Great review (Top Gear cinematography gets better and better) and looks like a cracking car. Plus you get an IWC clock which is really cool.
New M5, C8 RS6 and this will be the trio test of choice when they're all released. All of them will be fantastic cars for sure.
Not sure if anyone's heard the AMG performance exhaust but it knocks the RS one (also a £1k option) into a cocked hat. Tried one on a C63S the other day and it sounded awesome.

It's not just power, which is going to harder to come by year on year with emission controls. The Merc is faster, sharper, dynamic and it can be looney. Looks and brand image aside, it sounds as though the E63S makes the RS6 a bit two dimensional.
No matter where you go, there you are.

True but we are talking about a comparison with a outdated platform. However, I hear what you saying but for me doing skids is not that important unlike Mr Harris, in that video.

I think the C8 will be a decent car and for most that's sufficient who buy into the RS way of doing things.
