Here's What Happens When A BMW M760Li Drag Races A Ducati Panigale V4
Drag racing a BMW M760Li looks like tremendous fun. Yes, it weighs about 2200kg, but it also produces 592bhp from a 6.6-litre twin-turbo V12, making this luxo-fatty much faster than you’d expect.
We’re talking 0-62mph in just 3.9 seconds, and the ability to make the current M3 seem a little sluggish. But what happens when this super-barge has a pop at a superbike?
In the case of this drag race from Car Wow - featuring an M760Li and a Ducati Panigale V4 - the BMW has the edge at the start thanks to the wonders of all-wheel drive traction, but it doesn’t take long for the bike to take the lead and pull away.
In other words, a fairly predictable result. Ducati’s latest Panigale may have about one third of the power of the uber 7-series, but the latter vehicle is 11 times as heavy…
Growing up on a diet of World Rally Championship highlights and lengthy Gran Turismo 2 sessions, a life in cars was as good as inevitable for Matt.

Because why not
The channel with the weirdest dragraces. Next week on carwow: top fuel dragster vs. walking
That is why people love it!
Or scramjet propelled aircraft versus a snail
But what if we strapped two bikes together to have double the horsepower and 4 wheels?
That’s BRILLIANT!
Something like an Ariel Atom V8?
Next week on Carwow BMW M3 vs. Honda Super cub…
Oh wow, how surprising!
I never anticipated that result.
If you looked at the comments section of the YT video - the only reason why they did it is because a biker magazine had bought the ducati down and carwow had the BMW at the runway, and why not?
What else did you expect from this race?
