Very impressive for such a heavy car. Better then most cars that are over 500lbs lighter.
Let's see CS version

Impressive and equally is the 992 with "only" 450hp running even faster.

Figures aren't that impressive and not sure other numbers are accurate
The 911 turbo s is 7:17 round the ring A Giulia Quadrifoglio is also quicker than the M5 I think Amg Gt s 4d is 7:25 - faster Etc. It isn't fast enough in my view for the money... Screenshots attached

Don't some manufacturers like Mercedes or Lamborghini have the drivers drive the wheels off the car to get the times?

Isn't there an M5CS coming out soon? Impressive numbers for all cars on that list. The one I'm most astounded by is the 992. 450hp and RWD only, incredible! Can't wait to see what the 2021 C8 Vette Z06 puts down. If it will exceed the 992 or not, especially since both cars will have similar "as tested" prices.

The 7:30 992 time was also Sport Auto, but regular P Zeros like the M8. Of course, on the 992 they're dealing with about 1000lbs less in weight. Edit: That Turbo S also looks like it has lightweight bucket seats, a rear seat delete and...whatever that bar/brace is. *and is the Mercedes time, not Sport Auto.

I still think BMW missed the point with M8, I still think this M8 should've been M6 and M8 should've been 500kg lighter much faster Supercar, looking at the times, I'm more impressed with how great M5 is, I think M8 should be much much faster than M5.

Impressed by the M8 time, more impressed with the 992 Carrera S, trick tyres or have Porsche really moved the game on?
