Interesting! Any advice or intel on how to activate it? Merc Australia confirmed our cars don’t have Race Start (so no launch control) but if you have more intel I’m keen to hear it!
@@universeu7289 well it does in fact... its the same car. Its like saying a GLE 450 doesnt have anything the GLE 63s . same everything but more goodies on the RSQ8 actually.. Im driving a Sq8, same as a Q8 but some extra goodies and HP, overall its the same car, and mine is only missing some HP and trim pieces compared to a RSQ8.
I’m not 100% sure but to a active launch control in the GLE you have to put in either 1:sport 2:sport+ or 3:race, foot on the break and then pull both paddle shifts forward and hold for a couple of seconds and it will let you know that launch control has been activated.
@@linuskracht3799 actually it does.. it’s not called launch control… it’s called optimized acceleration. You just have to hold brake tight and stomp on acceleration full on… this video shows him lightly pressing pedal.
actually AMG does have race start.. it’s not called launch control… it’s called optimized acceleration. You just have to hold brake tight and stomp on acceleration full on… this video shows him lightly pressing pedal.
AMG launch control is activated by first turning off traction control, then allowing car temps to turn white in display, then activating sport + or race. Only then will you unlock full HP for launch control. Most of these videos dont know how. Car n Driver clocked the GLE AMG 63s at 3.4 seconds…
When you do a power brake launch in the AMG you can’t hold the brake whilst getting on the gas for more than a second otherwise the launch will be weaker.
AMG's are usually better at racing from a roll aka on the highway. BMWs usually prioritize performance over luxury (as one can clearly tell when stepping inside the interior of an M car vs a competitive AMG car). I've heard AMGs are the most "fun" to drive, BMWs will win the races and Audis have their launch from a dig. If I'm buying a singular car, a daily that I also want for fun, it'll probably be an AMG. However if I'm looking for a fun weekend toy it's hard to say no to an M car.
You use metrics in your video, and then run a quarter mile... use both types of measures in both description and in video and you won't be excluding anyone... also with price... unless you were meaning to upload only to youtube.Australia, cheers!
what you on about gle doesnt have lunch control? do ur research before u make videos and share false information and holly jeez 4.2 amg from 0 to 100km/h u are mad it should run 3.4 and if u lunch it perfect u can get even lower numbers you ruined how people would see amg and not any of em one of the best as 63s to be sounds like u very biased and prob audi fan or amg hater u got the audi numbers almost correct but amg way way off
@@motorofficial you didnt share that info saying the Australian model doesn't have u just said this amg doesn't have LC which makes will make people think it the gle itself
Please race the winner RSQ8 against X6M and line up others Alfa stelvio,Porche until the overall winner then declare the ultimate winner.??I enjoyed the video..keep rolling
Mercedes loses to bmw Audi and Porsche and also loses in the 2nd trim. BMW and Audi offer V8s in the S and M line but Mercedes gives a whimsy inline 6 in the gle 53 that is so slow it’s embarrassing to call it an amg. Recommend Audi or BMW if performance is #1 if u want luxury for price to performance go to Mercedes but skip the gle 53 get either the 580 with the v8 or the 63s
Audi is amazing but Mercedes gearbox best than Audi gearbox because Audi is automatic torque converter and Mercedes gearbox is MCT multi clutch transmission not torque converter
i had to stop watching the video the moment he said the mercedes doesn't have launch control. i figured he doesn't know the cars he's putting head to head
The GLE actually does have launch control, just have to know how to activate, great video just disappointed about not using the launch control
Interesting! Any advice or intel on how to activate it? Merc Australia confirmed our cars don’t have Race Start (so no launch control) but if you have more intel I’m keen to hear it!
U have to hold the brake and mash the gas pedal to activate launch on the amg
@@alexinwood2723 first you have to put in sport plus, TC off, hold the brake, smash the gas pedal to activate launch on the amg
@@CarlosCruz-oj1fn hey Carlos, we did try that. And we even had AMG on the phone trying to help. But even they concluded our car didn’t have LC
@@alexinwood2723 Ah, ok, ok Alex, but what do you think would happen if this GLE has LC... it would be interesting
Thank you, you guys make me proud of my purchase of the Audi Q8
Audi q8 doesn't have ANITHING to do with the RSQ8 LOL! Everything that makes RSQ8 great it's missing on the q8

That Audi is superb 👌.
Like the “street start”! More realistic.

