag, though, costing around £125,500! So will the Porsche walk it? Or could the all-new M2 snatch the win? There’s only one way to find out… LET’S RACE!
