I like how you have pictures of the Panamera and the E63 sideways and then you get an RS6 that is almost understeering.

New era of hypersedans is promising..

The E63 is growing on me, I like it now after seeing several E-classes on the road now. Might get on in a couple of years, I've heard that AMG will release a twin turbo engine for the facelift.

Personally I love the 6.2L AMG only engine. They can keep their Turbo's. The MCT 7 speed on the new chassis E63 is very intuitive. Not as smooth as say a PDK, but lots of raw power on tap. The interior is gorgeous. I'm still warming up to the exterior.

So the Rs6 was rated the worst of the bunch, interesting. Still my favorite of the super sedans.

Me too its pretty underpowered compared to the other sedans, the MCT is wicked its pretty good wish they put in the C63.

You think the 6.2L is UNDER powered? I think it's fantastic.

The MCT should arrive in the C63 on the facelift.

Well being a AMG fanatic since the start, the Horsepower race is in their side of the pitch..Well, I am surprised to say that its faster than the RS6 in this test from 0 to 200kmh, that is the effect of their MCT gearbox maybe.

the de-tuned Gallardo engine is a fun one, but it's never been terribly fast.

After seeing more and more new E-classes on the road, it has grown on me too. I think its quite edgy and good looking... the taillights are still a bit confusing... not too well styled.