And that bish will take off like a rocket.. love my gle amg43 coupe! 💋
@@sheilashelby8276 its the way the hood lifts up during take off for me 🤩
The new GLE unfortunately has no Launch Control. The pull both pedal method only works on the "older" amg models.
@@linuskracht3799 actually it does.. it’s not called launch control… it’s called optimized acceleration. You just have to hold brake tight and stomp on acceleration full on… this video shows him lightly pressing pedal.
Who races cars in comfort mode though?
Was thinking the same, How does limiting the car"s true performance equal "street start"??
Bruh exactly!
Audi's better there. They almost always are
EXACTLYYYYY. Probably didn't even have that baby in SPORT 2!!
That RS Q8 tho! 😍😍😍😍

there is no way in hell the GLE63s can be that slow against the RSQ8. Something is just not right in this video
I agree
Thought I'm the only one 🤔
no the rsq8 is a little faster a little bit
I agree! He’s a terrible driver. That’s it !
I agree
You may need to try getting one with launch control
Audi still beats it
Hmmm others have gotten 3.6-3.8 out of the GLE. All on TH-cam for ya. So there are settings that get them there despite having not launch control.
Yes but 0-60 mph, is 92 km/h😂😂

Omg those are my two favorite coupe' SUV'S..perfect
Would take the audi in that orange paint job.
Audi ⭕⭕⭕⭕ 🔥🔥🔥🔥
Audi looks more beautiful to me 😍
Alex - A full review of M3 competition would be nice, as would a drag race with it against an RS4.
Stay tuned Andy. We have something very similar coming!
I would like to see the mercedes-amg glc 63s 4matic+ coupé 2021 vs audi rsp8 in drag race and street race.
Just discovered your channel. Awesome videos. Keep up the great work. Greetings from South Africa
When you do a power brake launch in the AMG you can’t hold the brake whilst getting on the gas for more than a second otherwise the launch will be weaker.
Put it in race mode. Flaw the throttle and hold the brake then release brake.
That AMG is dream car material🔥

Some people call it Coupe and others call it coupé, which one is it?
Hi guys. I just watched two videos, already I'd like to see either a GLA 45s/GLC 63s vs Mecan
e63s vs rs7 pls
The GLE has Launch control
I will always choose an Audi over a Mercedes any day
right! Audi is simply better!
Simply not true.
Mercedes is better
Audi ❤
Was that AMG on Sport mode?!
6:28 Alex so chill.
Audi ❤️🧡💙
Why don't people use the GLC63S coupe in drag races? It's quicker than the GLE63s and GLE63s coupe
No,Gle is quicker than all glc lol
I really don't think that audi can beat that merc plus I'll take a Mercedes over an Audi any day
I like both the Cayenne GT and Audi RSQ8. I might get the Audi RSQ8 for my teenage daughter.😂
Now you know why I bought the RS Q8
Seen other drivers get the AMG 63S to 60mph in 3.6 seconds here on TH-cam...
True
rsq8 is faster

Audi best in class
🧢
Gracious words are like a honeycomb, sweetness to the soul and health to the body.
you should have brought MX5 competition for a proper comparison. good show
The X6m would have been the proper comparison. And would have won.
You meant X6
A "MX5"? how could a tiny mazda keep up with these 2?
@@Bergerac82😂😂😂😂😂
@@Bergerac82rs 8 r wins
I would like to see the X6m competition vs gle 63 s on drag race
I'm an amg fan and own a c63s coupe 2018 but the x6m will win and by a lot.... because this year amg are stupid :(

