Bravo Mercedes, that looks great and a worthy competitor to the new M3 both on looks and specs on the paper at least!!! I would dare to say that makes the new M3 look plain and the RS4 simple A4 Sport !! :shock:

It's the first time IMO that an AMG version looks meaner when compared to an M version of the same range(bmw M3). We will have to wait for the four door M3 to come out and see the result of the battle. The engine specs of the C63 sound very promising and it seems that the M3 will have a hard time when it comes to pure straight line speed, but its almost logical to expect that the M3 will be the one which will offer the most thrilling experience. Generally it looks GREAT in all pictures,especially in the front view

I like the agressive look of C63. With those horses it should ditch the direct competitors.
Actually none of the 63 AMG:s have more than 525 horses. You propably have it confused with the twin-turbo 65 AMG.

You are right about that we are getting spoiled with serious amount of power nowadays.

Only problem I have with C63 is the interior, I dont like it all. the exterior I love but the sidemirrors could have been smaller though.

4-doors M3 is getting a rawer look than the coupe various sources claim.

they've done really well with this car, autocar magazine say that it performs brilliantly, and being able to completely switch off the esp in combination with gr8 handling = magnificent drifts. i cant wait to see it on the streets and keiichi tsuchiya drifting it round somewhere like the tsukuba race track...well done mercedes :good:
