Anybody else notice the M2 wheels start to spin and even begin to hook up before the AMG wheels even starts to rotate? Seems the M2 actually had a decent launch, quite quick reaction time. I think if this test was done repeatedly, 10 or more runs, the AMG would be more easily reproducible. Yes, even in less wet conditions. I'd still take the rear wheel drive config any day tho.

0-1000m race would have been interesting. The 4cylinder AMG would die off and the 6cylinder in the BMW would pull ahead.
I'd say this was to be expected. That AMG is a brute off the line.

Im surprised how people are ranting about an AWD contender winning a race in the damp/wet. That is to be expected as simple mechanics came into play here. People should be praising the M2 for doing so darn well in the wet. I am really beginning to respect the little ///M.
I actually want one now! |

I think there's an irony to the video, in which the M2 did so well as it did against a similar powered awd car and just goes to show how good it is. |

... people favoring the M2 over the A45 on a BMW forum? Crazy.
I'll never grasp why people couldn't simply go: cool, it's a driver's race at the least and move on.

No one mentioned anything about the drivetrain loss of RWD vs AWD.
The higher the speed, the more advantageous RWD drivetrain has due to lesser moving components (less power loss) and thus more power to the wheels. Given similar power, it is expected that the M2 will eventually overtake the A45 at higher speed unless its aerodynamic drag is much worst off. |
