Supercar showdown let’s goooo!

We’ve got our hands on the all-new Mercedes-AMG GT 63, and it’s going head-to-head against the almighty Porsche 911 Turbo S and the last ever internal combustion engine R8 to be produced - the Audi R8 GT!

So let’s see how these mighty machines compare! Starting with the AMG, it’s powered by a 4-litre twin-turbo V8 that can produce 585hp and 800Nm of torque. Power is sent to all four wheels via a 9-speed automatic gearbox, and it tips the scales at a rather heavy 2,130kg. It’s the cheapest car here at least, costing around £165,000.

Alongside it we have the Audi, which is powered by a 5.2-litre naturally-aspirated V10. This produces 620hp and 565Nm, and this power is sent to the rear wheels only via a 7-speed gearbox. It tips the scales at 1,570kg, and it’s the most expensive car here, setting you back around £200,000!

Then finally we have the 911. It’s powered by a glorious 3.8-litre twin-turbo flat-six, and this produces 650hp and 800Nm. Power is sent to all four wheels via an 8-speed automatic gearbox, it weighs in at 1,640kg, and it costs around £180,000.

So will it be a clean sweep for the Porsche? Or could the newer GT spring a surprise? There’s only one way to find out… LET’S RACE!

We’ve got our hands on the all-new AMG C63, and we’re about to find out how it compares to the old C63!

Of course, there is one BIG change between the new and old C63. The V8 has been removed, and it’s been swapped with a 2-litre 4-cylinder turbo! The question is, just how much quicker is the new car?

Well, let’s take a look at the stats! Mat’s in the old C63, and you’ll find a 4-litre twin-turbo V8 under the bonnet that produces 510hp and 700Nm. Power is sent to the rear wheels only via a 7-speed automatic gearbox, and it tips the scales at 1,750kg. When new, this car cost around £63,000.

Alongside it, we have the new car. Under the bonnet you’ll find the 2-litre turbocharged 4-cylinder, however, there’s also an electric motor on the rear axle! Combined, they produce 680hp and 1,020Nm, with power sent to all four wheels via a 9-speed automatic gearbox. It’s mightily heavy, mind, weighing in at 2,190kg, and it costs an eye-watering £100,000!

So the new car has more power, but has Mercedes ruined it by removing the V8? There’s only one way to find out… LET’S RACE!
