Many thanks to KTL for these graphs.

I have the permission to publish these interesting graphs from the owner of the MTM RS6-R and KTL who made the measurements and graphs

The RS6 is a sedan with an MTM 730 hp upgrade.

All measurements made at the same airfield, however at different times.

MTM RS6-R 730 hp

0-60 mph - 4.2 secs
0-100 km/h - 4.37 secs
0-200 km/h - 12.79 secs
0-250 km/h - 20.6 secs

100-200 km/h 8.43

As you can see in the graphs the Carrera GT spins out of control. BUT - it is interesting to see that the RS6 is STILL faster in the region 200 - 250 km/h!!!
8.33 seconds for the Carrera GT instead of 7.81 for the RS6.
I know these figures make no sense, however this is from real life but I wouldn't count on replicating it every time.

I've checked a few tests from AMS and 0-250 km/h is a tenth better than a stock Porsche 997 Turbo. A Dodge Viper SRT-10 needed 24.3 seconds.

The M3 PDK in the graphs has the following mods:
Hartge exhasut, no front cats, rear race cats, end exhaust Hartge.

And people say tuning doesn't help :hihi:

Let's discuss!

PS The difference between the two runs with the RS6 is soft launch in sports mode (first) and the gear level in manual with foot on the brake + power (second).
It's no secret that the manual + power brake is what you should use if you like to nail that win.

Fast, but straight line speed from a roll doesn't make for a good comparison!

Hi Klint, I don't think all these graphs are from rolling start. They are usually from standstill.

Otherwise it would be hard to get 0-100 km/h - 4.37 secs...

Erik, missed read the post - apologies! Fast car for sure. Would be interesting to compare lap times side by side!
