2015 Mercedes-AMG C 63: Image gallery
Mercedes has officially revealed the AMG version of its brand new C-Class and as expected, it comes with a proper sledgehammer whack of power from its all-new twin turbo V8 engine. Also from the AMG GT is the all-new 4.0-litre twin turbo V8 in two states of tune. Interestingly, however, the base C 63 produces more power than the base AMG GT (456PS vs 469PS).
The AMG GT uses a twin clutch box while the C 63 gets AMG's Speedshift MCT 7 auto 'box. Mercedes claims a 0-100kmph sprint of 3.9 seconds for the S variant and 4.0 seconds for the standard C 63. Both are restricted to a top speed of 250kmph. The new engine produces more power than the legendary naturally aspirated 6.3-litre V8 it replaces but Mercedes claims that it is up to 32 per cent more efficient.

The C 63 comes with dynamic engine mounts as standard
The company also claims that it produces the roaring exhaust note we have come to expect of its AMG engines
Red and black dual tone makes the interior look sporty
Aiding the sharp handling and drift-happy nature AMGs cars tend to display, is a mechanical locking differential in the rear and three step adjustable suspension

The top end C 63 S gets the same 503PS as the AMG. But there's a difference in the gearboxes as well
