Good result. But I don't understand how they give the m5 and the e63s the same marks in the quarter mile , when the m5 has been measured with a faster quarter mile. Someone explain that to me.

I test drove a new Panamera Turbo a few months ago. Super fast but so silky smooth that it felt kind of disconnected. Immediately afterwards I drove a 991.2 911 Turbo and I was completely in love. Just couldn’t swing almost 200k at the moment

Interior styling a 10/10 for the AMG? I guess if you like tacked on iPads! I personally think the AMG interior looks out of balance. I don’t think a massive horizontal screen is beautiful automotive design. I’d give the M5 9/10 and the AMG 7/10, which would make the margin of victory even larger for the new king of the executive saloons.

That said, I will say that these cars are extremely close - all of the stats show about a tenth difference from 0-60, 0-100 with 0-150 times where the E63S finally equals things out (maybe it is gearing again or tune where it is slightly superior in the top end to be able to catch up). All of this said - let's also be fair that it takes the highest end E63 (the S) to be close to even with the "entry" or "base" M5. Overall however - my guess is that the M5 - in the 1/4 mile at least - will be found to have at least a MPH to even 2 MPH advantage overall to the E63S on average. |

Do you think that the ceramic brake (+/- 50 lbs) could represent the .01 / .02 difference? All test as been done with ceramic brake by review ..

I have asked this question before, where has all the HP gone in the CTS-V? It's got the most power and lightest weight, I mean sure it's probably harder to launch but even at top end it still gets murdered by others. You would think by 150mph it will catch up......
Maybe it's got massive downforce : |

The F10 M5 did 150mph is 18.3s, it weighed more than this Cadillac and had considerably less power yet the Cadillac can muster only 20s to 150mph. The Cadillac lacks traction and the traction management system is poor, Same like the hellcats... old stubborn American garbage bringing a knife to a gunfight |

Actually r&t has the Ctsv hitting 150mph in 17.8s and a trap speed of 126mph. That’s more in line with its advertised power however for sure rwd and 30-profile tires are holding back acceleration numbers ....
