In this Hagerty video, we dive headfirst into the world of compact sport sedans, pitting the Mercedes AMG C63S E Performance Turbo, BMW M3 CS, and Tesla Model 3 Performance against each other. The Mercedes, once a V8 powerhouse, now surprises with a 671-horsepower 4-cylinder engine boosted by electric motors. However, its hefty weight becomes a noticeable disadvantage in the race. On the other end, the BMW M3 CS flaunts 543 horsepower from a twin-turbo straight-6 engine, showcasing its power and agility on the track. Despite costing $30,000 more than the base M3, the M3 CS proves its worth with impressive performance.

Meanwhile, the Tesla Model 3 Performance enters the ring as the underdog, priced significantly lower than the Mercedes and BMW. With 510 horsepower and a longer range, the Model 3 Performance challenges traditional notions of speed and efficiency in the compact sedan category. As the race unfolds, the BMW M3 CS steals the show with a lightning-fast 0-60 mph time of 2.8 seconds, closely followed by the Tesla Model 3 Performance. The Mercedes C63 AMG, although powerful, struggles to keep up due to its complex powertrain and slower acceleration, highlighting the importance of streamlined performance in this competitive field.

Surprisingly, in real-world conditions without launch control, the Tesla Model 3 Performance emerges as the ultimate victor, leaving the BMW M3 CS in its dust. The Tesla's electric powertrain proves to be a game-changer, showcasing the evolving landscape of compact sports sedans with its unmatched performance. As fans of compact sports sedans now have the option to choose between electric, hybrid, and gas-powered models, the race results challenge traditional expectations and open up new possibilities in the world of high-performance sedans.
