Not true. Not from the ground up. They started with an E63S Wagon and upgraded it. I've seen the car in person and the similarities are striking. If they built it from the ground up it would be a lot lighter.
That said it is an impressive car. I do like it. I'd rather buy a Panamera Turbo S for this kind of money though. |
Hmmm, well I haven't seen any official correspondence on that but I'll take your word.
Either way, a 4,500lbs 4 seat car that puts down a 7:25s at the Ring is baffling.
I'm still hoping the rumors about an M5 CS are true. Don't know if that'll beats 7:25s though.
But the fact is that the GT63S comes with 630hp from the factory, just a matter of time before we see a 4-seat sports sedan that puts out 700hp from the factory. The new RS7 will probably come close to that.
