On a stretch of tarmac, two German machines met not merely as competitors but as emissaries of opposing engineering faiths — one harnessing forced induction and four-wheel grip, the other trusting in atmospheric purity and the rear wheels alone. The BMW M5 Competition and Audi R8 V10 RWD staged a series of drag races in 2022 that revealed less about which car is faster and more about what speed itself can mean. Neither philosophy claimed a decisive victory, and perhaps that was the most honest result either could have produced.
