Why do they have more torque than BMW? 630 vs 520 (E AMG vs M5)..Obviously becuase of 6,2l engine (760iL has 6.0)..Im pissed

Wow, there are so many issues with your post....where to start?

Weight is the universal evil. It affects handling and acceleration. An engine's HP is one of several factors that determine performance. The other being weight and power delivery.

EU (I believe you are part of the EU no?), is mandating strict emissions standards and you cannot increase hp without increasing emissions.

Cars like the new RS6, current M5 / M6, AMG 63 / 65 are dead ends.
