E63 AMG got a bad start. I think the guy was sleeping. Don't think it would have changed the outcome, but may have been a little closer.

F10 M5 :inlove:

The Panamera Turbo wasn't included because it is much more expensive and thus out of the price range of the XF-R, E63 and ///M5. Even the Panamera Turbo won't run away from the ///M5 though, there are comparisons on the internets already

New M5 looks mighty impressive indeed.

Lots of mis-information amongst forum members though. Tests done at Gerotek shpw that the Panamera Turbo is quicker than the M5 all the way through to the 1km mark. And although the M5 is quicker than the E63 without the performance pack that Merc offers, I'm sure the E63 with the performance pack will run the M5 very close. In fact, the CLS63 without the performance pack tested marginally quicker than the M5 at Gerotek.

Here are the Gerotek results:

Porsche Panamera Turbo S: 3.77 seconds (0-100); 11.82 seconds @ 192.62 km/h (quarter mile) and 21.50 seconds @ 246.88 km/h (km sprint)

Mercedes Benz CLS 63 AMG 4.32 seconds (0-100); 12.38 seconds @ 192.51 km/h and 22.00 seconds @ 249.06 km/h

BMW M5: 4.60 seconds (0-100); 12.65 seconds @ 192.46 km/h (quarter mile) and 22.27 seconds @ 249.34 km/h (km sprint)

Mercedes Benz E 63 AMG: 4.78 seconds (0-100); 12.80 seconds @ 189.12 km/h (quarter mile) and 22.64 seconds @ 241.52 km/h

Funny reading the comments of the guys on the site the video was posted...When BMW fans brought up the displacement difference between E60 M5 (5.0l) and E63 (6.2l), M3 (4.0l) and C63 (6.2l), we where making excuses and being :cry:. Now we are more or less comparing apples with apples and look who's doing the :cry: now. Yes the Porsche is much faster, but its not competing with the M5, its way more expensive. The fact that Merc finds the need to be offering performance packs for their cars, well, says it all doesn't it.
