I believe some of the reviewers wrote that they were able to achieve sub 4.5 in 0-60 without launch control. I knew as soon as the specs were released that it may be conservative.

It will be the fastest accelerating but I am guessing after the 60 mark the m3 and m5 take over and start to walk away. The M5 is a BEAST above 100mph.

Would be great to see someone put the M cars to the test. X5M, M3, M5, M6, Z4M.

Whassup Will!

Current issue of Car and Driver actually. They played with a red X6///M without launch control. Zero to 60 in 4.3. Skid pad was 0.92 I believe.

Here's a link that rboosted provided. It says they did an informal test and that with launch control, it goes 0-60 in 4.1

Where do you see 4.1? I see 0-60 in 4.3 one of the reviewers (can't recall the affiliation) wrote that they achieved 0-60 in 4.2 without LC.

Will, take a look at the 'NOTES' section of the Car and Driver page 'x5GuyInLA' posted. Next to the "Shell" gas emblem.

If that time holds up in repeat tests, there are going to be some very pissed-off Cayenne Turbo S owners out there...
