It should be able to beat the M3 at most things, including cornering grip and thus entry speed, speed through the corner and exit speed all should be greater, all of which are great but if the RS6 is any indication of pricing then we can expect it to be at least 10% more than the equivalent M (europe prices) and probably a lot more in the US which is quite a sizable difference.

But none of the above really matter because the chances of us lot getting the RS5 is nil.
I doubt it will beat the M3 at any type of corner or handling. Unless they make significant modification to the suspenstion from the S5.
