What's the 0-100, 0-200, 0-300 figures on RS6 Avant vs E63 W?

I dont think there been a direct head to head comparison yet. Its pointless to compare times with another test done at a different time. There are different factors involved when meassuring acceleration.

Really? That's the first time I hear about it. Can you find it and post it here?

I can confirm its true. I think it was the german Autobild with a grouptest with different Estate cars involved. The M5 T had the worst laptime of all the tested cars. Something must been wrong since there are many other tracktimes where the M5 been faster than the E63. But I guess sometimes there are exceptions

German Autobild have tested them before and then M5 Touring was quicker:

E63: 1:36,57 min
M5T: 1:34,81 min
RS6: 1:34,00 min

80-120 km/h
RS6: 2,7 s
M5: 2,5 s
E63: 2,7 s

0-200 km/h
RS6: 14,3 s
M5:14,7 s
E64: 15,1 s

0-100 km/h
RS6: 4,4 s
M5: 4,9 s
E63: 4,4 s

EDIT: I tried to find the test GTA was talking about but I cant find it. Maybe it isnt correct then. I will continue searching for it.


EDIT: here is the test. Again , its Autobild who did the test. funny they have two different conclusions

1. 1:50,81 min - Audi RS6 Avant
2. 1:51,83 min - Alpina B5 S Touring
3. 1:53,63 min - Mercedes E63 AMG T
4. 1:55,89 min - BMW M5 Touring

Even the Alpina beat the M5 T. Weird, M5 is a better handler than the Alpina for sure. Something must been wrong with this particulary M5 T
