C218 CLS63 S is a monster I think close to 560hp but I was impressed as well how the QPVI GTS performed against the c219 cls63. Maybe a ecu tuned one would perform even better if it can put the power down.Very impressive. The QP seems sluggish off the start line. I guess weight and a bit of turbo lag.
Not really a like for like test though as they have tested new gen QPVI against old gen CLS63 219. I suspect a 2nd gen 218 word be quicker. A CLS63 S would blitz it even further.
Still impressive though
Crickey, it actually won something?
I must admit, I had a tear up with a C63 and well and truly beat it in the Strad. People commented that it must not have been an C63 but a badge kit.
Now I know I was right.
There is a great top gear episode with the c63 black edition and a 2 seater Stradale. Very close, with I think the amg a slightly faster lap time. AFAIK the black AMG has a hp hike over the regular c63Crickey, it actually won something?

In the vid the text for the Maser says 'plokhoy start' in Russian, 'bad start' so I suspect the driver muffed it a bit although in an automatic how is that possible?Very impressive. The QP seems sluggish off the start line. I guess weight and a bit of turbo lag.

Looking at the video I posted more closely it says 600hp and 800nm torque which would mean its had the stage 1 ecu flash tune. I think it’s a great tune to get and I will go for it this year as the performance looks great for the Quattroporte VI GTS.Looking at that and the fact the black car looks a little pimped up I would say it's got some kind of power upgrade as that was far to fast to get away from s car that is supposedly not as quick as the Mercedes.

Good point! Otherwise we would all be driving 1000bhp Nissan GTRs. 450bhp is plenty in the real world.With the exception of the V8 TT engine all Maseratis are slow in contemporary terms. That's not a problem certainly for cars like the GranTurismo as the blend of what they offer only requires them to be moderately quick. My car can 'only' do 100 mph in something like 11.0-11.5s. Sure the MC cars will be quicker as they have a faster shift and shorter gearing but modern cars like the C63 turbo with the same engine that AM use can do 0-100 in 8 point something. The difference is huge!
