As part of evo’s Car of the Year competition, the magazine pitched a pair of track-focused German Coupes against each other; Mercedes’ C 63 AMG Coupe Black Series and the Alpina B3 GT3.
The GT3 uses a bi-turbo 3.0-litre six-cylinder engine developing 300 kW (408 hp) and 540 Nm of torque, allowing a 0-100 km/h time of just 4.6 seconds, while the Black Series is good for 380 kW (517 hp) and 620 Nm metres and is 0.4s speedier, but uses a naturally aspirated 6.2 litres do do it.
