After earlier on we treated ourselves with some rather addictive A 45 AMG launch control goodness, not it's time for some analog accelerating fun.
We say “analog” because the Mercedes-Benz C 63 AMG W204 is most likely the last old-school V8 sedan from AMG, now that they're starting to let new-age technology dictate the performance and soul of their cars.
With no less than 457 hp and 600 Nm (443 lb ft) of torque at its disposal from a 6.2-liter, normally-aspirated V8, the current C 63 AMG is a proper teutonic hoon-mobile with a soundtrack that can raise the dead.
Its mentality is the complete opposite of the mathematical character of a BMW M3, for example, with which it cannot compare on a racing track but against which it will always win in a burning rubber competition.
The following short video is a perfect example of what the C 63 AMG is best at, and that is transforming gasoline into a mechanical symphony that is heard from a mile away.
