Next Gen C63?
I know it's a bit premature since Mercedes has just shown us the Refresh, but what would you guys like to see from the next generation C63? Do you want a boosted engine? Do you want sharper feel? What kind of design cues would you like to see incorporated? I can't wait for details to leak and spy shots to show up.

A model that doesn't change every three years
Seriously, wider tires in the rear, standard LSD, more CF and aluminum parts for weight savings, leather dash, 19" optional rims, made in Germany (talks of new C class being built in Billy Bob country)

That's one thing I LOVE about the C63 AMG. The carbon fiber inserts! The M3 only has Carbon Fiber Leather trim. No CF inserts.

Next C63
Next C63 should have a full CF bodyshell () with engine HP output of around 600-700hp, has the suspension of a Porsche Cup car ( ) and the braking power of a Brembo GTR's.

Less weight with the same or a little more power would be fun.

CF Hood option: 30 lbs
CF Trunk option: 15 lbs

I'm being conservative because I acknowledge that I do not know the scope of the applicable safety standards.
But, I figure these items are already available now so I should hope the technology would have advanced some by the time the new body style comes out.
I wouldn't purchase carbon ceramic breaks. Too rich for my blood. Plus I wouldn't have the use for them.

They can shave a lot. I mean, we the end customer know how to shave weight and given MB's ability to manufacture to their hearts delight (within obvious safety and economic constraints), they can probably shave 100-200 lbs.
