The Placings

1st Place: BMW M6
The biggest car and most comfortable at the same time. Maintenance costs are within limits - as well as the fascination for the car, which is purely centered around the V10 engine.

2nd Place: Porsche 911 Turbo
The engine is brutal and pushes the Turbo into 2nd place. The comfort is good: never before has a Porsche been this comfortable.

3rd Place: Corvette ZO6
The best Corvette, beating the Gallardo and showing what it is capable off with its light-weight construction.

4th Place: Lamborghini Gallardo
The most expensive car in this comparison.



BMW M6
AMS wanted to know if this car is even a sports car. It's heavy, big and seems almost like a GT. The interior is big, the cockpit lacks emotion and the V10 is powerful. At 8250 RPM, the pistons travel a distance of over 20 meters / second. Acceleration is good, though the rear wheels sometimes have trouble putting all the power to the ground.

Lamborghini Gallardo
AWD should ensure an equal distribution of power to the ground. Indeed, it works faultlessly. Traction is excellent. Engine response isn't the best. Driving the car takes a lot of concentration because the steering wheel feel is heavy and so are the pedals. The Lambo got the worst fuel economy in our comparison. As a practical daily driver, the Gallardo fails miserably.

Corvette Z06
The Corvette ZO6 is a car for professionals. 637 Nm of torque are hard to control. On wet roads, the Corvette's ESP is overworked and cannot control the car: fun on the racetrack, but not on country roads. The V8 engine is rev-happy and somewhat conservative in terms of engine sound. On the plus side, the costs are low and the ZO6 was the cheapest car tested here.

Porsche 911 Turbo
The Porsche Turbo is another car with excellent traction. The fat rear tires and less-powerful torque numbers ensure a balanced traction. The Porsche Turbo is faster than the Corvette ZO6, until high speeds are reached. Here, the lighter Corvette with its brutal motor overtakes the German car. Steering precision is excellent. We found the Porsche 911 Turbo to be more comfortable than the BMW M6, despite the M6 offering more interior and luggage space and being the better long-distance driver.

Very interesting, in every UK test even the humble Carerra S beats the M6, so for AMS to find the M6 able to beat the Turbo I somehow find it very funny. There's no doubting it's acceleration, but when it comes to handling the M6 would definitely be bottom of this group.

What's your opinion of the times posted for the Gallardo, very slow and if I'm not mistaken no better than a RS4 which has 100hp less and 100Kgs more weight, is this an under the weather Lambo?

End results are pretty strange IMO. M6 the winner? Well... Ok, I guess.
Some of the translations from German are not correct. Gallardo won most points(10) in engine respons category. Also this yellow Gallardo was not performing well in acceleration test with another German mag so, Lambo sended new one(in Grigio Proteus). That one was way faster...
But, on the track Gallardo is much faster then M6 or 997 Turbo. Also little bit faster then Z06 on Hockenheim(Klein Kurs).

M6 1st? No way. The 911 would kick ass. And the Gallardo is defo not at full fitness.

Of course the TT is the best :king:

AMS is used to make full review meaning they also take into consideration useless rewarding points like consumption, trunk space, runing costs, etc. and this is the reason why the M6 comes out first.

This ranking has nothing to do with which is the best (super)car but which does all at the best average....

The Porsche is just :bow:

I have to admit that when comparing Audis with BMWs and Porsches we all usually say the Audi wins because it's the best allrounder so we should allow the M6 this victory based on our own rules..........:vhmmm: F#ck that, no way can we agree to an M6 winning any test, it was beaten hands down and should have come last.:dig:
