They also tested the 3 at Buttonwillow Raceway Parks East Loop. The M5 was the quckest here.
M5 58.66 seconds
S6 58.76 seconds
E63 60.06 seconds
The writing was pretty weak in my opinion, nothing very insightful. They did mention the smallish size of the tires was holding the E63 back at the track.
Final results-
1. Audi S6
2. BMW M5
3. E63 AMG
Cheers!" |
