Prefer this to the new M3 anyday

not as good a handler i suspect, but has more road presence....

£55k


457BHP

I've been looking forward to the release of this. But 457bhp sounds disapointing from a 6.3AMG engine.

First job on delivery would be a trip to Brabus or DMS

Don't forget it's NA unlike the previous AMG cars, so throttle response should be very lively....

I've been thinking about one of these for next years daily shitter duties...I think it would look great in white

Hmmmm.

Wonder why they've used the detuned unit rather than the 514 odd horses used in the E63 etc.

 

[Guy]

That looks good, shame it's not the full 500bhp, wonder if it'll be easy to get it back up to that......

Probably handles worse than an M3 and auto only, but I really like it, Merc are coming good recently.

To keep the two of them a safe distance apart on hp per £, otherewise the £50k C Class will be stealing sales from the £70k E Class.
