The appropriate response lies some place in the back view reflect. The 
Audi's window tints move the shade of the C63 S from dim blue to surly dark, lifting the visual danger even more. From the front, the Mercedes is a square-jawed security authority pressed into a suit intentionally custom fitted a large portion of a size too little, its daytime running lights giving insidiously upturned eyebrows as it sways over motorway undulations. The feeling of quiet status in the RS5's lodge has been punctured by the Merc's thunder prepared face. Audi's new kid has work to do.

Audi RS5: V8 RIP, but new V6 brings more power and less thirst:

The new RS5 (B9, code athletes) has effectively substantiated itself a profoundly skilled and amazing machine on a performance drive. Discarding the best piece of the old auto – the motor – was either overcome or inept relying upon your perspective, yet a turbo engine is presently as quite a bit of a given as air in the tires. For all the old V8 acquired terms of character, the new V6 kills it on paper; torque is up by a stunning 125lb ft, fuel 
efficiency up 17%, weight down 60kg and the 0-62mph time is presently under four seconds – no motor note can quiet the thunder of this designing triumph.

AMG C63: still a V8, but no longer naturally aspirated

Indeed, even against AMG's C63. Good fortunes. Where truly AMGs could be depended upon for unholy execution, all the more as of late they've procured a skeleton to coordinate, in this manner establishing a merited notoriety for absurd amusement with all-round splendor. All things considered, it's as yet the motor that becomes the dominant focal point – an adequate sign of its superbness is that it nearly influences you to disregard the old 6.2, which was one of the finest creation motors of the last 20 
years. Not just that, the V6 asks that you bolster it less frequently while conveying 99% of the rushes. In the C-Class the expansion of the S brings that additional power and torque and an electronically 
controlled raise diff rather than an absolutely mechanical one. The perfectionist in you may protest, yet the two consolidate to help the C63 S plunge underneath four seconds to 62mph. That is by all account not the only trap up its sleeve either, so spare your whimpering.
