Off the line, the AMG C 63 S E PERFORMANCE hits 100 km/h in 3.39 s versus 3.66 s for the RS 5 Avant. At this point, the AMG C 63 S E PERFORMANCE leads by 0.26 s and sits roughly 2 m ahead.
At 200 metres, the AMG C 63 S E PERFORMANCE is doing 169 km/h against 156 km/h for the RS 5 Avant. The gap is 0.33 s. The gap remains stable from the start.
At 400 metres standing start, the AMG C 63 S E PERFORMANCE crosses the line in 11.06 s versus 11.72 s. The 0.65 s gap represents roughly 35 m of track — a gap visible to the naked eye.
Past 400 metres, the AMG C 63 S E PERFORMANCE continues to build its lead. At 600 metres, it runs at 240 km/h versus 218 km/h. At 1,000 metres, the AMG C 63 S E PERFORMANCE finishes in 19.80 s versus 21.35 s, with a 1.55 s lead.
Both rivals are electronically governed, but not at the same level: the AMG C 63 S E PERFORMANCE is capped at 280 km/h, the RS 5 Avant at 250 (i.e. 155 mph — industry threshold) km/h. This isn’t a physical engine limit — it’s a manufacturer choice, usually for tyre safety or homologation reasons. Neither car reaches its true aerodynamic top speed.
With two plug-in hybrid powertrains, the difference comes down to power-to-weight ratio (3.18 kg/hp vs 3.71 kg/hp) and transmission (Unknown vs Automatic).
In European road use (130 km/h max), both vehicles reach the legal speed limit in under 5.51 seconds. The 0.26 s difference in 0 to 100 km/h is mostly felt in motorway merging and overtaking.
