1:28.35 - Maserati Quattroporte
1:29.95 - BMW E60 M5
1:30.11 - Mercedes-Benz C55 AMG
1:34.60 - Chrysler 300C 5.7
1:35.50 *Damp - Mercedes-Benz CLS55 AMG
I think the Quattroporte is doing very well among these sedans... It's heavy (1970kg) and it has 'only' 400bhp. However, its prowess at the track sacrifices its practicality on the road. The gearbox is the main concern here.

In that regard, cars like the RS4 and the M5 offer a better balance of sport and practicality.
