We’ve finally got the new BMW M5, and it’s going head-to-head with its closest rivals – the Audi RS6 and the AMG GT 63 S 4-Door!

The BMW M5 may have come in for a fair bit of criticism since it was unveiled, but is it justified? It’s time to hit the track and find out! So let’s start off with a look at the stats…

Starting with the M5, it’s powered by a 4.4-litre twin-turbo V8 coupled with an electric motor. These combine to produce 727hp and 1,000Nm, and this power is sent to all four wheels via an 8-speed automatic gearbox. The car weighs in at 2,435kg, and as new it costs around £111,000.

Alongside it, we have the Audi RS6 Performance. This comes with a 4-litre twin-turbo V8 that can produce 630hp and 850Nm of torque. This is sent to all four wheels via an 8-speed automatic gearbox, and it tips the scales at 2,075kg. A new RS6 Performance costs from £116,000.

Then finally we have the AMG GT 63 S four-door. It also has a 4-litre twin-turbo V8, producing 639hp and 900Mm. This is sent to all four wheels via a 9-speed auto, weighing in at 2,135kg. A second-hand 2019 version of the GT four-door costs around £70,000, but a brand-new one costs around £156,000!
