The Best C63 AMG Video Review Yet



This 2015 Mercedes AMG C63 video review from CAR magazine is just noise, emotion, and feeling all wrapped up into one tight little package.

Read the rest on the MBWorld homepage. >>

Great video and seems like another win for the C63. Summary seems to be the common theme for most reviewers.

LOL.....that guy seems to be struggling with this beast. I did notice that he opened with a comment about 4000 lbs. I'm sure its a guestimate. The good news is ended with a win for the C63S.

Vid keeps it honest... M3 is great at chassis and trans and c63 is the better engine

Drive both and then make your decision

And surprisingly, the C63 has been described as having better traction. The switch/upgrade to standard LSDs (mechanical and electronically-controlled), slightly wider tires, and Michelin PSS has paid dividends.

C63 has the better soundtrack/exhaust as well. I'm curious to compare the cars' steering "feels" back-to-back. With the F8X, you can find a nice weight; I like Comfort (predictable and easy to make quick corrections) and Sport; Sport+ feels artificially heavy and a bit twitchy, which can make reigning in oversteer tricky.

However, there really isn't much feedback going on. The lovely M steering wheel feels disconnected from the front wheels/tires. Gotta love electric steering.

The hydraulic steering in the W204 is sublime. I hope the switch to electric steering in the W205 hasn't compromised the feedback/response too much.

I agree Chris Harris goes a bit further into detail but Funf komma sechs is the best review by far. Two guys take the c63s for a 2 day trip and discuss everything from a to z. Downside it is mostly in German but the sound speaks for itself. It has the best split screen comparison between the regular exhaust and with the flaps open.

I agree...I sorta watched this one but it is loooooong and in German. If you only have two minutes of time available, go right to 13:23 and then watch until he's done providing a demonstration of "Beast Mode" which starts at 14:40.
