I've had the same issue with my brakes when I did my first couple of laps at the nordschleife. Difference is that I did it in a 1999 mk1 focus. It was scary as hell when I had to turn into Fuchsröhre at 140kph. Still the best day of my life. Don't tell my kids🤫
This is the disappointing video. This is supposed to be a head-to-head challenge and the Mercedes is not an estate, they are using the sedan and that is not equal footing.
Since then, Merc has vastly improved....... Both are great cars, but I prefer Merc, I actually have a 2021 E63 AMG - - - - truly awesome machine (if you don't mind constantly shelling out for fuel and tyres that ain't cheap)........................ but then again, if you can't afford to run one, don't buy one
Could you not get an E63 S Wagon with the 4 Matic drivetrain for a true comparison? And the HP figures you provide seem a bit low, at least compared to what we get here in the USA. 591 HP for the Audi RS6 and 603 HP for the E63 S.
@David Viner kinda late reply but its not just straight line only. It is generally more entertaining and fun drive than the RS6 that's why I said muscle car vibe.
5:02 What?? Audi's are total rip-offs. Boring, dreary looks that haven't changed in 100 years either,, zzzzzzzz. $nooz£fest. I can forego a wonderful interior for the much more lively thrills the other big rivals like Jaguar deliver in spades.

Audi Ugly “
@@Braglemaster123 Tell that to modern BMW cars.
You guys made a huge mistake letting Tiff go. His new channel is really good, Love Cars. Anyway, nice to see the old episodes being uploaded. Cheers
What tiff got let go? Whats his new channel
Lovecars
Classic Fifth Gear … when it was good, with Tiff and Plato without a flat cap
Bring back Tiff.
RS6 is an absolute monster.
I just love how much Jason hates to be driven by Tiff. The fear in his eyes 😂😂

That passenger reminds me of someone who sees you are at the very tip top of a ladder and screams" be careful, don't fall!"
The merc sounds awsome but .. i would still go with the audi
Mine would be The M5 and Merc. Audi is alright if you aren’t into handling and driving enjoyment.
2023 still watch old fifth gear
Loved Tiff and Jason vids
Wealthy German executives and Mo from Bradford who lives at home with his parents. 😂.
the best auto show EVER , by far , the best
Why not the e63 4matic version though?🤔🤔
Wasn’t available in the UK
Missed the team.
The Mercedes-Benz AMG E63S is 186mph without the limiters
And also 4matic instead of this rwd one
I think the 186mph is still with a limiter. I've heard this E63 and the then E60 M5 would do 200mph without being limited
You can’t fire the man, then milk viewers using old reviews and tests with him. Honestly shameful.
Why not compare estate/station wagon vs estate/station wagon.
Because there would be an even greater disparity to the Audi, the Merc is a great car but the RS series has always been the dogs danglies.
What's the point in that trial test ? I mean it's not like they were going very fast
This is the disappointing video. This is supposed to be a head-to-head challenge and the Mercedes is not an estate, they are using the sedan and that is not equal footing.
Let's fire Tiff and then use him to promote the new show which he isn't in. Classy FG, classy....
First jeremy gets fired, and then to copy tiff gets fired, idk top gear might have had a real theory going on there
I would rather go with the E63
Since then, Merc has vastly improved.......

We need tiff back. Jason is ok driving but tiff has way more balls. Sadly im going to stop watching fifth gear as protest. BOYCOTT FOR TIFF!!
Always good to watch tiff needel
Proper fifth gear
Disappointed you didn't get the s version of the AMG.
It would be nice to get further than 1 minute 17 seconds before the first advert

U sure you’re not thinking of the new ones ? Remember his is 2013
The s version E63 would have smoked this. This isn't even the s version of the w212 E63 with the lsd etc
@@andyp8464 nor was the RS6 a performance edition therefore it made a fair test
@@jamesmcnaughton3558 nope it isn't at all.
Benz AMG
they mst change name of channel at least.into 6th gear because manuals have that and automatic up to 10
One things for sure though, the E63 is more common than RS6. Hard to refuse the muscle car vibe of the Merc.
OK in a straight line
@David Viner kinda late reply but its not just straight line only. It is generally more entertaining and fun drive than the RS6 that's why I said muscle car vibe.
But the Merc can do better donuts and isn't that all that matters? LOL
Where is the Jaguar XFR or bmw M5 or Lexus GSF
I wonder if the Audi has the carbon ceramic brake option due to the brakes not fading at all
It does.
Better of two Tiff, not best. Tut tut.
Why straight against sedan
Unfair
- Å fan!
TIFF WITH THE PADDEL SHIFTB ON THE MERC
quattro but not 4matic. Why?
M5??
This a test to compare the best of the losers.

Audi all the way for me
poor guy
Awesome
Just missed podium by 1 position.
Rather have a BMW M5
It will suffer the same consequences
3rd...podium. The Red one...
The profile of the Audi's tyres looks a lot lower than the E63's
Benz meister
Mercedes is worse.
You can still delete this lol
Oooo he's a biter!
Second.
VW Golf 4WD verse Real MB Rear Drive....sorry VW out
I've owned 6 Audi's and one Merc from new, not surprised at the result to be honest, I also own a BMW which drives better than the Audi
Ofc u have mate
