Hmm - unfortunately I don't speak any Russian.
But I think even if I would … I hadn't watched the entire video.
First few minutes seeing this gangster/mafia style dude were already enough ...

Very comprehensive test they measure their weight and power.

You missed out , they have great in depth videos. You could have selected the translation Russian to English. They one of my favourite YouTube channels.

Holy crap and here we are thinking the M5 is a heavy beast....

...but welcome to the wonderful world of Mercedes, where they take an E class, add a few hundred kilos, and call it a REAL AMG car.

To be fair they did mention that the M5C is a fully loaded example with a tow hitch and a full tank of gas. General measured weight of the M5C is the lowest 1890kg and the highest 1922kg no where near 2000kg. It’s by far the lightest car in its class.

Below is the measured weights of the M5 from magazines.

 

[Karabiner98k]

It is not only M5C which is measured higher than normal in this video, but the GT63 is also 100kg more than what was measured by Autobild Sportscars (2078 kg).

The weight includes a dozen of Kalashnikovs in the trunk.

 

[Abbat]

According to that russian test, both manufacturers lie.
Merc has 694 hp, 984 NM.
M5 - 705 hp, 830NM.
Real numbers.

Russians.....

Russians.....

The method of checking the real weight of these guys is far more superior, than the one used in the German media- in which they weigh first one axle and than the other.

Are you saying they first measure each axle than combine them for a total measurement? That would be less accurate... do you have any writing or video that shows that method?

Yes, they use two small scales and not four. There are videos explaining how they test the cars in which this procedure is shown. The scales are about 50 mm in height and with a wheelbase of 2500 mm this creates 2% inclination that influences the weight, because of slight shifting of the mass towards the other axle.

Well, if their results is different than all the other magazines it seems they are doing something wrong, no?

Do you have these videos would be interesting to watch.

984Nm is a lot of torque for a 4.0 turbo.

 

[hovabongZA]

All that torque advantage is off set by the weight.

 

[WBarnes]

Maybe the weight includes the driver.

 

[WBarnes]

Those 0-100kph times are on the quick side.
