It is the dilemma that we all ever hope to have: “what to do with a million?”
We at Autoblog would know: a big fat powercoupé on the driveway. But still there are so many to choose from. Wouter showed themselves to be seduced by one of the last trumps of Mercedes: the S63 AMG Coupé. A brute as only AMG that builds, in this case equipped with 4MATIC for paving stones on all four corners pulling instead of only on the back. The S63 AMG is equipped with the craziest gadgets, such as a perfume dispensor and heated armrests. Very cool, if you are getting stuck. The Aston may be a bit easier equipped, but houses up to four delicious-sounding cylinders. In addition, I have opted for the most delicious taste on this moment is: the Vanquish Carbon Black carried out with many carbon details.
Biturbo V8 vs free-breathing V12
A V12 with 576 hp and 670 Nm of torque, that’s what you in the front of the Aston Martin Vanquish. It is definitely the better sounding of the two. Not only he sounds better, he drowns out simply roar of the biturbo Mercedes AMG V8. That has, however, a few horsepower more: 585 to be exact, and the torque is 900 Nm enormous. On paper, the Aston Martin might be faster, but you will continue in the right rpm range, have to continue otherwise you will see only the back of the Benz.
Sprint to the 100 happens in that Benz in 3.9 seconds. On paper is the Aston Martin Vanquish that I brought did so faster. Thanks to the new ZF automatic transmission with eight gears can the Vanquish in 3,8 seconds to the hundred and the top speed of 324 kilometers per hour. The top speed of the Benz is, according to the counter 256 bounded kilometers per hour. Let’s for Aston Martin hope that AMG will soon be engines without rev limiter will deliver, because that German patronizing is too sad for words. A car thick over the €200,000 euros artificial limit is really a travesty, Mercedes.
She’s got the looks
The Mercedes S63 AMG is a nice car, but put it next to the Vanquish and all of a sudden, he looks bulky, thick and a tad boring. The lines of the Aston Martin’s timeless, sharp, and of a surpassing beauty. Opposite to this, is that Aston Martins are still the only brand that her models more on each other look than Audi. The Vanquish is now, maybe still a fairly recognizable appearance, in a few years everything will be back on the Vanquish appear.
Seats, steering and other things
As great as the contrast is from the outside, is also inside. The Aston Martin has a fairly solid interior, but the seats are not great: too hard, too flat and you’re emotionally too high. The touchbediening of the dashboard is funny, but on the whole it looks messy and cluttered. What can Aston Martin’s take an example to the Mercedes. Fantastic seats, great leather, a well-arranged dashboard, with two huge screens where all the essential info about the car to find a simple controller that lets everything in the car can be driven. Here wins the Mercedes obviously.
Each car has its pros and cons. Which car you ultimately choose? Movie!
