i think that the audi rs6 is the ultimate sleeper from this list - as it is very understated on the outside and has non aggressive styling

[@technowaffle9020]

i’d say rs4 the rs6 has a lot more aggressive aero than the rs4 like the arches on the rs6 stick out a lot more than on the rs4 but tbf it only stands out if you know what to look for

Everyone knows a rs6 is fast as fuck.

Great video as always. Looking forward to the under £10k version

[@mlgboy1]

Great video and interesting choice of cars picked, although no diesel’s!! One on the list should have been the BMW F30 335D which is even more unassuming that these examples but with far better fuel economy and around 4.5 seconds to 60 with a top speed limited to 155mph but gets off the line probaly faster than all of these with the excellent xdrive system and huge torque figures.

I bought this M5 (2011 model with 72k miles) in 2018... 22 hours / 148 miles after I drove it off the dealership car lot it went into limp mode and broke down... high pressure fuel pump. Cost me about 1500 quid. 2 months later it went into limp mode again... cylinder missfire. I sold it 5 months after I bought it trading it in toward a new 3 series. Within the last 2.5 years of ownership brand new off the dealership showroom floor the car has had to go to the dealer for issues 6 times with 2 of those times requiring a tow truck. I can't ever again recommend BMW to anyone from my experience.

[@DjNikGnashers]

VXR8 : Chrome quad tailpipes, massive rear wing, side vents, & front splitter. NOT really a sleeper. XFR : Bonnet vents, side skirts, deep front cover, massive wheels. A little bit of a sleeper. RS6 : de-badge it, and yes, it is a sleeper ! C63 AMG : It is quite a flashy car, but de-badged, it could blend in and be a bit of a sleeper. M5 : Big wide arches, massive wheels and brakes, but from the side, and front, yes a bit of a sleeper, love it. My favourite is the car I own. The M140i. I have debadged it, and unless you really know, you can easily miss the twin exhausts as they are black and blend into the rear cover. It looks exactly like a 118d M Sport. Stock they are as fast as everything else in this list, but the B58 engine is begging for tuning, and 650+ bhp is quite easily available, making it an absolute weapon of a sleeper.

One of my neighbours recently bought an E60 M5. I'm going to have to see if he'll swap a ride, wouldn't ask him to let me drive it but I really want to hear that V10! I love the VXR8 though, might have bought one if the realistic fuel economy number wasn't lower than the number of seats. I will always smile when I see one of those.

Thanks for wonderful insight into the better "sleeper" cars JB but why do many of the newer BMs have that blowy sound when driven, I hear them often during the day from a main road almost 100 yards from me, sounds like an after rev blowing noises, almost a popping sound, not good from the aesthetic point of view.

VXR8 more wide awake than sleeper. However this is Frankenstein’s monster, asleep on the slab, waiting for that lightning strike..... XFR definitely not sleeping, the cat is ready to roar and she looks like she’s in the mood for a fight RS6 this little lamb is curled up in the hay, dreaming of green pastures, but wake her up and she’ll bite your arm off and beat you to death with the wet end. CL63AMG this is a big cat, a lion on the plains, roaring to anyone who can hear it, I’m king and I’m up for defending my crown. Lions do spend a lot of time sleeping but this one even roars in his sleep! M5 this is what would happen if a car could go to the gym for a few years, it’s just pumped in the right places and there’s zero body fat. After all that working out the guy needs a kip but don’t get too close because those guns ain’t for show, he’s itching for a fight and he wants to knock you out.
