Autobild: AUDI RS4 Cabriolet vs Mercedes CLK63 AMG Cabrio

[Zafiro]

RS4 / CLK 63
Acceleration of 0-100km/h 4.9 s 4.7 s
Maximum speed 250 km/h 250 km/h
Price test car 82,900 euro 92,974 euro


What gives to drive it more beautiful than into the RS4 or CLK 63 AMG? Both Cabriolets spoil with much air and achievement. The CLK 63 AMG beyond that with more torques, accurate mechanism, comfort and sufficiently place for four. With the AUDI it goes despite smaller achievement more sportily to the thing. It craves for curves and acceleration, required for a fast hand when switching and is the more dynamic choice.


Autobild doesn't mention much, not even a winner. So enjoy the pics instead

I want to say the same to both. Sedan and Coupe over Convertibles.

Lol, thanks.

RS4 is the clear winner for me in this test. It has the most beautiful exterior and the interior is far better than the CLK. I wouldn't take one in yellow color though.

seriously i dont belive the interior is far better.. not after the FL..maybe slightly when it comes to quality..but the design of the audi interior isnt anything speciall

my experiecne with CLK63 is that some buttons feel cheap and look cheap which I dont remember I noticed in the RS4. But like you said its no huge differences and not a difference like night and day like some might think but RS4 is still slightly better interior IMO.

 

[LaArtist]

yep that i can understand..being that the CLK is afterall a much older car..
but far better..it sounds like the CLK is a ssangyong and the RS4 is a Roller..
LOL

 

[YoungWarrior]

RS4 hands down winner, especially when taking price into consideration.

 

[Kleemann_SL]

I like the RS4, but I like the CLK63 better

 

[Tumbo]

Oh...so beautiful cars!
I loove both of them. Don't like that colour on the RS4 thought. Should have been black

 

[PanterroR]

What? I must be blind, 'cause i didn't know/see that CLK 63 has only 2 pipes on the left side?!?! And i don't like that!:

Cabrio only has two. Coupe has four, thank God

 

[PanterroR]

Cabrio only has two. Coupe has four, thank God

Any specific reason why?

It sucks anyway...

 

[LaArtist]

i dont get it either.. maybe they want to keep it more elegant and less agressive than the coupe...thats the only thing i can come up with..

PS
Yes it sucks..

 

[mc_blue]

Love the seats & steering wheel in the RS4.

Thanks!

I've heard that it has to do with the extra space required for the softtop (when it's retracted) which results in not being able to fit the spare tire well exactly in the centre of the trunk. Therefore, there is no room to fit the other half of the quad exhaust tubing. I could be wrong though....

Maybe this is the explanation, but anyway, this looks waaaay better:

Mercedes probably (finally) located the battery in the trunk, and with even less options as to where to put the battery (being a convertible), I guess they had to bite the bullet and delete half the exhaust to make it work.
