[scans] Sport Auto Supertest - Mercedes-Benz C63 AMG Black Series (Aero+Track Pack)

Why is the 200 km/h acceleration in BS slower than C63 PP?? The conditions or downforce?? I would assume the BS has grippier and stickier tires than the C63 PP, but all of the straight line numbers seem to favor the C63 PP??

Because their power-output is nearly identical. The difference is less than 30-hp IRL.
The BS has grippier tyres, that's why its Race Start-function works well (unlike most of the MCT-AMGs). But with nearly the same power and more drag, it can not beat the C63 PP at high speeds.

Btw.: at the long straight of the NBR (Döttinger Höhe) it was 17 kph slower than the CLS63 PP (270 vs. 287 km/h).

I guess it has 13 kg of downforce at 200 km/h over the rear axle?

Yes.

Thanks. :t-cheers:

Can I assume that Dunlop tyres are better in the dry than Pirelli Corsa and Pirelli better in the wet?

I agree.
I think P Zero (with the Porsche-spec for 991) and this Dunlop are much more dry-focused than the Corsa. They remind me of the first gen Pilot Sport Cups (M3 CSL).

this just has to be one of the most evil looking cars ever
