A Mustang Dressed As A Mercedes-AMG GT Crashed Through A Bus Stop

A Mercedes-AMG GT 4-Door has been destroyed after crashing into a bus stop in Bulgaria.

Details surrounding the incident are unclear but images and video shared online show the high-powered sedan resting against the bus stop after crashing at what appears to be a large roundabout.

It is difficult to determine the precise GT 4-Door variant we’re looking at, but one local publication suggests that it is a GT 63+ model tuned by Brabus.

Although nothing’s certain, it’s possible that the driver of the expensive Mercedes-AMG model lost control of the car while entering the roundabout, driving straight over the concrete curb before smashing into the bus stop. The incident happened late at night and the car was still stuck in the bus stop the following morning.

The damage sustained to the car is, obviously, quite comprehensive. Jumping over the high curb probably severely damaged the sedan’s front fascia and suspension components while the actual impact with the bus stop inevitably resulted in even more damage. One video that seems to have been taken shortly after the crash shows that the ignition was still turned on and its hazard lights were flashing while the car was sitting almost upright with its front end mangled.

There is no word on whether the driver, or any occupants, of the GT 4-Door were injured in the crash.

BMW M4 Vs. Mercedes-AMG C63 Vs. Audi RS5: Which Is The Quickest Premium Sports Coupe?

The BMW M4, Mercedes-AMG C63 and Audi RS5 are all great compact premium coupes with lots of performance, but which one takes the prize when you pit them against each other?

One might argue that the Quattro all-wheel drive system of the Audi is hard to beat. Some might say that the twin-turbocharged V8 engine of the Mercedes is simply superior here, whereas others would defend the BMW simply because it is arguably the most fun to drive.

Okay, that obviously does not answer the question, so it’s time to see them in action, in a video that focuses solely on the straight-line performance, from a standing and a rolling start, and includes brake tests too. But before doing that, let’s see what the spec sheets say, starting with the Audi, which uses a twin-turbo 2.9-liter V6 that makes 444 HP and 442 lb-ft (600 Nm) of torque. It can hit 62 mph (100 km/h) in 3.9 seconds and up to 174 mph (280 km/h) with the optional RS Dynamic Package.

The C63 S, on the other hand, which is the pinnacle of the previous-gen C-Class lineup, has a 503 HP and 516 lb-ft (700 Nm) twin-turbo 4.0-liter V8 and will do the 0-62 mph in 3.9 seconds, with a top speed of 180 mph (290 km/h). And the new M4 Competition uses a twin-turbo 3.0-liter straight-six with 503 HP and 479 lb-ft (650 Nm), for a nought to 62 mph of 3.9 seconds and a maximum speed of 180 mph (290 km/h).

On paper, then, they are almost inseparable when it comes to straight line speed. However, 0-60 times are one thing; how they actually perform in the real world can be quite another. So, which comes out on top?

Porsche 718 Cayman GTS 4.0, BMW M2 CS And Mercedes-AMG A45 S Go To War

In spite of having different layouts, the BMW M2 CS, Porsche 718 Cayman GTS 4.0 and Mercedes-AMG A45 S offer similar straight-line performance, but which one is faster at the track?

That’s what we are about to find out, as AutoBildSportsCars put them at the Lausitzring with an experienced driver at the helm to see how they fared against the clock.

Before placing your bets, let’s run down each car’s specs, starting with the 718 Cayman GTS 4.0, which boasts a mid-engine and rear-wheel drive layout. Power comes from a 4.0-liter naturally-aspirated flat-six, with 394 HP (399 PS / 294 kW) and 308 lb-ft (418 Nm) of torque that’s hooked up to a six-speed manual transmission. From nought to 60 mph (0-96 km/h) it needs 4.3 seconds, and it maxes out at 182 mph (293 km/h).

The M2 CS has its engine at the front, and it’s a 3.0-liter TwinPower Turbo inline-six that pushes out 444 HP (450 PS / 331 kW) and 406 lb-ft (550 Nm) of torque. It’s matched to either a six-speed manual or seven-speed DCT, for a 0-60 mph (0-96 km/h) sprint in 4.0 and 3.8 seconds respectively, and a top speed of up to 174 mph (280 km/h).

Based on a front-biased all-wheel drive platform, the AMG A45 S is the king of mega hatchbacks, with a 2.0-liter turbo-four that makes 415 HP (421 PS / 310 kW) and 369 lb-ft (500 Nm) of torque. The power is channeled to all four wheels via an eight-speed DCT, a setup that translates into a 0-60 mph (0-96 km/h) of 3.8 seconds and a 168 mph (270 km/h) top speed.
