***** yup, because my fellow countrymen are mostly idiots, and would rather have useless tiny SUV's than wagons, so they don't sell well and we rarely get them. And if we do, its hardly ever the performance variants. And we don't get the same options or engines (or detuned versions if we're lucky) mostly because of our laws and emissions regulations. Also, we have to have corner reflectors in orange. Something that utterly RUINS the look of most cars, and something that I'm sure has never been useful in practice either. Ill never understand my country. .-.

Yeah, that's true, but here there are a staggering number of trucks here that will never go off road or be used as trucks should. Same with our "cute-ute" epidemic. Ruin the point of an SUV for "style". Kill me. I have a sedan (er, estate), but I prefer the look/utility of MOST wagons to their sedan counterparts. The reflectors just erk me because they are hideous, and usually the melting point of the glue is higher than that of the plastic, so you can't take them out, and you have to buy new headlights to get rid of it (not cheap when you consider most new cars have HID's/Xenons/LED's, and when you consider Mercedes active LED lights with cameras and all that inside, it's a mighty expensive fix). And our emissions/import regulations are hideously stupid and an obvious act of communism. Thankfully, there are organizations like Petrolicious to try and fight it all. I just hope it works before we're all forced to have self- driving, uninspired, stupid, boring turds.

Why Jon Olsson choose the RS6 to go to two gumball rallys and not a an E63 AMG S? And the E63 AMG S is not the E63 AMG, they should compare it to the Audi RS6 Plus that it will be in production and with 600bhp in the Audi RS6 Plus the E63 AMG S will lose by far. So the RS6 is better.

These guys are hilarious. The 4 wheel drive is so much better, but they still say the MB is better even though it has 0 control and starts to drift as soon as it comes close to a corner.. The Audi is much faster on a straight line and on the track. It´s also so much better for every day use. The problem with the MB is that it is poorly balanced and it can´t handle the power. Just drift drift drift, it gets kinda annoying after a while... The engine sound of the Audi shifts depending on what mode you are in. Put it in Dynamic for the full roar.. but again, you dont want that in a daily car, so you put in auto/comfort as standard. "the MB is more playfull" is the best translation of "the MB can´t handle the power and just drifts in every corner you enter"

@Rascallucci11 жыл бұрын
halabi97 The S6 is one level down and is not fair neither cos is not in the same price range as the other cars. Tell you what, I can already verify what I said about the E63 S (rear-wheel drive version), Chris Harris tested it against the M6 Gran Coupe and the Jaguar XF RS and even with the BMW being down on power, it smoked the E63 S all the way from 0 to 155 mph until the limiter kicked in. Auto Express also pitted the RS7 against the M6 Gran Coupe and the RS7 smoked it hands down with the RS7 power train being the same as the RS6. Bottomline, the difference maker lies in all-wheel drive vs rear-wheel drive. I don't think we can argue whether it is fair or not cos historically Audi has always been making Quattro all-wheel drive cars whereas BMW and Merc haven't. But, if you are after the fastest saloon or station wagon, it will be safe to say the Merc E63 S 4matic will be the fastest with 585 HP.
@Rascallucci11 жыл бұрын
halabi97 But, to be fair, some folks have always trashed the Audi becuse it is AWD and it understeers and doesn't do power drifts as well. To me, the most interesting point to note is how can the M6 Gran Couple smoke the E63 S with both being rear-wheel drive ? The difference probably lies in the Merc's MCT gearbox which is inferior to BMW's ZF 8-speed twin clutch. Personally, I would pick the RS6 any day cos in day-to-day practical driving, it is the fastest and the easiest to harness the potential of the car. Unless you are a very skilled driver and can find places to do power drift to appreciate the upside of the rear-wheel drive counterparts such as the Merc or BMW, it really doesn't matter to me cos ultimately these are large and heavy cars and I wouldn't expect the sharpest handling from them. In any case, for what is worth, they have the E63 S 4matic in the States and Head-to-Head tested it against the M5 (with the Competition Package) and needless to say the Merc being AWD smoked the M5. In fact, it can probably smoke a Lamborghini Gallardo LP560-4 when it clocked 3.4 sec to 60 mph (not 62 mph or the 100 kph equivalent as they use metric in Europe and the LP560-4 can do 0-100 kph in 3.7 sec).

Audis certainly had issues(late 90s thru the 2005 or so) with electrical problems and timing. The B7s were a big improvement but not as good as the B8. Those I know who work on cars told me(when I was looking for an S4) that they didn't see many issues, they are just hard to work on. I trust the newer Audis more.

