The BMW M3 coupe has morphed into the new M4, and with its closest rivals from Audi and Mercedes now very long in the tooth, we went seeking a rival from further up the food chain. Can the M4 do itself proud on Anglesey circuit against a proper sports car, the Porsche 911 [991] 3.6 Carrera?

With 425 bhp from turbocharged 3.0-liter inline six cylinder engine, the BMW M4 is sensibly more powerful than the standard Porsche 911 Carrera, which is powered by a 345bhp 3.6-litre naturally aspirated flat six engine.

Professional racing driver Marino Franchitti assessing them both.

 
Surprised, I thought the 991 would be toast!

....getting traction down on big power RWD BMW and Merc's(esp out of corners) has always been an issue on these cars.
 
Not overly surprised. The M4 has a bit of a weight problem. According to some customers with early cars it actually makes rather more than it's quoted power (allegedly standard cars have dyno-ed in the 460hp range), yet despite that it doesn't really lap any faster than an E46 CSL according to the findings of people like Sport Auto.

Fnatastic car, but my: hasn't she grown. More so than even the 911.
 
3.6? 3.4, surely? :dont know:

The power figure is quoted correctly:
the standard Porsche 911 Carrera, which is powered by a 345bhp 3.6-litre naturally aspirated flat six engine.

This equates to 350PS.
