Off the line, the M5 Touring hits 100 km/h in 3.55 s versus 4.03 s for the S6 Avant e-tron. At this point, the M5 Touring leads by 0.48 s and sits roughly 4 m ahead.
At 200 metres, the M5 Touring is doing 165 km/h against 150 km/h for the S6 Avant e-tron. The gap is 0.48 s. The gap remains stable from the start.
At 400 metres standing start, the M5 Touring crosses the line in 11.38 s versus 12.29 s. The 0.91 s gap represents roughly 46 m of track — a gap visible to the naked eye.
Past 400 metres, the M5 Touring continues to build its lead. At 600 metres, it runs at 232 km/h versus 206 km/h. At 1,000 metres, the M5 Touring finishes in 20.40 s versus 22.44 s, with a 2.04 s lead.
Both rivals are electronically governed, but not at the same level: the M5 Touring is capped at 305 km/h, the S6 Avant e-tron at 240 km/h. This isn’t a physical engine limit — it’s a manufacturer choice, usually for tyre safety or homologation reasons. Neither car reaches its true aerodynamic top speed.
With two electric powertrains, the difference comes down to power-to-weight ratio (3.29 kg/hp vs 4.30 kg/hp) and transmission (Automatic vs auto).
In European road use (130 km/h max), both vehicles reach the legal speed limit in under 6.10 seconds. The 0.48 s difference in 0 to 100 km/h is mostly felt in motorway merging and overtaking.
Swap one of the two models to explore an equivalent duel in the same segment.
