Sweet... but Sabine Schmitz would have been faster, and more fun to watch driving that lap! And it's a shame the speed indicator was lost on the back straight where they always top-out on speed. Looks like 35 seconds slower than the GT R.

agree. If this car is driven by professional, then I can see the time can be shaved by another 10 seconds, perhaps ??

Nothing found, I would imagine somebody will do one when the new M5 (aka facelift of a facelift ... LOL) does it thing and then MB may step up to challenge the time set by the new M5

LOL I hear you on the FL of an FL... the F90 M5 looks like an enlarged M3 or just an iteration of the F10. Its too bad because Ive loved M's equally to AMG but now AMG has me sold. Alot of the loyal guys over at M5Post are really chattering about jumping over. I cross pollinate often LOL.

The driver of the E63 is Christian Gebhardt, the same guy who drove the AMG GTR at 7:11, so I think he knows how to drive LOL!!

Also, I believe he used to race professionally.

Ahhh well they can do a lot better . He may know how to drive but hes far from a Master at the Ring.

His career as a racer isn't to impressive either.

Watch the video; he did a poor job in the corners, missing apex in a number of cases. No doubt he hauled a** around the track, but could have shaved some time IMO
