Autocar India’s experts tested and named the five quickest cars currently on sale in the local market. Here’s how the leaderboard stacks up.5. BMW XMThe radical-looking XM—the only SUV in this list—is the first SUV fully developed by BMW M. It pairs a 4.4-liter twin-turbo V8 with a plug-in hybrid system featuring a 25.7 kWh lithium‑ion battery. Together, the setup delivers 653 hp and 800 Nm, while WLTP-rated efficiency stands at 61.9 km/l. From a standstill, it sprints to 100 km/h in just 4.44 seconds. For something this substantial, that turn of speed is striking.4. BMW M340iThis sedan uses BMW’s celebrated 3.0-liter B58 turbocharged straight-six, sending 374 hp and 500 Nm to all four wheels via an 8-speed automatic. It stops the clock at 4.39 seconds for the 0–100 km/h run. It’s a reminder of why the B58 enjoys such a loyal following.3. Mercedes-AMG C 63 S E-PerformanceThe latest AMG C 63 S stirred debate by swapping the previous twin-turbo V8 for Mercedes-AMG’s 2.0-liter “M139” turbocharged four-cylinder paired with a plug-in hybrid system. Although this setup adds more than 300 kg, it unleashes 680 hp and 1020 Nm. The super-sedan reaches 100 km/h in 3.68 seconds. Controversial on paper, decisive on the timing gear.2. Mercedes-AMG S 63 E-PerformanceUnder the skin is a 4.0-liter twin-turbo V8 hybrid system, good for a towering 802 hp and 1430 Nm. The 0–100 km/h dash takes 3.46 seconds—remarkable given the size and heft of the AMG S 63 E-Performance. It’s opulence with a launch-control mindset.1. BMW M8 CompetitionThe handsome flagship coupe takes the top spot, edging the AMG S 63 E-Performance by just 0.01 seconds in the 0–100 km/h sprint. Its time is 3.45 seconds. Power comes from a 4.4-liter twin-turbo V8 rated at up to 625 hp and 750 Nm, working with an 8-speed automatic that drives all four wheels. There’s a ruthless efficiency in how it converts power into pace.
