We all know the M3 in the minds of the enthusiast has typified the ultimate sport sedan. With this in mind the simple fact remains that everyone is always gunning for you. Life is tough at the top.
After all bragging rights are at stake here, and if you can top the king in any performance factor, then you can proclaim your achievements to the world at large as a M3 killer.
While many have claimed they can topple the M3, so far all have fallen short. The latest car to make the claim and draw the short stick was the Lexus IS-F. Even though it missed the target in several key areas, it may have come far closer to hitting the mark than BMW would like to admit..
Mercedes Benz is the next up to the plate and the new C63 AMG may actually be able to topple the king, at least on paper.
Powered by a hand built 6.3 liter V8 producing a thundering 457 hp and the AMG heritage behind the design, this uber-missle has not only the clout, but the class leading edge to possible topple the king at its own game.

Happy hunting!
