British car show Fifth Gear compared both the BMW M3 GTS versus the Mercedes-Benz C63 AMG Black Series. Both Germans sports car are compared by ex-F1 driver Mika Salo and Jason Plato. Check out episode six of season 21 below, which aired two weeks ago. Make sure you watch it til the end, there is a surprise for true petrolheads in the episode!

Just a recap. The C63 AMG Coupé Black Series is based on the Mercedes C-Coupé (C204) and designed for enthusiasts who are passionate about sports cars which are big on horsepower. Besides the spectacular and wide bodied styling the Black Series offers a 6.3 liter V8 engine producing 517hp at 6,800rpm and 620Nm at 5,000rpm. The ultimate AMG accelerates from zero to 100km/h in 4.2 seconds.

The BMW M3 GTS was produced at the BMW M GmbH manufacturing facility. In addition to a larger and more powerful 4.4 liter V8 engine up to 450hp, tuning of the seven-speed M Dual Clutch Transmission with Drivelogic and modified suspension technology, the sports car is designed for club sport use and specifically optimized with regard to aerodynamics and lightweight construction.

The F40 vs Countach comparison in the middle of the episode is epic

Glad we're finally getting this show back in the USA (on TV). I like Tiff and Vicki, and Jason is good too.

Although I thought the SLS, Jag XKR-S and Aston episode premise was pretty stupid.

Haven't seen this episode yet, thanks for the heads-up.
