Very interesting video. Thanks!

The RS6 seems to be the faster - but they are VERY even.

The extra 50 hp and torque my friend had in his RS6 Avant (Hohenester) when I raced an M5 on the autobahn made it SO MUCH easier to win. And in the E55 I was driving it was not even hard

[avdh]

To me it looks as if the M5 was faster, not the RS6.

In which case the RS6 must have been sick, becuase I can't beleive that a standard M5 can equal a supposively 500 bhp RS6, but then again I have seen an MTN RS6 be slower than a standard RS6....

Also it seems the RS6 was limited to 271, whereas neither of the bimmers were,....... hmmmmm....

This is an external link - out of my control.
I have it on my hard drive but I have no ftp to upload it to - and the video is not mine. Copyright is probably not a problem, but I try to avoid breaking copyright rules whereever I can.

I hurried and I saw. Thanks very much. Obviously the 'test' was just a fun test and not hugely scientific, but it seems to that the 500ps M5 will be a handful for any RS6 owner. I quite like the CSL, for if this test was at the 'Ring, the CSL would no doubt be the fastest.

Three things could have happend here:
1. Alot of heat soake
2. M5 was modded
3. RS6 wasnt modded

there is no way an M5 could be fater then a chipped RS6 when the rs6 is running full power

Yeah ! yeah I second your points 2 and 3

Why was the speed of the supposively 500 bhp RS6 limited to 271 km/h?, simply becuase it was standard and for all we know the DV's might have packed up....

Looks like an early morning run on the autobahn.
Gotta love it
That CSL is fast

The M5 we raced didn't have a chance.
But it was easier to beat it in the E55 AMG than in the RS6 Hohenester.

Finally downloaded this and the outcome really doesn't make any sense given the "stated" players.

And I have to say, still not comfortable seeing this stuff on public roads.

I think the M5 was doing very good considering the RS6 had 500 MTM HP.

I think everything was handled in a very nice way, it even looked legal
