Given a choice, most of us will pick the powerful sports car over
a sensible basic car to get from point A to B. Both vehicles can get us there, but the probability of an accident before arriving at point B is greater in the sports car....
That such a mode is no longer the default is a symptom of a
car that now produces 592bhp in its
basic form, and 553 lb ft. Given the previous M5 struggled to contain its lesser outputs, all - wheel drive seems
sensible.
