F10 M5 Beats Panamera Turbo S from a roll

BIMMERPOST
     Featured on BIMMERPOST.com
Have it on very good authority that the testing has been done, and the new M5 soundly beats the best Panny from a roll. Certainly not from a stop though - that 4wd with launch control means about 4x the initial traction.

Once on the hwy though, the M5 should be the true king of luxury sedans. Kind of surprised that the extra $70K for the Porsche wouldn't get you a bit more straight-line speed. Or the M5 is just truly a beast.

To be honest I find that hard to believe. Soundly beats it means by car lenghts. Pan S is a low 3 second car to sixty out of the hole and I know a roll is completely different but beating it soundly I doubt it.

OK, it would depend on how long you kept rolling. But they are both about 13 second 0-200 kph cars. The Panny does that by beating the M5 by .2-.4 tenths out of the hole because of the 4wd. Once you get traction, the M5 is the quicker car and will pull away.

The panamera is a much more track-focused (and expensive) car so it's not surprising it's faster around a track. The M5 is the same as an M5 always has been, big fast sedan that doesn't embarass itself on a racetrack. Something is always faster, and for most of its life since the mid '80's the M5 hasn't been the fastest 4-door around a racetrack. That's not the point.

A Panamera with AWD more track focused than a M5? Both are (way too)heavy pigs, my friend and the M5 beats the Panamera Turbo by a whole second on the Nordschleife.
