If you look at the 0-100km/h times, the Porsche has a 0.6 second advantage over the M5..

Then at 200 km/hr, it has the same advantage, 0.6 seconds. So basically the AWD gives the Porsche the lead to 100 km/hr and then it is dead even with the M5 from 100 to 200 km/hr.

How can that be if it weighs more and dynos less? The answer is that dynoing at the rear wheels and extrapolating to crank HP is completely bogus. That's obvious from this test. If the Porsche did make significantly less power and weigh more, it should be slower from 100-200 km/hr. And it isn't. QED.
