Which German speedster did you think would win — the heavier one with the more powerful turbo-four, or the lighter one with a less potent straight-six? Let us know in the comments!

It´s the race of 500kg heavier vs "officially" 120hp less. Good race, outcome as expected!

I had a C63S AMG Edition One with a stage 1 tune and it was amazing. Every time I got into that car it was an experience with that V8 BiTurbo screaming each time I’d stomp the pedal down. Unfortunately, I couldn’t see myself in the new version. A plug in hybrid with a 4 cylinder engine? No thanks. Upgraded to a 911 and left Mercedes in the rear view mirror.
