Buster Trigger Warning: 670hp 4 cylinder C63 AMG Unveiled

[dimi]

AMG hopes to make up for the loss of the V-8 sound through artificial sound effects...through external speakers for the benefit of bystanders.

850lbs heavier than a M3. wow

apples =/= oranges

I'm guessing the electrified M3 is going to gain a lot of weight. I assume it'll still be lighter than this porker, but it won't be an 800lb difference that's for sure.

Based on how conservative that thing is styled, your average driver would probably shit if one of those blasted past them.

Literally looks like a regular C300 with one of those 'night' appearance packages

I bet your average driver thinks a C300 is fast

AMG has been in my experience one of the best (if not the best) in generating amazing exhaust notes from their vehicles over the years. I am sure they will do their best for this one as well, but there's only so much you can do to a 4 cyl. Bring on aftermarket exhausts and what not I suppose.

What's the worry of year 1 cars anyway. That's what warranty is for, right? When it runs out you can buy extended warranty too lol and when that runs out you sell it to NE bro lol

Yeah... like my S4 engine blew up and stuck in an A4 for 6 weeks while payment continues. Then magical water pump blowing up every 2 years. Great.


Also new C63 got a 700lb weight gain. Now is like 200lb heavier than E63 sedan.

And can Germany afford to build cars any more?

I mean it’s the same engine as a cla45 so that’s a good starting point

I bet BMW builds more M cars in the US and Mexico than Germany these days.

Dude in a W221 S63 AMG ripped past me today on my way to work. What a glorious sound. It got me thinking about the future of AMGs and how an engine will never sound like that again. Logged onto Beyond once I reached work and read this thread. Not even sure what to think. 700hp great. 4 cyl + speakers for sound. wat?

[ExtraSlow]

It's okay to have conflicted feelings about this. It's like getting fucked in the ass buy a strange man, but he's really hot and he leave $60 on the night stand afterwards. You don't feel great, but . . . .

Exhaust regulations in the EU really toned things down unless you’re a small numbers manufacturer. Lots of people bitching that the v8s were a lot quieter in the last few years.

But yea, as an ex owner of a GLA45, that engine/exhaust has some terrific tone.

That makes sense re: new powertrain - I didn't know it was that different.

Also, just read the article... ~4700lb curb weight.

Heavier then a Ridgeline. How many 4x8 sheets of wood fit?

Bring on the days of patent and copyright violations for these speakers pumping out sounds that their brand never made before.
"Let's steal the sound of an Aventador and blast it out of these speakers glued under our 4-banger!"

I need some time to process all of this before I formulate a response.

I'm already triggered that @rage2 used the mention feature. I got excited because I thought I had a new rep, and then I realized it was just a poverty spec version.

"poverty spec?"

I think you meant "builder grade."

I refuse to participate in that inside joke because, frankly, it is not inside enough. It's got fetch-itis. As far as its level of funny inside joke, it suffers from its own self-description.

Shitposting is an art, and the moment it appears you are trying too hard, it falls flat.
