BMW's S58 is the world's benchmark straight-six. In the new 2026 BMW M2 CS, it produces 523 hp and 479 lb-ft of torque from 2993 cc.

Dodge's new "Hurricane" straight-six displaces the exact same 2993 cc, but makes even more power and torque: 550 hp and 531 lb-ft.

The newest Dodge muscle-car puts its power to the ground the same ZF 8HP transmission that the BMW uses — but the Charger makes use of AWD, where the M2 remains rear-drive.

Will the M2's 1140-lb weight advantage be enough to overcome its traction disadvantage? And will either of them be able to keep up with the all-electric Dodge Charger Daytona EV?

This Daytona is a Scat Pack, and a Track Pack, which means it has enormously wide, sticky tires to cope with 670 hp and 627 lb-ft of torque. To say nothing of its 5935-lb curb weight.

In terms of power-to-weight, the two Dodges are almost exactly the same — so this should be a great race!
