Sure, it can make up for it in the track, but will the new M5 be able to achieve the 3.3 second 0-60 time that C&D got with their Panamera Turbo?
True...however, i assume the Panamera's AWD is great for takeoff but will hinder performance at higher (track) speeds. With the M5's upcoming TT and new tech...this should be really interesting
