Thanks for sharing.

The M5 slalom times are pretty nice for such a big and heavy car - looking forward to the next Sport Auto, which has the M5 in the supertest with a full set of numbers: and a test drive, of course.

:revs:

mm, 39m 100-0km/h? That doesn't sound supercar performance with brakes. Just for comparision, new A3 2,0TDI gets 38,2m 100-0km/h.

Of course it could be that their tarmac was smooth and that's why the result is bad, but..

Still.

You forgot to factor in something VERY important... Weight!

It really is amazing, isn't it? :bigeyes:

Between those two, I'm pretty positive I'd pick the M5...

No, I didn't. It's no excuse for a supercar to have bad brakes, even if it weights 10t. If you have weight, you need to add bigger brakes, otherwise there's no reason to add lots of power.

A car with 500bhp that takes more distance to slow down, than a 140bhp family-car? Right.

Braking distance of the M5 from 100km/u - 0 in <35m isn't bad :D

@QuattroFun,

Do you know when the new Sport Auto will be for sale in the stores?

[Yak]

Clio16V, check the other test, from first post. It gives both cars 39m.

I have seen that test, but in the test i posted the M5 scores a lot better...

[CRIMOR]

But isn't the new cls amg more Heavy of M5??? This isn't a correct confront...
