1st test > 400 Meter Run


1. BMW M5---------------------> 0'12,551
2. Audi RS6---------------------> 0'12,966
3. Jaguar S Type R--------------> 0'13,058
4. Mercedes Benz E55 AMG------> 0'13,246
5. Crysler 300C Hemi------------> 0'13,994
6. Alfa Romeo 156 2.5 V6 24V---> 0'16,579


Summary

This was a piece of cake for the BMW. Despite that the Audi has 4WD, but compared to the BMW it has a lot of weight. The Jaguar was really smooth to drive and had a some good gear changes. With the Merc its like the Audi, it has a lot of power but the weight stops it while the Crysler is very sloppy and slow and the so is the same for the Alfa, but this car is a little bit underpowered.

2nd test > 1000 Meter Run


1. BMW M5---------------------> 0'22,312
2. Mercedes Benz E55 AMG------> 0'23,640
3. Audi RS6---------------------> 0'23,647
4. Jaguar S Type R--------------> 0'23,990
5. Crysler 300C Hemi------------> 0'25,153
6. Alfa Romeo 156 2.5 V6 24V---> 0'29,390


Summary

Like the first test the BMW was really fast but the Mercedes Benz and the have almost the same times were as you come to the Jaguar, you dont see much of the gear changes and his good mechanicel grip, while the Crysler and the Alfa closing down the pack


3rd test > Top speed Run


1. BMW M5---------------------> 324 km/h
2. Mercedes Benz E55 AMG------> 306 km/h
3. Audi RS6---------------------> 301 km/h
4. Jaguar S Type R--------------> 274 km/h
5. Crysler 300C Hemi------------> 274 km/h
6. Alfa Romeo 156 2.5 V6 24V---> 236 km/h

Summary

The BMW blew everyone away with his V10 engine, while the Mercedes Benz still could go any further but their wasn't enough track left. The audi had a good run too, while the Juaguar and the Crysler struggling to get 274 km/h
and the Alfa way down behind the pack.


Conclusion

Well as you can see, the BMW blew away the competition. The Mercedes Benz and the Audi are almost matched to each other. the Jaguar had some good points too like his grip and acceleration but lack of speed. The Crysler sucks big time as well for the Alfa Romeo.

 

[nightmarish_car]

yeah BMW rules.. not only performance wise but looks also.. nice read and stats

 

[KiwiBoy]

maybe you could post the time required to stop the car from 60mph. From my memory, the E55 AMG has really good brakes but it takes a long time for it to stop because of it's massive weight.

 

[Gumball-AMG]

bmw en benz are the best
nice done 👍

 

[SlowlyButSurely]

i must say i was a tad surprised to see the alfa included in the list!

 

[G.T]

i must say i was a tad surprised to see the alfa included in the list!

Yeah, same here. The cars against the Alfa are in another league. Nothing surprising there.

Other than that, interesting test. I'd say they're pretty close to real life results, with the M5 dominating everything, the E55 not being that far behind and the 300C one of the slowest because of its medicore engine and weight.

Edit: Just noticed. Hasn't the S-Type R got 400bhp and 408lft lb of torque in real life? Seems not in GT4......

 

[GM]

I would'nt class the Alfa as a Hot/Luxury Sedan, but still, a great report 👍
IMO the BMW M5 is more on the Supercar side than Luxury Sedan

You apparently used the wrong information because you listed a 1997cc V8.

 

[G.T]

Odd, it's the same in the Wiki too, hence why I thought it was wrong...

I must change that.

 

[Eric.]

All of my information is from GTVault.
