However, it\u2019s still a large and heavy sedan, so you\u2019d assume it would not stand a chance against a fully fledged supercar, right? Not just any supercar, but the mighty Nissan GT-R. As if that wasn\u2019t enough, Godzilla has been modified for more oomph.<\/p>\n<p>Well, things are not always what they may seem at a first glance because the outcome of this drag race between the super sedan and the R35 might come as a surprise to some people. That said, it is worth pointing out the current GT-R is getting quite a bit long in the tooth as the current generation has been around for no fewer than 13 years.<\/p>\n<p><noscript><img fetchpriority=\"high\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-medium wp-image-408586\" src=\"https:\/\/cdn.bmwblog.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/08\/2021_bmw_m5_cs_images_23-830x553.jpg\" alt=\"2021 bmw m5 cs images 23 830x553\" width=\"830\" height=\"553\" srcset=\"https:\/\/cdn.bmwblog.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/08\/2021_bmw_m5_cs_images_23-830x553.jpg 830w, https:\/\/cdn.bmwblog.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/08\/2021_bmw_m5_cs_images_23-1536x1024.jpg 1536w, https:\/\/cdn.bmwblog.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/08\/2021_bmw_m5_cs_images_23-768x512.jpg 768w, https:\/\/cdn.bmwblog.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/08\/2021_bmw_m5_cs_images_23-300x200.jpg 300w, https:\/\/cdn.bmwblog.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/08\/2021_bmw_m5_cs_images_23.jpg 1920w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 830px) 100vw, 830px\" title=\"image of 2021 bmw m5 cs images 23 830x553\"\/><\/noscript><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"lazyload alignnone size-medium wp-image-408586\" src=\"data:image\/svg+xml,%3Csvg%20xmlns=%22http:\/\/www.w3.org\/2000\/svg%22%20viewBox=%220%200%20830%20553%22%3E%3C\/svg%3E\" data-src=\"https:\/\/cdn.bmwblog.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/08\/2021_bmw_m5_cs_images_23-830x553.jpg\" alt=\"2021 bmw m5 cs images 23 830x553\" width=\"830\" height=\"553\" data-srcset=\"https:\/\/cdn.bmwblog.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/08\/2021_bmw_m5_cs_images_23-830x553.jpg 830w, https:\/\/cdn.bmwblog.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/08\/2021_bmw_m5_cs_images_23-1536x1024.jpg 1536w, https:\/\/cdn.bmwblog.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/08\/2021_bmw_m5_cs_images_23-768x512.jpg 768w, https:\/\/cdn.bmwblog.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/08\/2021_bmw_m5_cs_images_23-300x200.jpg 300w, https:\/\/cdn.bmwblog.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/08\/2021_bmw_m5_cs_images_23.jpg 1920w\" data-sizes=\"(max-width: 830px) 100vw, 830px\" title=\"image of 2021 bmw m5 cs images 23 830x553\"\/><\/p>\n<p>At the end of the day, it\u2019s a duel between a car that came out at the beginning of the year and one tracing its roots way back to 2008. You\u2019d be right in saying the GT-R has the advantage on paper since it has both more horsepower and torque than the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.bmwblog.com\/2021\/09\/16\/exclusive-we-test-drove-the-bmw-m5-cs-bmws-most-powerful-car\/\">M5 CS<\/a>. With 650 hp and 850 Nm (625 lb-ft) courtesy of a stage 5 kit from Swedish tuner JRM Racing, it has an advantage of 23hp and 100 Nm (72 lb-ft) over its adversary. Not only that, but the BMW is also a little bit heavier.<\/p>\n<p>Nevertheless, we are still scratching our heads as to why the GT-R somehow lost the drag race, especially since it had a better start off the line. The M5 CS managed to recuperate the deficit right away and gradually improved its lead, ultimately winning the first duel. It was different in the roll race since the Japanese supercar took off like a rocket and it wasn\u2019t until the cars reached higher speeds when the BMW gained most of the lost ground.<\/p>\n<p>The fact Bavaria\u2019s M5 CS can even play in the supercar league is an impressive feat and goes to show how a luxurious and high-tech large sedan that can comfortably seat four people can go up against a dedicated performance machine that used to rule the track not that long ago.<\/p>\n<p>Source: <a href=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/watch?v=XjnrwlirPtQ\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">GTBOARD \/ YouTube<\/a><\/p>\n<p><iframe loading=\"lazy\" title=\"DRAG RACE 635 HP BMW M5 CS vs 650 HP Nissan GTR R35 JRM Racing Stage 5 and ROLL RACE\" width=\"500\" height=\"281\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/XjnrwlirPtQ?feature=oembed\" frameborder=\"0\" allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture\" allowfullscreen=\"\">[embedded content]<\/iframe><\/p>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>[embedded content] We all know the M5 CS is an absolute beast given its status of being BMW\u2019s most powerful and quickest production car ever.
