The reason why the turbo V8 in the AMG cars still sounds as good as a naturally aspirated V8 is because the AMG V8 is designed as a “hot V” engine. In other words, the exhaust manifolds on these engines are where the intake manifold is on a “normal” V8, and the intake manifolds are where the exhaust manifolds would be on a normal V8. When you open the hood and look at the engine, the twin turbos are sitting right there on top of the engine-they are, in effect, the exhaust manifolds. On a normal turbo charged engine, the turbos are significantly downstream from the exhaust manifolds and more or less act as mufflers themselves, attenuating the exhaust pulses (and sound). On the AMG V8 with the exhaust gasses dumping directly from the exhaust ports into the turbos in the “V” of the engine, the muffling effect of the turbos is reduced. In addition, with the turbos mounted this close to the exhaust ports, turbo lag is virtually eliminated. So, in a nut shell, the AMG V8 sounds so good because of where the turbos are placed-in the “hot V.”
This is a kind of a technical description that any simple mortal is able to understand. So, is a very brilliant performance in the Art of Writing. Very simple, very intelligent and, of course, very talented engineer turned into a journalist. Maybe vice-versa. Maybe just a clever and skilful man that loves MB cars & AMG preparations! Whatever would be, congratulations! Loved to read and won't forget those concepts of AMG V8 TT engine. Thank you very much...
Who else thinks SupercarsOfLondon aka Paul should've gotten this V8 beast instead of his F80 M3? This is coming from a huge BMW fan! I prefer bimmers overall but the new generation of AMG's are so much better! I especially love the new E63s and AMG GTR.
Disagree to the max. Thought the previous C-class looked very bland and boring. I used the hate the look of the old C-class / C63, but this new look has really caught my attention.
True it sounded so good. but i have to give props to Mercedes for not putting a 6 cylinder like almost every other car company is doing now. I would much rather have a smaller v8 than a v6.
And this is the same for all brands sadly, look at that mean bmw S85 V10 they used to do, now they are doing lawn mowers in line 6 cylinders*, still powerful but loses its charm.
Why don't you just buy a C63? This referring to your decision to possible buy an AMG GTS. Still an AMG but with all the space and practicality you require.
I think Shmee said he needs a car that can be driven long roadtrips and still get access to Supercar meetings etc. where you cannot enter with a Merc saloon. You need something more special than that.
Ali RS I feel what your saying but this model merc was the end for me looks like a Toyota with a v8 I also hate the BMW current model you might think I'm a sicko but think about it.............. think about it
this thing with a sports exhaust is monstrous in person.Wasn't a fan of the spund or look at first,but its honestly grown on me.the FI exhaust system is turns this thing into even more of an animal
Great car, and thats from another BMW fan, liked the looks, great family saloon but with that touch of the wolf in sheeps clothing. Nicely put together review as well, no heroics or smoke outs, shows the car as most drivers would drive it and like to see it, well done.
I've got the W204 C63 - and my friend has the 2016 C63S coupe, I went in it yesterday. Totally different car in every aspect, but I was blown away how bloody nice the new one is, the sound is absolute ludacris, the M156 is fantastic, but this TT V8 dare I say is possibly better ?!?! I'll definetly be getting a newer one when i can afford it... But man was it a absolute crazy car! The pops and exhaust in real life are literally 10x better than in the video audio.
@@joeynono3964 Thank you mate - i actually just sold my 2019 C63s ! So in SUMMARY haha 3 years on i'd say they're both their own great cars in different ways. The W204 is more authentic and raw, whereas the newer one is more shouty and a bit more exciting. Both great cars.
I always like this c63 the older one wasnt ugly or anything but this one to me seemed more mature. Like a man whos in a suit but has an aggressive fun side at heart. I also liked the sound of this engine than the previous c63. And its newer! It looks modern even in 2022
do you really though? just kidding. but yea i enjoyed driving my friend's SLS AMG. and i daily a 2014 E63-S AMG wagon that has the 5.5L biturbo V8. it still sounds great, and you couldnt call it slow unless youve lived a lifestyle of cars with Ferrari V12's or things way more powerful.
Heard these out on the roads and while they sound good, they have nothing on the legendary M156... you just can't beat the sound of a big cube, high compression, naturally aspirated V8 !
The Mercedes seat controls are always an example in for example the class in a Psychologist education, when discussing "design", and the psychology of design and objects/machines/gadgets we humans use. Just because it is so self explanatory: to move the seat forward you simply press the back of the "seat" on the door, and forward you go. It is a small masterpice in that respect: "how to get people to understand the funktion, without any explanation".
I still dont get why all the "supercar" youtubers are complaining about the turbos in terms of souns :/ i loooove the whisteling of turbos especially in these v8 biturbos by mercedes, it makes the v8 sound even more agressive and fast in my opinion :)
I cannot wait to hear your opinion about the RaceChip. We have a RaceChip since almost 2 years in our car. The fuel consumption is now lower by one liter per 100km and it has 50 PS more.
@shmee Im disappointed that you did not capture and exterior sound of that mental AMG. Also as a MB owner for the last 20 years, I'm disgusted that MB decided to take the small, medium, large approach. I'm grateful that you pointed that out, very subtle, but you did. Each class should carry it's own identity as a MB Class should. just venting as I finish this bottle of Baileys, cheers!
Tim, don't take it bad, I really appreciate all the content you are sharing with us, but hey man, with all the money you make from us, we deserve better than;"it's winter, so the weather is rubbish, and the car is on winter tires, so I can't push it". We want sun, we want dry awe-flipping-some roads in exotic countries at this time of the year where everything turns so dull, we want power slides (not Chris Harris style because he's above everything and there is no way you can compete) but tiny regular ones like our guys can do on the road. Stuff like that. Come on Shmee, make us dream please!
I'm more an Audi guy, I had an A45 AMG and was so disappointed by the cabin poor perceived quality but I have to say that I love the C Class interior and this would be the one if I had to jump ship
Sufyan You are entitled to your own opinion, sir, personally, BMW is the worst, MB is ok starting the C Class up and Audi are the best interiors in terms of quality and sophistication
the c class cabin is exceptionally good especially compared to the A. The A45 is all about it's AMG engine , suspension etc the cabin and other features are indeed hampered by it being based on their entry level model for sure. That said, approx 380 horsepower and handbuilt AMG engine for gbp40k is reasonable for what you get.
Great fun vid!! I'm about to leave for dealership to test drive a C63S coupe and possibly order EU delivery of C63S convertible. I woke up with a bit of trepidation around this car, having compared it to the 911 GTS cabriolet and M6 convertible. You may have just pushed me over the edge to order it even BEFORE the test drive ;-)
I don't understand why people think turbo cars sound pants? Any group b rally car, not to mention supra mk4 twin turbo, r34 gtr, silvias, imprezas, rx7 fd3s all sound amazing
It's a stunning car and it gets too much hate. It sounds superb in person.
The magical 6.2 V8 will be missed!
Automotive Mike nah it won't. These new smaller engine are far better in all aspects except sound maybe ?
Automotive mike I had the Mercedes c63 sedan 2011 and I sell 4 months ago i bought the new c63s sedan and is a lot better than the old one
German Hilo Is it faster then the old ones?
I am looking to buy c63 amg but I can't decide. Old one or new one. Help me guys !!
Hazardous89 by far
One of the best videos that I have yet seen in terms of capturing the wonderful sound from that 4.0L V8. Don't apologize for making such great sounds!
The reason why the turbo V8 in the AMG cars still sounds as
good as a naturally aspirated V8 is because the AMG V8 is
designed as a “hot V” engine. In other words, the exhaust