I don't think so, the Mercedes might do you 0-60 mph in 3.2 seconds but there is a big difference between 0-60 mph time and 0-62 mph because of the gear shifting. And I don't think the E63 4 matic is as good in the wet as the Audi because it has a split (67% to the rear, 33% to the front) with the drivetrain while the RS6 has a system which gives the power and torque to the we heels with the most traction.

SIMcityplayer2002 first, 0-60 time and 0-62 times aren't big different. Coz most of them can hit 65mph in 1 st gear. Second, 67% and 33% is the standard AWD setting. Both 4 matic and Quarttro will split thrut to the wheel with most traction. Depands how well and how much spinning will the AWD system allow.

Okay they are not that much of a big difference, but I have never heard of a car that can hit 65mph in first gear .

Azaan Habib There arent that many cars that can. The first generation Lamborghini Gallardo could hit 63/64 MPH in 1st gear. These stations hit about 50mph max in first gear. The audi even less because it has 8 speed ZF automatic with torque converter, and the Merc has 7 speeds. So there is absolutely no reason for both of them to put in such a long first gear.

Why do you guys keep comparing these awd cars vs rwd cars on a wet road?? Common sense the awd will win all day, same thing u guys did with the rs7 vs the m6 grand coupe, so wait until its dry so it will be alittle more fair for the rwd to try and grip....

The 10k extra includes otherwise cost options such as Panoramic roof, keyless go, performance pack and increase to speed limiter. The increase to 186mph does, from experience, make a big difference right through the power band, not just at the maximum speed. In the UK, we only get 2wd so there is no weight gain of 4wd. The limited slip differential will help the 's', but not as well as 4wd. The amount these cars cost anyway, the premium for the 's' is definitely worth it.

but correcting understeer is pretty easy, get off throttle or slightly get on the brakes, if you reach a point of understeer in a RWD car you could so the same but usually the back tries to overtake the front. Why do you think compoanies make their cars handle with a little but of push on the limit........because its generally safer

the F1 1.5l engine was build on used old iron block M10. They only used blocks with more than 200.000km on the clock. During this time it was impossible to build iron blocks without tension, the only way during that time was to use high km iron blocks who lost the steel tension. The engines could only do 2-3 laps at full boost (5.5bar) and 1300hp, after that the block was finished

I think there was no 4matic because Mercedes aren't selling that in the UK and with it being a UK review for UK road makes sense. 4matic is available in the rest of europe though.

@INUMIMI2811 жыл бұрын
1, Audi has massive front overhang because they place their engine longitudinally on the FWD based AWD platform, just like the Subaru Legacy. 2, Unlike the Legacy, which has boxer engine to cope the overhang, has a normal V shaped engine, therefore has a high center of gravity. 3. Most Audi RS models tends to be really heavy, mostly because of all the complicated electronics to tame the understeer.

@carnut919311 жыл бұрын
I guess I was going to fast for the conditions and wasn't expecting the car to go into understeer so quickly, it was a fwd car so if I hit the power, brakes or anything I'd of lost some cornering grip and probably ended up in the gutter. The car needs a stiffer rear anti-roll bar. Majority of people don't push their cars half a hard as I do sometimes, so I guess it's safest for them. But come to think of it, the car could be neutral and still have ESP to save them... just a thought.

The e63 4-MATIC is not sold in the UK because the drive shaft gets in the way of the right hand side steering therefore auto express did not use it.
@445CR11 жыл бұрын
It's mainly because they appear to be keeping the 4WD versions in countries where you are likely to get snow. I think it is also based on research of where they sell the most 4matic cars already. Merc rarely makes a decision without a mountain of data.

Agreed. But i think editor is wrong still, RWD is more chance of end up in drift situation on track whereas Audi Quattro is prevent this kind thing from happening. Drift fun in E63 is not equal to good handling. But having RWD car on wet and try to find out if it's faster than AWD car is ridiculous.

No, Europe has three versions to choose from E63 (RWD 557hp), E63 4Matic (AWD 557hp), and E63 S (AWD 585hp). However, the UK has right hand drive and they will have to settle with rwd. The AWD versions are faster then the RS6 in a straight line aswell.

You need to do a test of the E63 S Model w/ 577 bhp and a 0-60 of 3.4 sec. That model matches with the RS6 and the M5 Competition. The normal E63 is a lot slower, but the E63 model S wipes the floor with the RS6.
@CJM44.4111 жыл бұрын
I don't think we're getting the RS6 here in North America.. I too own an E60 M5 and still absolutely love it! My advice: I'd just keep the E60 as it is still the ideal super sedan. It ticks all of the boxes and is also much lighter than it's newest successors (new RS6 is over 200lbs heavier!). If you're worried about speed, visit RPi and get an exhaust system (which gets you big horsepower if you do everything engine back) or Evolve for an ECU (about 35 - 40hp gain!). This is my plan anyways..