@@motorofficial you didnt share that info saying the Australian model doesn't have u just said this amg doesn't have LC which makes will make people think it the gle itself
There not using the Merc right at all
the mercedez was slipping on the brake test and the audi was just stopping not any obvious slippage
Content getting better.
AMG has launch control!!!!!!!!!!!
I love RS Q8 and own Q8 55TFSI, but GLE AMG 63s should be winning everytime on this drag race
You In the Mercedes, learn how to drive or move to sawing class or something. And in the roling race the Audi jumped the start.
Please race the winner RSQ8 against X6M and line up others Alfa stelvio,Porche until the overall winner then declare the ultimate winner.??I enjoyed the video..keep rolling
the stelvio is not even in the same class. Not in size, not in in Power, not in quality and not in image aswell....
Mercedes loses to bmw Audi and Porsche and also loses in the 2nd trim. BMW and Audi offer V8s in the S and M line but Mercedes gives a whimsy inline 6 in the gle 53 that is so slow it’s embarrassing to call it an amg.

Me while studying, thinking which car will go fast amg or audi 😅
No launch control sport plus
Thanks for your video. Anyway AMG is the best
Is this with one foot roll out?
Hi TJ, thanks for the comment. No, we don’t record our figures using the roll out. And it’s 0-62mph as well, not 60 👍🏼
@@alexinwood2723 thanks for your reply and good video 👊🏻
Not bad for a pair of giant prams.
🤣
Um you have drag race mode...try that.
Im glad to say i have a audi rsq8
Mercedes ❤️
It's not real... Now the RS Q8 Performance that's a real race
Audi is amazing but Mercedes gearbox best than Audi gearbox because Audi is automatic torque converter and Mercedes gearbox is MCT multi clutch transmission not torque converter
Wow ... super ... Awesome ...looking forward for more comparisons.. good luck
Yall keep making my gle look bad
Before you says go the audi driver pressed it at 1
Carwow content much?
That 63 is much faster than the driver claims
Audi looks way better, and they don't call it a "coupe"
Q8 RS 👍👍👍
You shuld rece Audi and range rover velar
Thank You Almighty God I will buy one of each of them
Fucken greedy!!!
RSQ8 any day
Like it wasn't fair bcoz Gle didn't have the launch control
New camera angles, and the instrument inset, are grouse!
He doesnt know how to drive that Mercedes! There is a launch control! I have clocked 3.4 second 0-60
Maybe throw an X6M in there too
Take launch control off the audi
Alex! Wooo
Thank you AUDI I'm pleased with this purchase. I never cared for that Mercedes turtle anyway
Ahha that’s true the Mercedes are so ugly
Mercedes is so lazy calling them "coupes"
Benz driver did NOT have his foot on that pedal 😡, I KNOW he coulda beat him!!!
Audi less power but more faster ❤ 👌
Audi top
X5M is faster then both of them, plus it’s very boring watching two powerful cars race in comfort mode, complete waste of time
Audi in all looks better and a winner as well.. beautiful car
PORSCHE CAYENNE TURBO GT will smoke both of these.
00:24 just a NB : its pronounced COUPEY not COUP ; Coupey = Coupé in French (means "Cut", adj) as a reference to the shape of the car.
Would take the Audi 10 / 10 before this vid...now it's 11/10 lol.
Scrap the Merc. Audi will alway hammer the slow Merc's any day
th-cam.com/video/UniMxk-G3_U/w-d-xo.html maybe this will change your mind, from all drag races ive seen, the AMG are always Quicker.
Audi rsq8 more sporty and faster than mb
No way that's very impossible cmon
Speed aside, Merc just looks hedious as compared to the Audi, older AMG exhausts do sound very good though.
AMG does have launch control; this drag race is inaccurate.
A misleading video. Do a proper comparison.
He has smoked me😂😂
the Audi is so quite inside!
The X6 smokes em all
But looks the ugliest
The Volvo XC90
Audi
Ofc GLE63s its does have a Launch Control you just have to know how to active 🤦🏻♂️🤦🏻♂️🤦🏻♂️
it even a a35 does have it
i had to stop watching the video the moment he said the mercedes doesn't have launch control. i figured he doesn't know the cars he's putting head to head
G'day Abdul, the fact it doesn't have LC was a surprise to us as well! However, Mercedes confirmed this car did not have launch control
