New AMG C63 vs BMW M3 vs Audi RS4: DRAG RACE

It’s the one you AMG fans have been waiting for!

We’ve finally got our hands on the new Mercedes-AMG C63 S Estate, and it’s going head-to-head against its closest rivals - the BMW M3 Touring and the Audi RS4 Competition!

So let’s check out how the three compare. Starting with the AMG, it’s done the unthinkable and swapped the V8 for a 2-litre 4-cylinder turbo! This can produce 476hp, but fear not - there’s also an electric motor fitted to the rear axel that can produce 204hp, so as a result the new C63 produces 680hp and a colossal 1,020Nm! It’s equipped with a 9-speed automatic gearbox, it weighs in at a hefty 2,190kg, and it costs around £99,750.

As for the BMW, it’s packing the same 3-litre twin-turbo straight-six as found in the saloon. This puts down 510hp and 650Nm, sends power to all four wheels via an 8-speed automatic gearbox, and it tips the scales at just 1,865kg. It’s also a fair bit cheaper than the AMG, coming in at £88,800.

Then finally we have the limited-edition Audi RS4 Competition. It has the same 2.9-litre twin-turbo V6 as the regular car, and it still produces 450hp and 600Nm. Power is sent to all four wheels via an 8-speed automatic gearbox, and it’s both the lightest & cheapest car here, coming in at 1,745kg & £84,600 respectively.

So surely it has to be a walkover for the AMG, right? There’s only one way to find out… LET’S RACE!

I don't care how fast it is. The W206 C63 is a disgrace to the "63" nameplate.

Moment of silence for the V8 in the Mercedes

"yo bro i got a c63 " " DANG YOU GOT THE 6.2 OR 4.0 V8!" "uh i got the 2.0"

Only milk & juice comes in 2 liters!!!

[sergiode]

This is one of the 10 C63s that were ever sold 😂

[h.u.l.k.]

C63 with a 2 liter engine? 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
Waiting for the new Brabus C63 with a 100 mL engine with 600 BHP. 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣

[zemekiel]

2 litre inline-4? The whole point of the C63 is the glorious V8 sound!

[See.You.Soon.]

I cannot believe that, that C63 is heavier than my G12 2019 BMW 750Li with (almost) all the options!! Just insane to even think about it!

AMG u broke my heart with ur 4 cylinder 😢

[franki]

£100k for a four cylinder engine and 2.2 tonnes ? You have to be insane to buy one .

[eoinosullivan]

"what will win in a drag race --", the car Matt is in, always the car Matt is in.

[sudhikrishna]

4 cylinder single turbo with 476 horses is pretty impressive.. I think the best in class

[DFENS-dxns]

breaking news: 680PS win against 510PS and 450PS. Audi still holding up pretty good against the M3 and the hybrid abomination

[jontur]

There is close to zero sells reported for the W206 C63. Absolutely love that, no 63 without V8

Number plate of the C63 blurred for the safety of the owner.

that last race was “let’s see who’s engine will blow up feeding 30psi at 2k rpm”

The weight of that C class is insane. They lost their minds.

[Nick]

I’ll still have the Merc even if it were a 2 stroke.

Would be great to make the sound check rolling, we could hear the real sound
