Actually the Motor Trend link you posted was for the E63. Good vid though.

I like Jeremy Clarkson's description of the AMG C63 in the vid below..."This is actually an ax murderer with headlights."

AMG detuned the 6.2 to 451 hp in the C63, but that's has been rectified by the aftermarket. They get 445 rwhp with simple bolt on mods.

In the same vid they also tested the Audi RS4 and the BMW M3 coupe in Spain at a great track.

Very funny stuff with the Stig in part 2 testing all 3. First though he does a lap in Emerson Fittapaldi's F1 Lotus that won the world championship in '72.





In a later episode of Top Gear after testing a M3 sedan and a Lexus 5.0 IS-F, Clarkson says the M3 does everything excellently. For him though the C63 was the most fun to drive...

"It's not a car, its a complete animal!"

"You don't really drive this car, you cling on for dear life!"
