I'm quite surprised that the M5 CS is getting beaten again by the manual Cadillac CT5-V Blackwing.

Me neither since C&D is the magazine :)

If you delve a little deeper into the article, C&D mention that all BMW's came with just the one set of tires. The M5 CS had to utilise that one set over the course of three days which equated to a limited number of laps. A second set and more laps...who knows.

The Panamera's blistering lap came down to a little Porsche magic and more importantly super sticky Michelin Cup 2 rubber.

It also lost in a direct comparison from Hagerty Icons (Jason Cammisa and Randy Pobst).

That is true but I actually thought that the limited and ultra expensive AWD DCT halo-M5 would just kill the much cheaper and manual Cadillac CT5-V Blackwing which is "just" the normal model and not a special lightweight-version like the CS is.

True. I would like to see more comparisons, particularly on tracks like Bedford and Hockenheim. An independent Sport Auto Supertest around the 'Ring driven by CG would also be very welcome.
