I'm surprised BMW hasn't posted an official time to beat the GT4D and Panamera Turbo S.

FWIW, we have a M8 Comp and had an W213 E63s. The M is the quicker car and more tunable at that but both have a high fun factor which is what matters to me. But both are porkers and too heavy to be home on the track.

As for the "not a real AMG" talk, if AMG says it's an AMG, it is an AMG

Just a journalist? That run was made by Christian Gebhardt, a race car driver and one that set numerous ring records, including the AMG GTR one. More or less that best non-factory driver around to validate the cars actual capabilities. This is the ring number I usually trust.

Fantastic run though for a large and heavy 4 door sedan that is not stripped. Especially in less than perfect weather…
