Over time, watching drag races among supercars can become less thrilling, as fans often predict the outcome before the race even begins. However, the presence of a sleeper or a heavily modified vehicle tends to raise the stakes and excitement levels. After all, the true specifications and capabilities of the modified car can be a surprise.
In the video below, a BMW E30 M3 equipped with a V-10 engine goes head-to-head against a Lamborghini Huracan LP580-2. Both cars are impressive, but the S85B50 DOHC V-10 engine installed in the E30 M3 transforms it into a formidable contender. This 5.0-liter V-10, when untouched, boasts an output of 500 horsepower and 384 lb-ft of torque—more than enough to send the lightweight coupe racing ahead of the 580-hp two-wheel-drive Huracan. Throughout the race, the E30 M3 consistently pulls ahead of the Lamborghini, ultimately finishing about two car lengths in front.
After watching this thrilling showdown, it’s hard to choose which car you would prefer to take home. The decision isn’t easy!
