SportAuto M3 GTS Supertest Full Review (with Photos/Video) ==> http://www.sportauto-online.de/super...e-2206288.html
Nurburgring - 7:48
The September issue of the german publication Sport Auto has hit the stands today and contains several tests of the M3 GTS, including laps on the Nurburgring and Hockenheim tracks. The best time they were able to achieve with the M3 GTS was
7:48 on the Nurburgring.
Although this is a good time, most were probably expecting an even better lap time. This lap time is only 2 seconds faster than the E46 M3 CSL, showing just how good the CSL was in its time.
Other comparison times:
7:46 - Lamborgini Gallardo Superleggera
7:47 - Ferrari 599 GTB Fiorano
7:49 - Chevrolet Corvette C6 Z06
7:50 - Porsche 911 Carrera S (PCCB, PDK, Sport Chrono Plus, Michelin Cup tires)
Hockenheim - 1:12.5
The M3 GTS fared better at Hockenheim's shorter track as Sport Auto was able to run the M3 GTS in
1:12.5 minutes. For comparison, the standard M3 (Cup+) runs Hockenheim in
1:14.3 and the M3 Competition ZCP (PS2) does it in
1:14.2.
The E46 M3 CSL was good for
1:13.5 at Hockenheim.
Other comparison times:
1:12.0 - Ferrari 599 GTB Fiorano
