Porsche Macan Turbo v BMW M3 | evo DRAG BATTLE 

And people still say that the Evoque can handle the Mecan.. Bitch please

This is how everyone should do their drag races. Both had a good launch and I liked that your provided all the relevant information such as 0-60 and 0-100

Great video. I’d still go with the Macan. From a practicality and real world perspective the Macan is awesome. Plus from a reliability standpoint the Porsche is just better built. I have a few friends and coworkers that drive the M series in 3 and 5. Without fail they have had issues with engines and transmissions. When compared to my 911 997 Twin Turbo they spend a lot more time in the shop than I.

So the lighter, lower car, with more horsepower won. Wow.

2007 911 turbo did 0-100 mph in 9 sec. New M3 faster by over half a sec to 100 mph. Crikey mate!

Finally the drag battle is back!! Waited it for quite some time now since the last one!!

Subscribed!!! cool videos. It would be nice to have a final chart with each cars specs, times, and also their trap speeds at the 400m and 1000m so its easier to evaluate the results. Cool videos, keep them coming!

I'm surprised at how emphatic the victory was for the M3. 8.6 seconds to 100 mph is blisteringly fast - only 0.8 seconds behind an F40. 11.1 seconds for the Macan is quite startling too.

and now let's do a test between Jeep wrangler and Mustang GT

such a cool video! KEEP it up EVO

So let me get this...a lighter, more powerful car is quicker than a heavier, less powerful SUV? And on that bombshell...Goodnight!

The M3 has more power, less weight and probably also less drag. Fair comparison ^^

great

That 0-100mph time is insane for a sedan.

How do you choose what cars are you going to compare? based on official given numbers, price, weight, etc? thx for answer...

Love the grill design they put on all the Macan's and Cayenne's.

I love these comparisons, however, it would be nice to see the performance figures side-by-side as the narrator reads off the numbers.

All this hate for the Macan is ridiculous. It's going to sell. It's going to sell a LOT. Just like the Cayenne. The Cayenne gave Porsche so much god damn money that they built a new R&D department which resulted in the 918. People need to stop hating cars like this and appreciate the fact that its these kinds of cars that give car manufacturers the cash to research and build some amazing shit.

Any comparison is a good comparison. Thanks

Both great cars, can't wait to watch the M3/M4 review on this channel.

Love the head to head videos guys, but please please please can we have a drag battle that is actually fairly close? Even better, can we have a drag battle with two like 4 like cars (ie RS4 vs M3 etc)?

I wan't to see the M3 vs one of the lower trim Panamera's, maybe a S or even a GTS.

I would really love to see Porsche give the Macan the GT-R treatment that it gave to the Juke-R. Just by lowering the stance of the Juke, which looks like a sizeable cross-over SUV, it instantly looked smaller and took on the proportions of a hot hatch. I think doing something like dropping the Macan like that and maybe giving it some wider fenders would create the same effect: Making it look smaller, and looking like it was intended to be a hot hatch from the beginning. And wow, for all the M3's power, the i8 is still quicker. That's what a carbon tub and AWD, a 1.5L I3 turbo powering the back wheels and electric motors powering the fronts, with electric motors that have full power from 0 rpm will do for you.

The M3 does a quarter mile in 12,4 seconds? That's fast, quite fast. It's just a shame not to see manual cars around anymore.

Still impressed by the Macan. It needs more power though, 400 hp doesn't cut it for 2 tons of car. 450 to 500 would be much more fitting, but if Porsche makes a Turbo S, the price would be scary.

What is that smooth background track?

By the time you've finally finished twiddling all your knobs and buttons on these two gameboys the green light has passed and that Citroen 2cv that was sat next to you is already down the road.

and when it rains.... byebye rwd.

I am currently trying to decide between a Macan GTS or an M4 F82.

Not really an SUV fan, but having been in a fast ish ride in a Cayenne GTS it was a laugh. But I'd probably have the M3/M4, though I prefer the old E92 M3.

This is so ironic because I was just thinking about how much I love both of these cars the other day.. And now there's a mashup video of the two, even though they're completely different cars! I personally have the f30 335i and I love it. I can't imagine a car that feels faster, nor do I think I need one faster than it. But more power is always nice :) I'd love to trade up to the M3 a couple years later.

Please could we have a 435i vs golf 7 r drag race?

You can change launch rpm in the BMW using the cruise control switch on the steering wheel. 3000 rpm is way too much, it would've done better if you launched it at 2000-2200.

Would like to see a test without launch control as well since I doubt most users are going to go through all of those steps even in rare instances

Well you could knock me down with a feather.

Sedan Vs SUV? -_- Ok ok compare the panamera turbo to that m3 then ;) I didn't talk about 911 until now 😂

What next? Mokkan turbo vs Nissan GTR?

I do like that colour & that is the colour I'd choose, I'd take the M3/ over the M4 I don't know why I just would, manual for me tho, got a manual in my 3 series I'd take the manual every time

What about the Turbo S?

How is drag coefficient not even mentioned here? I'd reckon it should come right after power-to-weight ratio when it comes to accelerating past 100 mph.

