Sportauto supertest BMW M6

[TheHawk]

Tested car was equipped with Pirelli Corsa (i.e. sport tires) which are not available as an option to customers. The car still had the speed limit of 259kph installed (The question is why? If they even mounted tires which cannot be ordered as OEM equipment...)

Hockenheim (with Corsa tires): 1:14,4
Hockenheim (with regular tires): 1:15,9
NBR (with Corsa tires, regular time not available): 8:09

0-200 kph: 12.8 secs (seems they selected the tested car properly...)

sportauto claims that the M6 with regular tires but without the 259kph-limit would probably do around 8:09 on the NBR as well.
