autoweek: E60m5 (versus) 612 scaglietti

it was not a direct comparison, but it was obvious to do so, just looking at the on paper numbers.

both battleships are going to be about 4000 pounds.

m5:
5.0 litre v10
500 hp (8500rpm redline)
369ft-lbs

612:
5.7 litre v12
525 hp
433ft-lbs

the ferrari 612 is expected to do the dance in 4.2 seconds.....anyone care to guess why they only project the M5 to do the dance in 4.7 seconds?
