Meanwhile on a different location...
Sh*t, sh*t, sh*t,sh*t.
Sh*t.
Honey!
You have to go right, no, left. Sorry.
You have to go left.
I thought you knew
where to go, but you...
Well guys, the catering van has arrived!
Good afternoon.
-Yes, it's bad.
You've already seen it of course,
we got hold of the German super trio.
M3, C63 and the RS5.
There are three cars,
so I brought along two mates.
Casper in the M3.
-It is so cool.
And Mister AMG himself in the AMG.
There we go, that's how it's done!
The RS5, the newest of the three...
...is going to
challenge the M3 and the C63.
Apparently those German manufacturers
watch each other closely...
...because on paper the specs
are remarkably similar.
The 'weakest' is the BMW M3:
4 liter V8, 420 hp, 420 Nm of torque.
After that comes the RS5: 4.2 liters big,
450 hp, 430 Nm. A bit more.
But the absolute winner is the C63 AMG.
That ginormous engine that's been fitted
in the small engine compartment...
...by the evil doctors at AMG.
It's 6.2 liters big, but for historic reasons
we call it 6.3.
457 hp and 560 Nm of torque.
So especially the torque figures
are very different...
...from those of the two sensitive boys
from Ingolstadt and Munich.
On paper all cars are equally quick,
0-62 in 4.6 seconds.
But what will really happen?
We'll see after the break...
Guys!
I brought some nice food.
You work hard,
but the inner man needs care too.
What do you have?
What do you fancy?
-Some fries maybe?
With sauce?
What would you like?
-I'll also have fries please.
There you go.
-Can I have a sausage too?
It's nice isn't it?
It's the best thing you've ever given us.
This does make you thirsty.
Damn Sacha! Geez!
Sorry, that's what you get with 6.2 liter.
And there's launch control, so you just go.
Easy peasy.
Launch control is for wimps, guys.
A steady ankle will also cut it.
What sets the BMW apart from the others
is the gearbox...
...it's so cool.
Vorsprung durch Technik.
I have Quattro 4wd so I go like...
No problem at all.
The gearbox is dead!
Launch control is for wimps,
'cause it doesn't work when you need it.
It appears that not only on paper they're
similar, but in reality they're too.
You'll need a very good start to win the sprint.
The M3 and the C63
are a bit quicker than the RS5 though.
Unless the launch control still works that is.
Otherwise...
There's a downside to being an adult,
this car is a bit clinical.
You miss out on a bit of the feeling you
certainly do get in the M3 and the C63.
Which one I'd go for?
Do I have to choose from these ones...
...or can I also choose the sedan?
So you choose the C63 sedan?
If I can choose the sedan, I'll go for that.
This is more a car for my girl.
It is a shopping car after all.
And I don't want to come across sexist but...
But actually you do.
I'd go for the C63 sedan.
And you?
-I'd go for the M3, certainly.
I think it's great. Especially with the
Competition Pack it's very sporty.
I like that. I'd go for the M3.
But the RS5 is the prettiest.
And you Wouter?
-I think the RS5 is by far the prettiest...
...it's an incredibly cool car. Inside and out.
But I'll have the C63 sedan...
...it's such a wild beast!
It's like inviting a DJ to your birthday party.
The music is too loud,
the neighbors will get angry...
...and you'll be all out of beer.
But you will have a hell of a birthday.
