The Mercedes SL63 is a brutal car that bludgeons the road with power and torque. The engine is a V8 bi-turbo engine which creates a mammoth 590lb ft of torque and 537bhp. As with the majority of AMGs, this huge power and torque is sent only to the rear tyres which as a result will not last many hundreds of miles if the car is driven in fury!

The Yamaha R1 weighs in at a tiny 450lb wet, but is armed with 180hp! A staggering power to weight ratio, as you will see it is not easy to but all of that power down without raising a front wheel!
