Ohh... Gotta be one of the battles of the year

C63 quicker in acceleration and RS4 quicker around the track....

I see that the Merc is quicker around the track too, eventhough only by 0,1 sec.

I had hoped AMS would bring such a comparison first. Good that at least Sport Auto still is into spicy cars and does not focus solely on compacts and vans short tests .... (I am really annoyed by the "new" AMS management direction.)

Yes, they are on the same high level as they were, luckily.

Advantages of these cars on the track: C63- a lot of torque, RS4- intelligent AWD system.

As brutal as the C63 T is, the RS4 is just pure sex, when it comes to the design. Audi sure knows how to do sexy estates.

Looks = RS4
Engine note = C63
To own = RS4

I wish Audi and Mercedes would sell these cars here in the U.S. The Audi is the better looker, but the AMG motor is my pick under the hood.

^+1.

That 6.2L is something else, its mightn't reach the dizzy heights of the Audi unit but its got serious grunt EVERYWHERE.

IMO the C63 looks miles more aggressive than the RS4..and of course there's the M156 jewel under the hood!
