I agree. Whilst it's sad that the V8 will be gone, 450hp from the 4 cylinder plus 200+ from the electric motor, will make it faster than the W205 C63S. Even better if it ends up lighter.

Do you expect it being lighter? Me not at all. Added batteries plus electric motor plus power electronics will far outweigh the weight saving the I4 opposed to V8 will bring ...

I don’t think the AWD cars will launch all that much better on a good surface, but I could be wrong. The thing you’ll notice about G8x is how much better it launches and puts power down compared to F8x. This is mainly due to the new closed-loop traction control system that operates much more quickly. BMW or their suppliers have taken lessons from Tesla here. Some of the advantage of AWD is probably made up by that.

It sure does.
It's in fact it's one fo my previous car that I recently sold. It even had an electrically operated tow hook After having driven the M3 comp RWD I am now about to place an order for and M3 xDrive Comp. IMO the G80 blows the C63S out of the water in terms of driving dynamics and chassis tuning. The M3 also feels way quicker despite having almost the same power to weight ratio. A bit sad to see AMG getting rid of the main USP of the C63 with the next gen. |

The end result would be the same in terms of the BMW being quicker but for actually numbers, they both can perform a lot better. |

It will definitely be faster than the V8 version (and probably the G8x) at the cost of sounding a lot worse in the process. The AMG CLA 45 sounds terrible and while I'm sure they will massage the exhaust to make the 2.0L sound better in that application the V8 IMO was always the main reason to buy an AMG.

Not sure it's the prettiest of cars but there is something oddly cool about a station wagon with a 500hp V8 and a tow hook "Only" a convertible? Great looking car and with one of the best engines out there. |
