[scans] AMS: Mercedes C 63 AMG - TEST - 10-24-2007, 10:23 AM

First of all, the test everyone is waiting for...

It only gets 4 of 5 stars - the fuel consumption is to high (average of 15,7 litre / 100m)!

I expected the car's straight line performance to be a little more vibrant. Not that it isn't mind-crushing as it is, but 0-100 km/h in 4.7? On the other hand, the 0-200 km/h time is a great deal faster than what AMS achieved with the E92 M3 (expectedly though) - 15.7s versus 16.7s respectively.

I do realize it's the C63's first test though. Will definitely wait for more tests.

Thanks ree.

I don't think anyone buying this car really cares about fuel economy. Just like someone who buys a Ferrari doesn't give a damn about comfort. AMS has a habit of criticizing some aspects that buyers in certain classes most likely don't really care about.

Reading the review at home right now. My AMS always comes late...

The engine can cope with that extra weight.

Plus this means good high-speed stability on the Autobahn - a place where many C63 AMG drivers will be enjoying this car.

I don't have the RS4 test, right now - but of what I can remember, the RS4 got 5 stars and the M3 got also 5 stars (and the fuel consumption was measured with 15 L / 100km)!


OMG...

...just compared both tests:

M3 costs 66650 € - comment of AMS: + fair price
C 63 costs 67235 € - comment of AMS: - high price

so the stars are based on fuel consumption?

Yeah, just noticed that. Didn't know it weighed so much. That is a good 350 lbs on the M3, that's got to take a toll at the track.
