We have entered a new year that opens doors for new beginnings. Many people make new plans and set goals to change things in their life. However, there are some good things that don’t change. One of them is drag races where powerful cars compete every week. With this week’s race, we can say that the new year will start in an exciting way for car enthusiasts.
As our followers who visited our site before the new year will remember, we published the last drag race of 2021 yesterday. In the race of two ‘old soil’ models, the 1987 model had interesting results. On the first day of 2022, the BMW i4 M50 and Tesla Model 3 Performance will face each other on the drag track. Before we take a look at the race of these two ambitious cars, let’s examine the general features of the models…
Which of the two electric models will prevail?
The first participant of the race, the BMW i4 M50, produces 544 horsepower and 795 Nm of torque with its dual electric motor. Despite its sporty appearance, this BMW model, which is quite powerful, is considerably heavier than its rival, with a weight of 2,215 kg. Despite this, the car, which is a very formidable competitor, is stated to have a price of 63 thousand 905 pounds.
The second-place participant of the race, the black Tesla Model 3 Performance, has a double electric motor just like its rival, but can produce 490 horsepower and 660 Nm of torque. On the other hand, with a weight of 1847 kg, the BMW i4 is 300 kg lighter than the M50. This can be a big plus in the race. The Tesla model, which reveals its claim even with its stance, has a price of 59 thousand 990 pounds. Now that we have a general look at the participants, now it’s time for the race…
In the first stage of the race (2:58 and 4:03 minutes), the starting speeds of the cars are tested. In the second stage (5:50 and 6:37 min) acceleration capacities are compared while driving. In the third and final stage (7:41 minutes), there is the brake test.
