In a clash of automotive titans, carwow pits the classic V8-powered Mercedes C63 estate against its new hybrid 4-cylinder counterpart. The old C63, boasting a formidable 510hp twin-turbo V8, exudes power and history, a relic from 2015 that still commands respect on the drag strip. On the other hand, the new C63 flexes its muscles with a 680hp 2L turbo engine and an electric motor, promising a modern twist to the drag race narrative.

As the race unfolds, the new C63's four-wheel drive system catapults it ahead of its predecessor, showcasing the technological advancements that have reshaped the automotive landscape. Despite its weight disadvantage, the new C63's electric motor proves to be a game-changer, propelling it to victory in both standing and rolling races. The team's banter reflects the clash of tradition and innovation, with the new C63's technical prowess overshadowing the emotional connection evoked by the old V8 engine.

In a surprising turn of events, the new C63 defies expectations by outperforming the old model in a brake test, showcasing its ability to stop on a dime despite its heftier build. However, despite its clean sweep in the challenges, the new C63 falls short in winning over the team's hearts, hinting at a lingering nostalgia for the raw power and soul-stirring sound of the classic V8 engine. The showdown between the old guard and the new contender encapsulates the ever-evolving automotive landscape, where tradition meets innovation in a high-octane battle for supremacy.
