I won't make you wait any longer:
1ST PLACE
AUDI S6
Effortless V-10 power, unfailing quattro stability, supreme comfort and style. Frankly, far more entertaining to drive than we expected. Makes $74K seem like a bargain.
2nd PLACE
BMW M5
Enjoy race-car moves-if, that is, you can deal with the cyborg interface. The Terminator sedan for those who like to tweak and fiddle.
3rd PLACE
MERCEDES-BENZ E63 AMG
What Zeus would drive. Fast, rowdy, thunderously powerful, though a bit of a blunt instrument compared with 1 and 2. The choice for rocketing across Germany at V max.
If you take a look at the data panel you will see that the Audi S6 was not the quickest in the straight-line but did have the best braking and handling; edging out both the M5 and the E63.
This test would not be complete without some track action and once again the results are surprising.
"A master of momentum-management, the S6 posted a lap time just one tenth of a second behind the almighty M5 (on our shorter, tighter Figure Eight test, the S6 won handily)."
"You'd love the E63 on the autobahn, but around the track and in the Figure Eight, it finished a distant third."
