The price is around $ 132,000 (£ 99,565).

The BMW M5 CS is powered by a 4.4-liter twin-turbo V8 engine with 635 hp (467 kW) and 553 lb-ft (750 Nm) of torque. As the lightest of all four models (1,825 kg), it reaches 62 mph in 3 seconds with a top speed of 189 mph (305 kph). It has an eight-speed gearbox and all-wheel drive. It costs about $ 185,000 (£ 140,000).

The Audi RS6 is powered by a 4.0-liter twin-turbo V8 engine with 600 hp (441 kW) and 590 lb-ft (800 Nm) of torque. It has an eight-speed automatic gearbox and AWD. Weighing 2,075 kg, it reaches 62 mph in 3.2 seconds with a top speed of 190 mph (306 kph). It costs about $ 130,000 (£ 98,280).

The Porsche Panamera Turbo S is powered by a 4-liter twin-turbo V8 engine with an electric motor that delivers a total of 700 hp (515 kW) and 627 lb-ft (850 Nm) of torque. It is the heaviest of all four cars (2,365 kg), reaching 62 mph in 3.2 seconds with a top speed of 196 mph (315 kph). Power is transmitted to all wheels via an eight-speed automatic PDK gearbox. It costs about $ 191,000 (£ 144,930).

At 1/4 mile in “zero to hero” acceleration, the BMW M5 CS proved to be the fastest with 10.9 seconds. Second place went to the Porsche Panamera Turbo S with 11.3 seconds, slightly slower was the Mercedes AMG E63 S with 11.4 seconds, while the Audi RS6 was last with 11.7 seconds.
