Video Description

Change your car with Carwow: https://bit.ly/Change-Your-Car-2011 We’ve got our hands on the all-new Mustang GT, and it’s about to go head-to-head against a BMW M2 Competition! On paper, the two of these cars look pretty evenly matched, but will it play out like that over the quarter-mile? Let’s take a closer look. Starting with the M2, it’s powered by a 3-litre twin-turbo straight-six that can produce 480hp and 600Nm of torque. Power is sent to the rear wheels only, and the car weighs in at 1,805kg. When new, an M2 Competition would cost around £63,000. As for the Mustang, it’s packing a glorious-sounding 5-litre naturally-aspirated V8. In the UK, the only Mustang you can buy puts down 453hp and 540Nm. However, we’ve got our hands on a US import, meaning the car we have here produces 486hp and 567Nm! Just like the M2, the power is sent to the rear wheels only, and the car weighs 1,738kg. In the US the Mustang costs $45,000, but if you’re looking to buy one in the UK, the price increases to £55,700! So the Mustang is slightly up on power, but the M2 has launch control! Will that prove decisive? There’s only one way to find out… LET’S RACE!
