still the Maser is the prettiest!
it would be my choice

Thanks for the scan TT.
I didn't read the whole article I think I will try to read it tomorrow for sure. But I looked at the lap times and its lae and I dont get things right at the moment. Maserati got the same time what M5 did?

[RAMMIUS]

^^^yes , it got the same time , what`s so hard to understand ????

it has better balance, transaxle principle, better breaks

I also find it a bit hard to understand. The Maser is overweight and underpowered compared to the M5. Not so sure what you mean when you say that the Maser has better brakes. It has the smallest discs front and rear in this group and the only one not to have cross-drilled discs.

Thank you TT for the review, Will save it to the HD and read straight after my last exam on saturday!!! :mrgreen:

again , read the previous EVO issues and you`ll find out how good the brakes are on the M5 & M6 :lol:

overweight and underpowered compared to M5 , but better balanced in terms of weight distribution front/rear 47%-53% :wink:

So 100 kg heavier , and 107 hp less than an M5 , and STILL the same time around a track , what an awesome driving machine that Quattroporte :twisted:

Then it's a very good car. More weight and less power but as quick as this hi-tech hynday looking M5. I like this QP very much, it looks good and goes good too.
And it was desinged and engineerd by Ferrari, so it is sort of a 4 door Ferrari:)

"...lapping in the worst of rain..." -Maybe that's why the M5s time got so bad? But I've have to say, that Maserati, what a machine!! :shock:

second last scan, bottom right.

[numerouno]

Thanx an bunch TT :)
QP's an awesome machine :good:

The BMW and the Maserati are faster than the Merc, but the AMG wins the comparison.....

[Fleischmann]

Could anybody scan the DB9 sports pack article ?? I'm quite sure it's in the same edition of the Evo mag.

Great read as usual, though I don't really see how the Merc can win the comparision.

[RAMMIUS]

^^^ :? this is the wierdest article ever, from Evo :bah:
