The '14 E63 S 4matic is rated at 585hp but the AWD may eat into that 28hp bump when run on a dyno. Many M5s have already dynoed well above that 500whp figure and may still dyno higher than the '14 E63, let alone any hp increase for the M5's competition package.
according to AMG website the E63 S-AMG 4matic is 4276 lbs

isnt the m5 was over 4300 ???
