FYi...the times supplied by Euro car manufacturers are all 0-60 without any roll out.
Same...Typical euro magazine tests.
Sure any sensible car manufacturer is going to go to some lengths to ensure their test car is in perfect working order...but these days getting caught out in any sort of cheating would carry a high penalty so...
In past times certainly a few manufacturers (ooh look at that dancing black horse in that field) were renown for having cars loaned to journalists that produced acceleration figures way faster than customer cars could match.

I would have though 0-100mph is a better metric as is a laptime at the Nürburgring.

The F90 M5C at #88 has some good company.
