Often in these head to head performance tests the opponents are not what you would call close rivals. Well, that is certainly not the case with this one, as BMW M4 Competition and Mercedes-AMG C63 Coupe S are as close to each other as you can get. So, this should be interesting.

This straight-line acceleration test, conducted by Sport Auto, not only shows you which one of these cars is quicker off the line, it also makes clear the difference between low-end torque and high-end torque. The 450 horsepower BMW M4 Competition might be weaker than the 500 horsepower Mercedes-AMG C63 Coupe S, but as always it’s not about how much power you have but how much of it you can actually use.
