Car and driver have tested the car.

0-60 2.8
0-100 6.6
0-130 10.9
0-150 15.9

Pretty impressive numbers the 0-100 mph is very impressive.

Sweet Jesus.

So for context, my M5 will be doing 60mph when the new one hits 100mph.

What's this got to do with very fast cars? I've never owned a car that gets to max power in 3rd below 70mph. Probably about 85 is normal. Even my wife's pug 107 would have been over 80.

Any petrol car that does must have absurdly short gears.

Yes I don't see what having mega power has to do with it given it's always going to be down to gearing.

The f80 m3 comes close, as max power in 3rd comes in at just 71mph with DCT.

Haha, but about 3 seconds later you'll be in Police VBRJ territory.

I love 4th in the DCT F80. 30mph to 120mph odd in one gear.

[Welshbeef]

Does anyone have max speeds for each gear or the gearing ?

I think we will see 5.5 seconds to 100mph and 150 in under 10 seconds

Quicker than the original Veyron then. Perhaps one day, but I don't think they'll do it for the next gen.

Yeah that is good gear, good for 132mph.

How long can it deploy full power for?

Ha! For some reason I was led to believe it was a hybrid

What about 3rd 30-108mph 😜.


Also 7th 30-120mph WOT can an owner give a comparison as to what car that rate of acceleration feels like - as in 4th fear for another car.
I’m guessing E92 M3?

Not sure what that means, but you won't get the M5 into 7th at 30mph it's geared for over 250mph in 7th.

What’s the lowest speed you can engage 7th?

Or say 6th the. From 30-120mph what car does that feel like?

You're not alone...

Interested to know what doing the big pull (30-120mph) in the F10 M5 in a tall gear compares to which performance car in 4th gear?

Pretty clear question - if you don’t know fair enough.

I’ll figure out the former on the way to the station tomorrow. Not so sure on the latter though

Can't comment on the DCT boxes as I've never owned one but SMG3 you can absolutely be in 7th at 30mph, step down to fifth occurred at 27mph in mine.

I'm just imagining.....................pootling along at 40mph and flooring it in my old F10 resulted in crazy thrust so long as it was dry

What the hell must this one be like doing the same? I have no desire to own one of these now, but a cheeky test drive might be in order

If it's dry and you have no traction issues , the f10 must be almost as quick as the new one surely from 40mph ? They have around the same power and weight . The difference is off the line where the 4wd allows a massive traction advantage
