I was only a matter of time. Thar car is going to be awesome.

ProjectCamaro

That car is going to be an absolute beast.

Why is it so far away...........

Good Lord - can't wait!

1/4 mile is going to be insane with a tune.

I think C&D might be speculating, when it comes to the C, in this article

JumpinJim

Sorry all, that article is a month old. Its just guesses. They even got details of the new E wrong as the newer MT article detailed.

BoBcanada

i'd be also happy with 4.0 or 4.6 twin turbo v8. Still gonna be a beast. But 5.5 seems like a logical mov for MB.

With the C63s huge weight advantage its going to be a supercar killer.

kaz109

Call me old fashion but i hate that the 63 and the M3 are going turbo...like the higher reving NA V8 better and its more pure IMO...very few pure cars out right now imo...gt3, R8, F430, 458 , sls etc etc

Especially if it gets all wheel drive.

It would be nice if they put the 5.5TT in the C63. I drove a new SL63 with the 5.5TT at Laguna and was really surprised at how smooth the power comes on. No turbo lag at all. Big fat and flat torque curve.

The fact that they speculate the name would change to C55 when all the other 157 powered models are still called 63's creates some question as to the accuracy of this article. One can still hope...I'll take a Cxx AMG Coupe 4-matic in red of course.

YYZ-E55

5.5L non-turbo is more realistic (SLK 55).

I can say that AMG has explicitly said that the new SLK engine is ONLY for that vehicle, or that was the case as of ~3 months ago.

DuaneC63

That's only 415hp. Not going to be a good upsell for current C63 owners.

Dreams do come true folks...hang tight...

6.3AMG

As long as its a V8

late_bloomer

c55tt estate, awd please! Obviously not happening, but I can still dream..

BenzoBoi

That thing is going to FLY!

elijah

I dont like those pictures

dragonAMG

What would be faster... C63 5.5tt or c63 supercharged???

justthebest

Assuming numbers we've all seen in the flesh / established capabilities, the 5.5TT would destroy any blown 6.3.

Merc63

How so?

My stage 3 blower is rated for 730-750 HP on stock internals. With internals 850-1000hp.

A tuned cls from renntech is rated at 670hp. Add intercooler, down pipe, bigger turbos and HP goes up, haven't seen anything as high as the built weistec stage 3 yet.

dragonAMG

I would think a blown 63 as well.

With everything being equal, higher displacement is obviously going to produce more power. I know for sure that M156 engine's head is a solid architecture. However, I'm not sure if that of the M157 is a solid or open architecture. Obviously, a solid architecture will be able to handle way, way more power than an open architecture.
