        Video: m5board.com|GTboard.com: BMW M5 Touring '07 vs Ferrari 612 Scaglietti 50-260 km/h

        + YouTube Video
        ERROR: If you can see this, then YouTube is down or you don't have Flash installed.



        So, we ran in the new a brand new BMW M5 Touring vs the Ferrari 612 Scaglietti, with a V-12 and 540 HP @ 7250 rpm and 588 Nm @ 5250 rpm. Outcome was a bit of a surprise, but the BMW M5 Touring is a full 100 kg more weight than the BMW M5 Sedan, and we tried them head to head and the Sedan was quie a bit faster (2-3 carlengths). So a M5 Sedan would have stood a much better chanse. Also, he did an error when upshifting, hit the rev limiter as you can see in the movie.

        This race is from the Second GTboard.com Airfield Event we did this summer. The DVD II is ready this February (any day). Preorder by sending a mail here.



        You can order the first DVDI from Event I here for $25.

        Decent run there.

        Next time, try a lighter M5 Sedan or M6 Coupe. Then let's see the results.

        Reminder: Don't bounce on Rev limiter when you start!

        I've been previewing the .divx version the past couple days. This second video is substantially more entertaining when compared to the previous video--much more action. I believe Gustav said it would be sent to Amazon over the next couple weeks.
