Since Electric vehicles stormed the car market, many fans of the internal combustion engine have been challenging what is expected to eventually become the mainstream propulsion for future vehicles. Another rivalry between electricity and coal fuel comes courtesy of the official YouTube channel of the Hoonigans, where things are all about…well, hooning.

The rivalry in this video is between a 2012 Tesla Model S P85+ and a heavily-modified 2001 BMW E46. While the Tesla is said to represent the silent future, the modded-out “Beemer” stands for epic sounds and tire-shredding fun.

Some numbers for you. The Tesla Model S P85+ originally has 470 horsepower, although the owner claims a figure of 500 horsepower. The torque figure is around 450 pound-feet (610 Nm). Power goes to the rear wheels only and allows the 4,500-pound (2,041 kg) EV to reach 62 mph (100 km/h) in 4.4 seconds. The car is also lowered and features 15 mm wheels spacers, so the factory 21-inch wheels can be flush with the body.

The BMW is where it gets crazy. The car has a completely gutted interior and custom-made racing seats. The engine is a German-built CBM 6.9-lier normally-aspirated V-8 producing 620 horsepower and around 540 pound-feet (730 Nm). It also features a four-speed dog-box and is able to incinerate the rear tires in…you’ll have to see for yourself. Can this crazy V-8 Hooning machine stand up to the instant torque of Electric motors, or will it go down valiantly?
