Automotorsport: M5 Touring vs E63 AMG T

[Just_me]

The E 63 T wins this test.

Best combination, an estate car with the perfomance of an high performance car and the comfort of a Mercedes.

M5 Touring:

Also as Touring this car is an absolutely sports car. But the comfort isn't that good and the boot is conspicuously smaller...

AMS think the seats in the M5 is more comfortable than E63, suspension stiffer though on the M5 but that is expected.

Also M5 Touring handle better than E63 according to AMS.

M5 /E63
0-100 4.7 s/ 4.6 s
0-160 10.1 s/ 9.9 s
0-180 12.2 s/ 12.4 s
0-200 14.8 s/ 15.3 s

Fuel Consumption L/100KM: 16.8 / 16.6

I don't like them either, but being the fastest breaks on the road gives it quite a cool image 8)

A "car" that has crept up on the Cayenne Turbos turf is the new Jeep SRT/8.

Yet another "budget" hotrod that has stepped inot the "euro" arena and turned out to be very wicked

I know what you mean RC but Cayenne Turbo buyers propably don't think twice about buying a JEEP. Not matter how good bang for the buck that is.

You would be surprised... and the normal Cayenne Turbo buyer would be more angered and embaressed by being beaten by a "cheap" Jeep SRT/8 than you care to admit - after all, the ego that goes with a big wallet sometimes is al that you see

6.1-liter Hemi 420 hp and 420 lb-ft 0-60 in 5.2 seconds, 60-0 in 120 feet Quarter-mile in 13.49 seconds

Add to that 0.95 G skippad and you have a very serious "SUV"
