  1. +Yung Dro The C63 S Sedan won't have a chance, its competition is the M3. The C63 S Coupé on the other hand is quicker than the C63 S Sedan and is a highly controversial topic on the M4 forum.

  2. ***** The Coupé isn't the same in terms of acceleration. It's got a shorter final drive, making it a coupe milliseconds faster. Here are the  other things which have been changed. "Underpinning the new C63 Coupé is a heavily reworked version of the C-Class Coupé’s chassis featuring a four link front and multi-link rear suspension. It receives new steering knuckles, wider tracks, a unique rear axle carrier which moves the contact surface of the rear wheels 25mm outwards of that of the C63 saloon and estate, stiffer elastokinematics and greater negative camber. The dampers are adjustable in three stages at the press of a button. " steerj07 Yes, the current C63 S is faster, I'm talking against CP.

  3. +Filipe Fernandes The P85D doesn't compare with these cars. Much more expensive.

  4. ***** The P85D is 30-40k more depending on options.

  5. ?? I'm talking about the BMW and Merc. The P85D costs 30-40k more compared to the Merc/BMW.

  6. I'll use pounds since its where the video is made. C63S £66,000 M4 £56,000 (not sure about this price but definitely less than 66k) 911 GTS £94,000 P85D £89,000 with options to match all other cars. Yes the 911 is more expensive but I'm talking about BMW and Mercedes.

  7. ***** The C63 S Coupé will be quicker than the C63 S Sedan no doubt, especially with the wider rear tyres. With wider rear tyres, I have no doubt it will be 0.1 to 0.2 faster than the C63 S Sedan/Estate. If my research is correct, there was no power difference in the previous generation M3. If there was this time, I bet it'd be minimal. If they do anymore, I hate to imagine what the car would be like with traction control off. They need to add wider rear tyres or perform a revision to LC.

  8. ***** It will obviously be quicker, the question is how they do it. On the M6/5 they added more HP for CP, but on the previous M3, they lowered it and did something to TCS. If they add HP to the M4 CP, they'll definitely need to adjust the traction systems, I thought the C63 spun tyres on launch. Also, where is the interview where AMG boss said no more 507 e.t.c for C63s?
