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!
