I shiver to think what the M5 will be capable of. They're guessing it could break the 4.0 sec. 0-60 barrier.
Another thing is that as fast as the RS6 is, the E39 M5 actually runs it down at autobahn speeds. And stays even from a kickdown. This with less than 400 hp. I can't even imagine with 500hp.
I've got to give props to MB. Their quest for power is definitely being accomplished. And just think, the E55 AMG is still at a decent price point. BMW better hope their future performance doesn't come at a price premium.
Hate to say it but MB is definitely in the driver's seat.
