Very well constructed test, and properly evaluated, between these two Super Cars. The Mercedes gets the nod in the end, by a whisker, but it's close. There are a couple of features that aroused my curiosity. First of all, engine capacity. The Audi, with 4.2 litres, almost matches the 6.2 litre of the Mercedes. 50% difference in capacity.
Looks - I have criticized Mercedes Coupe styling for a little while now. Certainly, the cars look "okay" from some angles and perspectives, but I have never liked the three quarters side view from the back - upswept tail accentuated by a rising swage line, and a 'down in the front' appearance, again accentuated by a down swept swage line, giving the appearance of too low a suspension setting. In my view, in comparison, the Audi wins hands down from a styling point of view - and I am sure that it passes the wind tunnel test with fling colours.
Anyway, please enjoy the video. Regards Styria
