Fifth Gear Pits Mercedes C63 AMG Coupe VS Audi RS5

The most powerful versions of premium coupes like the Mercedes-Benz C-Class and the Audi A5 are something like the Swiss Army knives of the automotive world. They can do just about anything aside from going off-road.

These cars can be used every day, making a home to office or school commute as comfortably as their more humble siblings, while they can also seat four or five people and have a decent boot, quality interiors, generous equipment, good looks and a prestigious badge.

But more importantly, when you feel like it, they can make you scream from joy on a twisty road or track or if you find a suitable road to max them out, and perhaps even challenge some supercar drivers along the way.

Fifth Gear has taken two of the latest entries in this class, the Mercedes-Benz C63 AMG Coupe and the Audi RS5, and did what any car nut in his right mind would do without risking losing his driving license: take them to a racetrack and find out which one is fastest.

So, is it the rear-wheel drive 457HP Merc or the all-wheel drive 450HP Audi? Watch the video below to find out Tiff’s verdict.

Fifth Gear Review Ferrari 458 Italia Spider

Some guys girls have all the luck - like Fifth Gear’s Vicki Butler-Henderson who recently had the opportunity to drive Ferrari’s brand-new 458 Italia Spider on the twisty roads around Maranello.

Now, we’ve watched one too many episodes of the British motoring TV show to know that Vicki can really drive – so no blonde jokes here, despite the fact that she does seem to have a great sense of humor.

Does the open-top, or rather targa model, as Fifth Gear's presenter points out, justify its name and higher price tag or has the transformation caused it to lose some of the 458 Italia’s awesomeness?
