Rs6 vs new Mercedes amg e63 s

[RS6chris!]

And There's no gear shifter.

It's a stalk like an indicator on the column.

If I wanted that I'd have bought an 80,s American sedan

Bit like the R8/Q7 etc. Can't recall the last fezza which actually had a shifter in an auto.

[RS6chris!]

Aye I suppose.....suppose I'm stuck in the past...

E63S 4matic isn't available over here, is it? Still looks like a Turkish airport taxi...

Have you been to Istanbul ATA recently, the little LPG powered robo-mowers they use would be shamed by a Reliant Robin !

Why does it sound so good as a twin turbo ??

That question is in my mind as well, I would say that Mercedes amg cars has very nice stock sound, even no need to change to aftermarket

This. AMG have never struggled in making their cars sound good. Does appear weird that with similar engine configs, Audi RS & BMW M don't do the same with their cars, but i guess it's AMG's tour de force & they're lacking in other areas (usually the interiors), although this new E63S does look quite the weapon.

I think Audi have now seen the light though. The new RS3, TT RS and R8 V10 all sound awesome. I've never heard a better sounding 5 cylinder engine.

The RS3 is quite a bit louder than the RS6 (when both equipped with Sports Exhaust).

I'd say that is just marketing: RS3 is for boyracers, RS6 is still fundamentally a family car. However, from the outside, the RS6 is far from quiet. A mate i was out with at the weekend went past me at WOT and he got shouted at by a member of public, and then questioned by police a few minutes later

We will see what kind of weapon is that, when it will drag race with Rs6

The saloon looks like a Rover 75/MG ZT from front doors back?

Yea thats true...

Added to which the E63, as with E & C-Class 4matics - including the GLC will suffer from the crabbing/jumping 'characteristic' that is p*****g off many RHD owners.

Glad I went for the RS6, I almost delayed my decision when it looked like the '63 would be launched early this year. Besides, I prefer analogue dials and the rest of the interior is rather garish too.
