Which Mercedes C63 Sounds Best: 6.2 Or 4.0?

The current C63 may still have a V8, but it's lost just over a couple of litres in displacement and gained a pair of turbochargers compared to its predecessor. So does it sound as good? Listen to the comparison video then cast your vote!

Wow… the steeringwheel got very ugly in the new car, in fact I think it looks like it’s pregnant out of all things as it’s so round and baloony looking compared to the older one.But I have to say that the new 4.0 sound much more powerful than the 6.2 when standing still and revving.

6.2 for days. Can’t beat that whip-crack exhaust!

There is no way to have an exhaust *sound great when you’re robbing it of the very thing that makes that possible. I find this whole turbo revolution pathetic.

there is no way that a 4.0 t-turbo could replace a na 6.2

What us with that disgustingly bloated steering wheel on the new one?

Anyway 6.3 ftw always. Sounds rough and raspy just like a proper c63 should :) new one is too conservative

I had a chance to hear them both in reality some time ago and how brutal the 6.2 is, so sporty the 4.0 sounds. I think that any aftermarket exhausts can make it more fierce and menacing just like it does with Audi’s 4.0, so I would go with the newer one.
