No not really, its a Coupe which mean lower center of gravity to improve the handling. If you read more close you see the laptime is the same as the M5 on a dry road but slower than the M5 on a wet road. Also this AM has the same laptime around Nordschleife as the M5 but slower then the M5 on hockenheim. The AM probably weigh less than a M5 as well.

| Re: Autocar Britain's Best Drivers Car 2005 Well, good/great perf. for the M5. Of course on the real world, perhaps only the Ford GT and/or Noble can best it. |
