BMW M5 G90 vs Ferrari 488 Pista Spider

Over a standing quarter mile on dry asphalt the Ferrari 488 Pista Spider is the quicker car, covering it in 10.08 s at 140.4 mph against the BMW M5 G90’s 11.14 s — a margin of 1.07 s. To 60 mph the Ferrari 488 Pista Spider takes 2.55 s and the BMW M5 G90 3.02 s.

Simulated, not measured — computed from each car’s published kerb mass, rated power and drivetrain, then fitted to its own published acceleration figures. Dry asphalt, 20 °C, sea level, 1 ft rollout.

Questions

Is the BMW M5 G90 or the Ferrari 488 Pista Spider faster?
The Ferrari 488 Pista Spider. Over a standing quarter mile it runs 10.08 s to the BMW M5 G90's 11.14 s, a margin of 1.07 s, and it reaches 60 mph in 2.55 s against 3.02 s. These are theoretical times from a physics simulation, not measured runs.
What is the BMW M5 G90 0-60 time?
The BMW M5 G90 reaches 60 mph in 3.02 s, simulated on dry asphalt at 20 °C with a 1 ft rollout. It covers the standing quarter mile in 11.14 s at 125.5 mph.
What is the Ferrari 488 Pista Spider 0-60 time?
The Ferrari 488 Pista Spider reaches 60 mph in 2.55 s, simulated on dry asphalt at 20 °C with a 1 ft rollout. It covers the standing quarter mile in 10.08 s at 140.4 mph.
What trap speed does each car run?
The BMW M5 G90 trips the lights at 125.5 mph and the Ferrari 488 Pista Spider at 140.4 mph at the end of the quarter mile. These are theoretical times from a physics simulation, not measured runs.
Are these real measured times?
No. Every time on this page is produced by a physics simulation, not by a stopwatch at a drag strip. Each car is modelled from its published kerb mass, rated power, drivetrain and gearing, then trimmed until it matches its own published acceleration figures — 11 of 11 for the BMW M5 G90 and 9 of 11 for the Ferrari 488 Pista Spider. Conditions are identical for both cars: dry asphalt, 20 °C, sea level, 1 ft rollout.