This comparison doesn't make sense. It ought to be between a Macan and a BMX X3.

ok, +EVO quit with the dilly dally and lets get to the drag race everyone wants to see: McLaren P1 vs LaFerrari vs Porsche 918! Guaranteed 1 million views. DO IT!

Can you compare f80 m3 vs golf R vs Audi rs3

give me this m3 and I will love you forever.

I'll take one of each!

high performance SUV have batter weight distribution AWD and ow end torque for off the line. After that, the power to weight, aero and stability will lose the advantage

Would still choose the Macan. Probably mid-life crisis coming soon.

Surely there was ever only going to be one outcome to this, come on guys!

I was watching other comparison videos with the Macan, so I saw Macan vs X3, not M3. Why the heck would you pit these two together? Is the next video going to be, M3 vs 918? Who's your money on for that one?

So I'm debating which one to get in 2016 between Mercedes AMG 63S, BMW M3, Audi S6, or Porsche Macan Turbo, could someone give me suggestion which to get or other options i could go for?

Well, it was kinda expected to turn out this way. With launch control a 4wd car will be fast out of the line. If they were both manual the Macan wouldn't stand a chance to be ahead at any point. I love them both anyway x)

cayenne turbo would have been a better race, with 0-60 in 4.0 and 12.4 quarter it should be equal to the m3. Of course it costs a lot more, but it is a giant SUV compared to a tiny car

I'd take both thanks. M3 for daily commute and occasional track days, Macan for offroading and touring.

Not sure if I would necessarily cross shop these two, but I LOVE my M3 hahaha

4.1 to 60 is very impressive. That's F430 time.

Because of the "Swiss Knife" advantage of the Porsche I would put my money on the Macan. However as a sport car, the BMW is better.

those test are very cool but the inconsistency is slightly annoying. some cars are raced on 800m some on 1000km, therefore you cant really compare them afterwards.

That was at least two bus length if not more Damn

The Macan kind of looks like a big Mk7 Golf GTI, although the GTI looks better.

Who would have though, the car with more power and less weight won. I love evo but I don't get these weird drag battles using cars that aren't even in the same segment.

Higher weight , 30 horsepower less and at higher speeds more drag....Macan does not stand a chance. No point for this drag race.

M3 for sure. Beautiful, great sounding car.

My money's on the M3. Lets see...

It sounded like the commentator was doing this just before leaving work.

I haven't read the comments or watched the video yet hand on heart I swear. The Macan will win because the PDK, sophisticated launch control, and AWD. Just my guess

I’m impressed by the Macan. It’s fast and I respect it. The M3 is too much car for it.

Haha those shoes in the Macan!

Did anyone notice that the Macan's license plate kind of reads like "Rekt"?

Frontal area ftw

progress is progress. The 2008 GTR did 0-100mph in 8.5 and now this m3 is only a tad slower.

Love the M3! M power. Cant wait to see it against the new 4.0L C63.

savage

Gee, this one suprised me

People remember that this is the first turbo M car, so expect some serious remaps and power increases over the next few months from Dinan and the like.

Nooice. The macan looks awesome, and whoever buys one will enjoy it.

This is just stupid. M3 all day over the Macan!

The back of the macan looks real similar to the new Lincoln crossover...

love that macan :)

Amazing results, so useful if you ever end up on a long empty runway. Even more amazing that it roughly lines up with what you'd expect from the power/weight, aero and drive types. Come on Evo, do something a bit more interesting with these cars while you have them. There are loads more better performance metrics for road cars than just a 1km drag race.

Porsche needs to make that 'Pajun' soon!

Great Acceleration of macan in the first meters but the weight penalize the time

Tie fighter at 2.50

Cmon you're an European publisher. Don't do just drag comparisons.

I have m6 convertible

I thought the test was "how to get a family of four" moving. Fill the cars with 4 people and try again.

4.5 sec to 60mph is quite a number for an SUV

would pick a macan coz the m3/4 won't allow for many uses and the 911 won't fit my 1 year old and his car seat. space and performance will fit well with me coz I love road trips.

What's with the airplane at 0:26?

both are wrong if you want a fast family run about you have to get an audi rs4 avant

I mean its a quick little suv, but why buy one? What is a purpose in an suv at that point? its not much bigger than a car

well this is expected tho. i dont kno why yhis was even done. Try the cayenne for a more even fight and even then theres still weight and aerodynamic advantage for the m3. but still would have been less of waste of time than this

I find it more surprising that on paper a 335d xdrive could even burn a Macan Turbo... maybe one for the future EVO?

Not a fair comparison. Should match the Macan with an X6-M or and Audi Q3-S. The weight advantage the m3 had is what puts it ahead due to the fact that it sits lower, and well, it's a car not an SUV.

Everything in this video was like DUH

12 second m3? fuckin hell

Seems like the Macan's exhaust note sounds better.

oh yeah? now bring the panemera insead of an suv lol that or get bmw x3,4 or w/e that thing is

I was debating on which to buy, but still went with the Macan turbo and ordered yesterday. Coming from a BMW owner i feel the interior of the new BMW are so out dated. The ride is so much more comfortable in the Porsche

There is no way a tall, fat crossover/SUV could hold up against a power-similar low-riding saloon coupe. A more 'fair' comparison would be between a Station Wagon against a crossover/SUV.
