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!

I prefer the “6.3”
We’ll take the 6.2 please!
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.
Totally agree with you.
4.0 please. Lovely noises.
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.
I can’t quite tell, let’s hear them straight piped!