Kevin K agreed son!😎
Kevin K Paul knows nothing about cars.
Kevin K wait for the new m5 you are talking about the e63s but imagine the.next m5 if just the m550i is faster than the current m5 so beware amg
paul didnt wanna have two amg's
The M3 has been out for 3 years. The price of a used one is massive
The previous C63 looked more aggressive, but it's still a beast nevertheless
Disagree to the max. Thought the previous C-class looked very bland and boring. I used the hate the look of the old C-class / C63, but this new look has really caught my attention.
i would like to see the old c class with the new c class led lights
saki tumi Agreed, the old body was the reason I waited, not a fan at all off the old body.
Miss the sound of the 6.2 liter V8 in the previous C63...
statesidesupercars in some years we will miss all petrol engines,downsize to the max, until they all make electric shitty cars
Sweedat that's sad :( I love V8s.
True it sounded so good. but i have to give props to Mercedes for not putting a 6 cylinder like almost every other car company is doing now. I would much rather have a smaller v8 than a v6.
And this is the same for all brands sadly, look at that mean bmw S85 V10 they used to do, now they are doing lawn mowers in line 6 cylinders*, still powerful but loses its charm.
Adwaelwin lol in line v6
Let's all take a moment of silence for AMG taking us gearheads and car lovers into account and keeping the glorious V8.
Yea, about that..
how does a 4 cylinder hybrid sound for ya
This comment didn't age well 🤣🤣🤣..I am 100% keeping my 2017 C63...Fuck the new 4cylinder hybrid...they have ruined it 😒😑
this is where you shine, Tim.... very smooth, technically well informed review. Class !
Why don't you just buy a C63? This referring to your decision to possible buy an AMG GTS. Still an AMG but with all the space and practicality you require.
I think Shmee said he needs a car that can be driven long roadtrips and still get access to Supercar meetings etc. where you cannot enter with a Merc saloon. You need something more special than that.
As I guy that has a C63s, you’ve answered questions I’ve been looking for, and needed to know. Thanks brother! I thought it was wider!
elegance and performance......The Best or Nothing ! AMG & Maybach are breathtaking vehicles offered by Mercedes Benz. Thanks Tim. (Mike in Ohio)
My dream sedan. Would get this over any BMW or Audi.
Been waiting for this for about a year
Ali RS how does it feel?
I love the car so much im crying
Ali RS don't cry little man it's a sedan just remember that
i agree but i love the coupe so much lol
Ali RS I feel what your saying but this model merc was the end for me looks like a Toyota with a v8 I also hate the BMW current model you might think I'm a sicko but think about it.............. think about it
As a BMW 7 owner i can say the Benz is making in the last years the most beautiful and perfect cars!
Are simply amazing!
I love the C63 AMG coupe I really love the style power and comfort it provides on the road
BMW. Take note of how you make a good sounding turbo charged engine.
The ultimate driving machine doesn't mean the ultimate sound😏
dj ochi also doesn’t mean let’s not bother trying!
@@Adam-M1 laugh a lil my friend. My brother has this in blue. I have a m5
dj ochi laugh at how crap the M3 sounds? I do all the time.
M5 doesn’t have a sound issue. They sound great.
@@ACURACALABAR11 The C63 still sounds better than the M5 lol The C63 sounds like a lion, the M5 sounds like an aftermarket cheap exhaust...
I love AMG mercedes and especially the C63 and E63!
Awesome, i test it in My Channel, the coupé version, and is incredible. Sound, luxury and pure V8
THANKS TIM
I'm really enjoying your video it's great I'm getting the E63S 4matic plus+ edition1 4.0ltr V8 612 bhp 0-62 3.2 second's
Can't wait to get mine
Got all those options also in my C350, except for the V8 :-) Love this car!
this thing with a sports exhaust is monstrous in person.Wasn't a fan of the spund or look at first,but its honestly grown on me.the FI exhaust system is turns this thing into even more of an animal
AMG is bae.
GET ONE!
I love this car. It's definitely the best in its class in my opinion
My favourite car right now, I must buy one this year.
ShallowDepression I got to drive one Mercedes let me test drive this and a AMG GT and tbh, I'd rather this
Glad you enjoyed it :)
Great video. If you only have one car, the AMG is a fantastic allrounder. You have made me want one.
once again thank you
Sounds like heavenly brute
Road to the C63
Awesome car, all bits of the car are made to excellence.
Would have that car in a heartbeat, love the c63s! Epic car.
probs my favourite car
better visit JP Performance again - he wont let this one untouched in terms of power :P
Great car, and thats from another BMW fan, liked the looks, great family saloon but with that touch of the wolf in sheeps clothing. Nicely put together review as well, no heroics or smoke outs, shows the car as most drivers would drive it and like to see it, well done.

