[LaArtist]

fawk i thought it was the new E63

 

[NarutoRamen]

Hmm...interesting. I wonder how the new E will do considering the RS6 is 2.1 seconds faster.

 

[Tarek]

The W211 still looks absolutely gorgeous..damn

 

[Mr Robert]

Good job by the 335i seeing as its not even an M-sport version.

 

[m-power]

The 335i is faster aroung the Hockenheim than the E63AMG
I wonder how fast the M5 does it

 

[Mr Robert]

I wonder how fast the M5 does it

I think SA posted times of about 1:16,5

 

[Zafiro]

The W211 still looks absolutely gorgeous..damn

Still looking better than the new E-class which is a mess.

 

[Giannis]

Very very impressive results from Audi!

 

[VroomVroom]

Impressive performance's from Audi

 

[Mr Robert]

Fast and dull, but then again, it is hard to make them any fun over 2 tons.

This pretty much confirms my impression:


Audi S4 / BMW 335i
Driving fun: 9 / 9 points

Audi RS6 / MB E 63 AMG
Driving fun: 6 / 5 points

 

[Tarek]

Still looking better than the new E-class which is a mess.

Actually while the W211 is gorgeous it looks really old next to the W212.

My choice is W212 for sure

Good job by the 335i seeing as its not even an M-sport version.

I doubt very much that the M-sport version would have made any material difference to the result.

In Australia the 335i M-sport (auto) sedan was pitted against the S4 and the S4 obliterated the BMW around the track. The S4 was in fact just off the pace of the M3 DCT sedan which is mighty impressive. The results are posted below.

Test conditions:

Location (Wakefield Park, Australia)
Elevation (652m)
Weather (cool and dry)
Surface (firm and smooth)

Racetrack results (2.2km) – Wakefield Park:

Audi (1.09.7), BMW (1.11.3) and Ford (1.10.9)

Other notable Wakefield Park track results:

BMW M3 M-DCT coupe (1.07.80)
Mercedes SL63 AMG (1.08.10)
BMW M3 M-DCT sedan (1.09)
Audi TTS coupe (1.09.3)
Mitsubishi Lancer Evo X (1.09.3)

The M suspension does make a bit of a difference, i mean you can even feel the difference just driving it normally. An E36 with a well matched springs/shocks can already waste standard cars out there. No idea why the above Aussie results seem to favour the S4 so much, maybe the guy can only drive awd?
