Turbo Diesel BMW 335d vs. Cadillac CTS-V – Drag Race

December 30th, 2023

It’s all about the torque as these competitors take to the track for some 1,000-foot drag racing. That’s right – it’s a standing drag race to 1,000-feet. Come along with the Hoonigan crew as they admire these two torque monsters.

Doing business in the left lane is the 2013 Cadillac CTS-V. This rear-wheel drive coupe is equipped with a supercharged 6.2-liter V8 engine mated to a 6-speed automatic transmission. In stock trim, the CTS-V could produce 556hp and 551 lb.-ft. of torque. The Cadillac featured in this video has been upgraded with an aftermarket supercharger pulley (undersize) and larger intercoolers. In its current condition, the owner is claiming 600hp. I believe that he might be underestimating.

In the right lane is a 2010 BMW 335d. Yes, “d” means “diesel”. This is a twin (compound) turbocharged 3.0-liter inline 6-cylinder that can make 425 lb.-ft. of torque in factory condition. The 335d is a rear-wheel drive sedan with a 6-speed automatic transmission. It weighs-in at 3,800-pounds. Modifications to this BMW include a performance exhaust downpipe, EGR delete and a methanol injection. He’s claiming 380whp and 600 lb.-ft. of torque.

Saddle-up, cowboys and let’s get ready to ride.
