Driven c63 AMGs at Bathurst at 250KMH
Just back from the AMG Experience at Mt Panorama Bathurst. I was lucky enough to drive the entire AMG range, but the highlight was the laps in the C63.
I cant wait now to get my new one! This car is epic and it handles as well as anything i have owned before (M5's)
If you are sitting on the fence. Order one - Your'e a long time dead...

Had same wonderful experiences at Bathurst race track AMG day..
My personal observations & experiences
1/. Across the mountain & down the straight, where halfway down the 250k/h cutout kicked in, the A45 felt most at ease & quickest.Not enough torque going up the hill.
2/. Up the hill the 430kw AMG e63 had the legs & very impressive.
3/.Overall the C63S was the most at ease over the whole track.
4/. IMPO the GTS felt wide & luxurious & did everything right until, as the journo from Motor.com stated, going up the hill over the high speed hump at 240k/h the front end moved around when unloaded. IMPO you would never get the chance to duplicate this on the road. He said the C63s was similar but i could never get it to do it. I would definitely buy the C63S especially if it could be tuned to have the torque of the AMG E class.Then it would be the ultimate Bathurst machine.
