Stylish design dynamics, swooping panels, and gut-wrenching performance. These characteristics of a performance coupe provide a recipe for success and outstanding driver experience. When it comes to performance and design, German auto manufacturers have nailed the formula for success.
Mercedes-Benz and BMW lead the pack, with their 2018 models all offering a marked improvement on the previous car.
We review the top-5 German coupes of 2018. If you’re in the market for a powerful, sexy-looking car, any of these beautiful machines will look fantastic in your garage and turn heads as you race down the road.
1. BMW M4 CS
With previous versions of the M4 being one of BMW’s most successful coupes ever offered, the company hasn’t let down fans of the iconic brand with its latest offering. The M4 CS provides a raw, powerful driving experience that feels loose in the rear, just begging you to drive it hard out of corners.
Each evolution of this car keeps getting better, and the 2018 model is genuinely exceptional. With the best chassis in the BMW range, this car feels well-balanced and smooth to drive at slow speeds and while pushing the engine to its limits.
Hit the throttle and hear the engine growl so loudly it cracks the windshields of cars around you sending them straight to the body shop for Auto Glass Repair.
2. BMW M240i
If the raw power and growl of the M4 CS is too much car for you, then consider scaling down to the BMW M240i. This model offers decent performance with premium styling and excellent handling. It’s a far cry from the power you feel when you punch the accelerator of the M4 CS, but what it lacks in performance, it makes up for with enhanced ride stability and comfort.
Not everyone enjoys the feeling of a sports model on the road, some find it hard to handle and risky to drive. The 240i is the perfect balance between performance, styling, and comfort, leaving you with an ear-to-ear smile when you slide behind the wheel.
3. Mercedes-AMG C 43 Coupé
The iconic C-Class from Mercedes-Benz has done it again with the launch of the C43 AMG Coupe. The twin-turbo 3.0-liter engine offers howling performance on the road and the track. The 367-bhp pushed out by this motor feels like a little too much power when you’re driving around town.
Mercedes refined the chassis for the 2018 model, placing the engine in just the right spot to provide a smooth, balanced drive that’s the hallmark of the C-class. Our only gripe with this car is the astronomical price tag, but if you can afford it, then go for it – you won’t be sorry you did.
Wrapping Up – Our Top Choice for 2018
Selecting a clear winner from these 3-amazing cars is the most challenging choice we had to make all year. However, when it comes down to overall performance, utility, comfort, and design, one coupe stands head and shoulders above the est.
The BMW M4 CS feels so good on the road, with its unbelievable performance and handling rounded off with outstanding styling that is the hallmark of the BMW brand. We loved the way this car felt on the road and the track, if you want a vehicle that’s sure to give you a thrill every time you sit behind the wheel, the BMW M4 CS is your top choice for 2018.