my dream car.
Buy this instead of the GT/ GTS as your temporary drive till you get the GTR
I want that 6.3 Liter AMG back in production!😎👌
Supercarsfromeu *6,2 liter
Supercarsfromeu btw it's 6.2 not 6.3
Jack Mayall I know thanks
do you really though? just kidding. but yea i enjoyed driving my friend's SLS AMG. and i daily a 2014 E63-S AMG wagon that has the 5.5L biturbo V8. it still sounds great, and you couldnt call it slow unless youve lived a lifestyle of cars with Ferrari V12's or things way more powerful.
The 63 name comes from the fact the model originally had 6.3 liter engine. ~The more you know~
Heard these out on the roads and while they sound good, they have nothing on the legendary M156... you just can't beat the sound of a big cube, high compression, naturally aspirated V8 !
I love that name. Affalterbach.
Really wish and hope AMG go back to their Naturally Aspirated 6.2 V8's
Jack Mayall the old 6.2 sounded better for sure but we should be happy they just kept the v8
Chad Bullock true
And rumors has it the next C63 will be 4-cyl..
Buy one!
i love this car more than i love myself i wish i could afford it , good video!!
You're so lucky Shmee!!!!!
Damn, that engine sounds so good!!
That sounds so good
C63 or The Coupe S any one of em.....are the best!!!!
this c class and s class 2015 were best designed cars from Mer to date
The Mercedes seat controls are always an example in for example the class in a Psychologist education, when discussing "design", and the psychology of design and objects/machines/gadgets we humans use.

