Re: The M5, one word, INCREDIBLE
We have just come back from testing it on the autobahn against...the GALLARDO and i can say comprehensively 100% that the new M5 is faster than the lambo.

We went from 80km/h to 270km/h, and though the lambo got the jump the m5 was slowly catching it. I have no doubts in my mind that we would have overhauled it if we didnt have the limiter...

I have it on video too, so will post it asap.

all the best

So you didn't catch it?

According to this, you shouldn't

I really think we could have overhauled it! Seriously, it was amazing, i thought the gallardo might have been on part throttle, but this was not so.

That only shows the acceleration until 200. The M5 really shines above 200!

That's like saying the RS6 Plus is faster than the stock M5... 280 vs. 250 km/h. Which I wouldn't say...

Tuned vs. stock IMO.

Sorry if I sound negative, I'm not. Looking forward to the video.
