If the concept of brutal performance in a relatively civilised-looking car has some appeal, then something like an AMG C63 will do the job.
In listing its strengths, Which Car noted: “Performance. Mountains of it. AMG’s rumbling twin-turbo 4.0-litre V8 has never been wanting in the grunt department, and has no problem dealing with the C63 S Coupe’s 70kg weight gain over its sedan relative. Due to the Coupe’s broader footprint and improved grip, it’s marginally quicker from zero to 100km/h than the sedan, and some exhaust-system tuning means it sounds angrier too. Like hitting the ‘Loud’ button on a stereo, you gain extra bass.
“Handling and ride. Not only does the C63 S two-door handle more sweetly than its four-door relatives, it’s more confidence-inspiring too. Broader tyres, extra width and subtle suspension enhancements endow the Coupe with greater poise, as well as a more polished ride, particularly in its sportier suspension settings.”
It runs a twin-turbo 4.0lt V8 with seven-speed automatic transmission.
