Manufacturers 0-100kph times are probably done starting at idle. Auto mags beat the hell out of the car and report the fastest launch the car is physically capable of, then they adjust for temp, humidity, air pressure etc etc and might even get creative with rounding. One of the American car mags reported 6.2 for 0-60mph. 0-60 is worthless unless you compare cars as reported by the same journalist/mag as different publications can easily vary by a second or more.
