While this car is still a monster. The turbo's really take away the true sound of the V8. Still prefer the C63. It was way more brutal. Awesome vid though. Thanks for posting
This is no comparison to the sound of the last years (Bozz has videos of them up as well). They sounded *glorious*, and this is just bland and weak in comparison.
Armixs I don´t know what changed... I know they went from 6.2 (officially"6.3") to 5.5, I think. But the AMG street cars that use the 5.5 still sound way more meaty than this. I don´t understand how that´s possible.
+Jeremy J. Alot has changed actually. Firstly, its a completely new engine. Gone is the 6.2l m157 naturally aspirated v8 to a new 4.0 twin turbo m178 v8.
+شاديل اشانالي No. I would have liked to do that but last year I was very disappointed not so much by how the new engines sound like (I like it to be honest). It's how quite they were that doesn't make me want to film them this year. Last year was impossible to get some good videos because the commentators in the megaphones and the sound of the helicopter stood over the sound of the cars :(
Bozzy quest'anno sono stato a Monza e le F1 non suonavano mica così silenzioso, riuscivano facilmente a sovrastare commentatori ed elicotteri quando passavano..
A C63 (W205) drove past me a couple of days ago, it sounded really good, even with I guess about 1/4 to 1/3 throttle, but from the video nowhere near like this one. Of course I don't know if it had stock or optional performance exhaust and was in quiet or loud mode.

According to GT Spirit here gtspirit.com/2015/03/06/mercedes-amg-gt-s-f1-safety-car-and-c63-s-medical-car-revealed/ So no, it's not a factory option, it's exclusive to the Medical car.
Sounds better than the F1 Cars! :D
f1 cars sound shit since the downgrade ^^
Previous generation sounded better imo
Agreed, the the 6.2 was German Thunder
At least one of the cars on the track is making decent noises!
it sounds good, but there is no comparison to the 6.2 liter beast....
It sure sounds good, but nothing beats that old 6.2 V8 ;-)
That has more power than the McLaren Honda.
That sounds so dirty, I love it!
The beast was breathing 🖤🖤

+Jeremy J. Yeah I know that one from 2011 sounded way better.

***** Holy shit that explains a lot. Bravo, Mercedes. Way to ruin one of the best cars you produced in recent times.
+Jeremy J. Indeed, the last version sounded mean, like its actually eating the track, this sound like an off market exhaust system
w204 vs w205 minor modification was the exhaust
sounds like dream job
Hey, did you film any F1 this weekend at Monza?? :)
C6.3 L6.2
Is the best ever
Nice ! 😉 Will we get to see some footage of the F1 cars in action on the track during practice or something ??

Are you going to film F1 cars during the practice?
+Ramon Merino Villamil Nope
when you have a family but you still like cars and have cash to spend
Car of the Day: Medical Car
Ohhh Geezush...
Driven both W204 and W205
Does anyone know if this is the stock exhaust or AMG performance exhaust? Or a special (louder) one for F1?
Its the optional Sport exhaust you ca buy for 1100 bucks AT Mercedes.
+Kai Zenker I don't think it's that one. Too loud. Must be an Akrapovic exhaust.

+Alin Marginean I don't think an official Mercedes car would use an aftermarket exhaust system. It is most likely the performance exhaust.

So if he wrecks do the f1 cars save him?
I prefer the 204. Better sound ever
Why don't they use the E class? It's wider and quite faster
The 2012 version sounded much better. This one is nearly silent
Ma di solito chi è che le guida le safety car?
Perchè comunque un po di manico lo devi avere.
ex piloti o gente cmq della FIA
It sounds awesome it sounds like a Diesel engine
ha ha check w204 sound... 6.2 N/A power
Well that's disappointing compared to the last generation car.
To my ears, it sounds really artificial. It’s no SBC, Hemi or RV8.