Actually impressed that this video only has 10 000 views less than the new top gear trailer when they were released at the same time!
Best car!
get the c63s coupe shmee!
V8 Power!!!
I still dont get why all the "supercar" youtubers are complaining about the turbos in terms of souns :/ i loooove the whisteling of turbos especially in these v8 biturbos by mercedes, it makes the v8 sound even more agressive and fast in my opinion :)

More on this in the coming days :)
I have a 2015 c300 AMG line. Its my first mercedes i will get this next 6 years from now😂 my dream car in all black
I own one of these. A few days ago I raced an Aston Martin. The Vantage looked very cute in my rear view mirror.
Lmao, on the hwy?
Fantastic car

Super mercedes benz amg vielen dank deutschland 😙😙🔥🚀🚀
Love the interior on point 👌🏻
Clean.
love the color!

Ice driving with an Italian brand in a few weeks, then racing with MINI, and going to Dubai again! But first skiing in the coming days. :)
I think this is a much better option as a touring car for you Tim than the AMG GT.
I'm more an Audi guy, I had an A45 AMG and was so disappointed by the cabin poor perceived quality but I have to say that I love the C Class interior and this would be the one if I had to jump ship
WiZe1972 I didn't know Audi guys still existed, with the dated interior & exterior aesthetics
Sufyan Have you been into an A4/5?
WiZe1972 yes I have. Even the new ones look boring

Look at that in that color wheels and black tont perfect
Buy one as a filler for the Gtr
I love it
German Metal piece of Art
take one of this bro 👍👍👍
Jidenna says "long live the chief" :D
I wish it had the wheel arches of the last c63...it would look perfect aggressive and sophisticated
I have owned a few AMGs, currently a 2010 SLS. Not everybody knows what AMG stands for. My partner knows, she says Awesome Money Guzzler.
Cool amg but this one is newer :)
Long live the V8 indeed! Still miss that 6.3, but this one will do ;)
Elgar Botha *6.2
Let's buy this one until the GT R arrives!
i love my mercedes c 220 cdi !
You should try the Jaguar F-Type R if you want a great exhaust system!
Shmee, will you be attending the Geneva motorshow this year ? If so come and say hi on the Honda stand ! :)
I will only be there during the press days :)
Shmee150 Nice ! I will be working for Honda. If you have time, come have a look at the new NSX and say hi :)
Filmed the NSX already, let's see what Honda has on offer for me to film :)
Shmee150 Oh yeah right ! Well will see ;)
Shmee150 Did you See in Affalterbach the 3 SLS electric ? In the area of AMG are behind a fence 3 SLS electric, 2 in Yellow and One in blue chrome
Wow! Insanely beautiful machine, but not as much as the AMG C63 S Coupe.
Love that
this as another car?
cause you searched a car
Johann Wallrabe I was allowed to drive it. AMG offered it to me for a test drive.
i know :D I just thought you searched sth for the roadtrips this would be another idea
Not immediately :) We have other options for that
Shmee150 If you get the chance try the C63s coupe... a completely different beast.
I like the coupe better! Much difference than the S63?
They sell it in blue too, buy it!
I have a C63 S that looks identical to that spec. I got a renntech exhaust though. love it to death
id go for the amg c63 coupe
IWC clock very cool
This car seems to have it all, even the clock by IWC!
Great fun vid!! I'm about to leave for dealership to test drive a C63S coupe and possibly order EU delivery of C63S convertible. I woke up with a bit of trepidation around this car, having compared it to the 911 GTS cabriolet and M6 convertible. You may have just pushed me over the edge to order it even BEFORE the test drive ;-)
I don't understand why people think turbo cars sound pants? Any group b rally car, not to mention supra mk4 twin turbo, r34 gtr, silvias, imprezas, rx7 fd3s all sound amazing
Boas a todos
Shmee150 I think that you should get C63S until your GT R comes, so you can do those long trips
You should definitely look at get the c63s for the daily while you are waiting for the AMG GT-R !
Maybe it'll take a while to adjust to the styling, the interior looks awesome, but for me the previous gen c63 looks so much more AMG worthy.
You driving in my Home
