1st place - Audi A7 Sportback 3.0 TFSI quattro (520/650 points, 80 %)
The A7 won the test thanks to its great (but thirsty) kompressor-engine, its suberb traction and handling.
Power, torque: 300 hp, 440 Nm
Gearbox: 7-speed-double-clutch (S-tronic)
Weight: 1919 kg
Tyres: Bridgestone Potenza S001 (255/40 R 19 Y)
Vmax.: 250 km/h
0-40 km/h: 1,5 s
0-100 km/h: 5,9 s
0-160 km/h: 14,0 s
0-200 km/h: 23,9 s
Quarter mile: 14,0 s
18 m slalom: 63,8 km/h
110 m ISO evasive test: 135 km/h
Braking 100-0 km/h (warm): 36,6 m
Braking 190-0 km/h (cold): 126 m
Average fuel consumption: 12,7 l/100 km
Basic price: €60.550,-
2nd place - Mercedes-Benz CLS350 Blue Efficiency (506/650 points, 78 %)
Sportiness in the CLS is secondary. High-level comfort, great ergonomy and a powerful, yet relatively economical V6-engine are its real strength.
Power, torque: 306 hp, 370 Nm
Gearbox: 7-speed-automatic gearbox
Weight: 1748 kg
Tyres: Pirelli P Zero (285/30 R 19 Y)

Average fuel consumption: 11,6 l/100 km
Basic price: €64.617,-
3rd place - Porsche Panamera PDK (471/650 points, 72 %)
With the 300-hp-V6 the Panamera is not really what you call 'Porsche'.
The last place's caused by the high costs and high fuel consumption. Strange to say, but this time the Porsche is the slowest on the straight line.
